Day 90

June 4th -  

This picture is one of my favorites of Jared. Yesterday was his birthday and I neglected to mention it so I wanted to make notice of that in this post. Jared turned 9 years old yesterday. I have known him for almost 4 years now and I have grown to appreciate this little man. He can be a wild little indian sometimes, but also he has a soft, tender heart and this grandma sure does enjoy her time together with him.

He has different insights into situations and I love hearing his perspective. He is truly an outdoors-type boy. His thoughts run toward hunting, fishing, camping, archery and he is constantly collecting frogs, lizards and other critters that have managed to cross our property. He has tried to convince me to go camping and fishing in the middle of winter or to climb down the hill behind our house after we've had days of rain and everything is mud.

This year I had the opportunity to spend Monday afternoons with him and we read books, play games, practice spelling and work on homework. These have been great times to build a relationship with each other. 

So happy birthday Jared. May this year be your best one yet! 

So I spent Saturday morning relaxing, reading, doing homework, and watching some tv. I emailed back and forth with Wade. He is fine - says he has some plans in the works and can't share anything yet. But I'm sure I'll learn about it in the proper time. 

Jason & Peggy were busy preparing for their parties that would happen this afternoon. Jared's birthday party at 1:00 and then Jaide's party at 3:00. 

I had some things to do this afternoon and I left the house around 12:30. I had an "E-E-E-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Mystery Palace" 

Alpha Omega

After that I went to the mall to pick up some things for Jaide & Jared for their birthday and then to the grocery store for tomorrow night's dinner. Jaide used her 'birthday privilege' and chose curried chicken for dinner. But I was so tired tonight, I boiled my chicken breasts and fixed myself a crab salad for dinner. I will take care of the rest of the preparations tomorrow. I'm worn out. 

We have severe thunderstorm warnings until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. According to the news station these storms have strong winds and hail. They're in Indiana now and expected to arrive in a couple of hours.
