Surgery successful

So many people have been praying with us-- and the gratitude for a successful surgery is enormous. Quiet time at the Airbnb recovering, and a trip back home to Saint Paul.

 

At the Wilsons’

 What a lovely, lovely time I spend here at our beautiful, loving daughter’s family home. The little boys and their different needs fill my hours with love, day or night, inside or outside. And what a cute bouquet I received! This family lives its days so close to the heart of God, and the joy it brings me to experience their faithful and courageous days… 

 

Mother's Day 2021

This past Sunday the kids surprised me with what I call a "flower extravaganza"... plus a gift of gardening accessories: a great new hat, and a garden kit of a foldable seat and tool bag. Love it! Plus a gift certificate to a local garden center. Definitely feeling spoiled!

 

My dear Jessie

A beautiful card and a gorgeous flowering plant, both from her and Gus. Love them so much.

 

Roses

 Husband surprised me with these beautiful roses for Valentine's Day!

More Christmas days

Along with their their beautiful cards, Patric and Ciara sent homemade (delicious!) cookies, and a gorgeous new wooden puzzle!

 

Making and decorating Christmas nativity cookies!

Ciara gave us the set last year--and it was this Christmas delightful challenge!
