I had a very nice day. Julie called @7AM and yelled 'Happy Birthday, Mom! Happy Birthday, Mom! You know who this is, right?' into the message system. I don't do 7AM any day. Then Julie and Rachel came over, and I gave Julie a massage for her Mother's Day present. Rachel stayed for her nap while Julie did some errands. Went to class, got my Thoracic & Lumbar Spine final back(100% on both parts(it is actually 2 tests and I got the 100% on both parts(I got a 'Very Good!!!!' on 2 essays))). The girls in class provided a dinner break party of subs, fresh fruit, chips and salsa, brownies and a double layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. All in all a great day. Thanks. Jan, who doesn't feel as old as the calendar says.... =;-0

Thank you Mark so much for bringing this thread back up. Yes, we did just celebrate his 26th here at home. It was really a wonderful occasion. They are all doing well, employed and living in their own home now. What a difference a few months make! My grandkids come and spend a night or two every so often and I see my son every couple of weeks. It's just a long awaited dream come true to have them living within a 30 min drive! Thank you all for your well wishes. I'll be sure to pass them on to him. :)

Good Thursday evening! We've had a false-spring day today, and I was out and enjoying it as much as possible. The best thing has happened!!! Remember when I worked out at Butterfly Life here and loved it? Well, when they closed, they donated all their equipment to a local huge non-denominational church out on the highway. I joined their gym last January, but they didn't have room to set out the equipment back then, so I quit going and switched to Curves. Yesterday, I learned that the BL pieces are now in a special room in the gym, so I went and joined this morning and had my first workout in 15 months on it. I smiled the entire workout! Can't wait to get back there tomorrow. :-) Today I enjoyed a much-needed lunch/chat with a lovely friend here. Then it was off to the library to help set up for the book sale this weekend, then on to the community center to get change and pancake tickets to sell at the bank tomorrow. I have to make a few posters for the ticket sellers to hang on their card tables when we sell this weekend. Tomorrow night at the center there will be a music program including lots of school kids and their parents, so my friend and I will set up there and try to sell more tickets. Suzanne, you probably don't even realize what an impact you have on your community, and those people are just paying it back showing their concern for Sweet Pea. BJ, good to see you, girl! Your SIL has my best thoughts and prayers for healing. Dinner tonight will be steak at the golf club with some friends we became friends with during the Fall. Should be a fun evening. THen home to get those posters finished! I would appreciate good thoughts as my dh has his long-awaited biopsy on his pancreas tomorrow. Thanks! Wishing everyone a good evening and an easy Friday!

Happy Birthday Stacy!! Sorry Scott isn't there to celebrate but I'm sure he will make up for it big time when he gets back. Good luck with the pool too. I opened mine last weekend with no drama at all. We won't talk about all the stuff in today from the storms last night...LOL! A big clink to you! David
