My Happy Birthday!!

                                                    Wesley, Thelma, Pop, and Me

I had the most perfect day yesterday. God ordered up the most perfect weather, not too hot and not too cold. Greg chose to mow the back yard as my birthday present while Joel was out of town so I could lay down a weed and feed. Cheryl Thrift sent me a bouquet of flowers that arrived by courier on Friday. The Relief Society placed a lawn sign in my front yard proclaiming to all that it was my birthday, while I received several cards in the mail as well as Facebook greetings. Then in the evening my Aunt Tim prepared a family dinner for the entire family. After the great food, we all sat around the table and talked about my Sunday School lesson. Everyone came away with a great feeling.

I wish you could have been there. You would have enjoyed the light banter (nothing heavy, honest!). The picture above was taken during as we all prepared to leave the get-together. Wesley even enjoyed the light banter and stayed the entire time.

BTW, doesn't Dad look good for a 90 year-old? I can't believe how good he looks.

Last week my Sunday School lesson was on the Restoration of the Priesthood. Bishop Stansel's sister was in the class. She told the Bishop that I was the best Gospel Doctrine teacher and he was lucky to have me. Bishop Stansel agreed with her.

I've got to leave now. But I'd rather stay here and talk with you than go back to work. I love having this small connection with you that no one knows about. You are the light of my life. And always shall be.
