I finished getting ready for card club and by 9 Ken was back home. He did some work and clean-up at his desk while I worked on this blog and did my devotions. I called and sang Happy Birthday to my mother and then together, Ken and I sang for his sister's birthday. What a special day for our families!
Ken left when the ladies arrived around 11:30. We had such a good time playing cards and socializing. This group has been together for about 30 years, playing 8 months (each time at one of our homes) and then the 9th month we go out to eat! I had the high score of the day (wow!) and won $10.00! Everyone left around 3:30 which the same time Ken returned. He had spent his time at the library and then going to Costco.
We cleaned-up and since both of us had plenty to eat, skipped dinner and drove to Masonic Homes where we celebrated my mother's birthday with Dad, Cindy, and John. We had taken a large cake from Costco that mom enjoyed sharing with the residents. The 6 of us played 2 games of Up the River and the women won both. It was a fun celebration!

| Happy 89th, Mom! |
Tuesday was another very rainy one until about 12:30. Ken and I got haircuts at Jamie's which gave us a chance to have a nice visit. We left there at 10 and went directly to pick-up food to deliver for Meals on Wheels. It positively "poured" on our way there, but thankfully it only rained lightly when we were delivering the food. I took Ken back home and went right to Masonic Homes, arriving around noon to pick up my mother and take her to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist in Lancaster. She has been experiencing hoarseness for quite sometime and was concerned that she had a major problem. I am happy to report that her throat has a "clean bill of health" and it is just a case of senility laryngitis - who knew such a thing existed??? Apparently our vocal cords can lose their elasticity as we age and that is the case for my mother. She was so relieved. We made several additional stops on our way back to Masonic. It was a fun day with my mother especially after the Dr. visit!
Ken had spent most of the day reading and on the computer ordering somethings we needed before heading to Florida. I was home by 4:15 and by 6:30 we were on our way to celebrate 9 years of the Celebrate Recovery program at LCBC. Our friends, Dan and Jackie, went with us as well as one of the young gentleman that Ken works with. It was an amazing evening of fantastic music and tear jerking testimonies of folks who have overcome so much heartache in their lives because of Celebrate Recovery.
We were back home by 9:30 and went right to bed. It was another good day!
Today, Wednesday, we watched a little bit of the news and then Ken ate breakfast before going to volunteer at MCC. By 9:45 I had finished mixing and baking 2 batches of those delicious oat bran muffins, eaten breakfast, and cleaned up. I spent some time on the internet ordering some die cuts for making greeting cards and then worked on this blog..
Ken was home by 12:30 and we had lunch. I spent the afternoon making cards while Ken read. We mad salads for dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, and then went for about a 2 mile walk. It was in the 50's but offered plenty of sunshine. More time for crafting and reading before Ken grilled. After dinner we finished a game of Hand and Foot that Ken was winning, but I was victorious at the end! I watched a couple reruns of Frazier and x-stitched while Ken listened to some Bible Study Videos from his friend, Rick. Bed by 10.
