Good morning my family and friends

It's another glorious day to be alive! We've spent a lot of time with family and friends this weekend and things are getting more back to normal. In fact, we celebrated Bill's 67th birthday and our dear friend, Judith Beer, birthday's on Friday night. I felt like I had overdone a little bit on Friday, so we took them to dinner at LePeep's. Bruce, Judith, their daughter Rachel, our neice Kara, Bill and myself enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Here's a plug for them, they have a coupon from Kroger's and Tom Thumb for $4.99...anything on the menu. YAY! I love discounts and that one is great! Then back to the house for Bill's favorite cake (chocolate sheet cake - homemade) and he was delighted! We played a super fun game, Sequence, and had a blast! They went home about 10:30 as we all had plans for Saturday.

With the new day on Saturday, Bill and Kara took his rental car back and came back to the house and took me to breakfast! They're so sweet! Then I decided I felt pretty good, so asked Bill if we could invite all of my family over for a "thank you for taking care of me" dinner. Had a meatloaf (in the shape of a heart), baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, grilled pineapple and a new recipe of stuffed cabbage that was cooked on the grill. It was delicious! Our dessert was the remainder of the chocolate cake and vanilla bean ice cream. And guess what else we did? We played Sequence again and had another blast! We do so enjoy that game and more than anything we praise God for all the blessings and fellowship that we shared!

I overdid it again yesterday, so stayed at home this morning while Bill went to church. He is the Eucharistic Minister for the 7:30 mass and that was a little too early for me. Jan came over and stayed with me while he went to church. He had to be there at 7:00 this a.m., and it was nice to stay in bed. By 7:50 I was up though. I was feeling really guilty for not going to church with him. Watched and taped several religious programs on television. Our God is so mighty and powerful. The television programs were wonderful!

Going to get River Forest Directories delivered to the neighbors today. Hubby asked if there was anything that I needed to do today. I told him that if he needed this day, that I wanted him to take advantage of it. He's been such a wonderful spirit through this ordeal and I absolutely adore his attitude and gratitude.

Keep me in your prayers and thanks for your prayers for Tiffany, Melissa and Janet. They're working!

P.S. I wanted to add, that the wig that I am wearing in my most recent photo is on loan from my dear friend Judith.

Count your blessings,
Jeanine
