We had a wonderful week. It is so nice to have Miss E home for the summer. She had this week off to enjoy before she starts her summer job. It was her birthday and we did some fun things for that. Had my last COVID vaccine clinic that I helped with which has been a wonderful thing. Take a look at our week....
Our Sunday evening game was Ticket to Ride at Miss E's request. Love that game. Haven't played it in a while.
Monday evening we had a picnic, roasted hot dogs, had smores and enjoyed paddle boards at a small lake near our house. Lots of fun!
This is a truly great group of people! Together we have volunteered over 2100 hours to help get people in our community vaccinated. I made so many new friends! We all loved working together over the last 4 months to do something to help end this crazy we have been in over a year. Love these good people!
Miss E decided she wanted to make bread this week, and it was soooo good! Recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe (of course) here
National Day of Prayer was this week, and Ben's work asked if he would be willing to say a few words and offer a prayer on that day. Miss E and I joined them. It was very touching. He did a great job!
Date night this week---we went plant and flower shopping to get our outside planters done. Excited!
Miss E's birthday cake. She requested a chocolate banana peanut butter cake, and it was so good! Those stripes are the buttercream--chocolate and peanut butter. Yummy! Recipe from Cake by Courtney here
A Very Happy Birthday to this amazing girl! So happy to have her home! She has had quite the year with COVID ending her senior year early and a so not normal first year of college, but she survived and did amazing! Looking forward to having her home for the summer!
Miss E requested a family fun day for her birthday. We took our bikes to the city and did a 16 mile bike ride on a beautiful trail. Then we had a picnic lunch and did some birthday shopping for Miss E. It was a great day!
For Miss E's birthday dinner, she found an Indian restaurant that she wanted to go to. This was a first for us, and it did not disappoint! So yummy! Looking forward to going back soon!
Thanks for visiting! Hope you had a great week and Mother's Day weekend! Stay safe and well!
It looks like such a fun week for Miss E's birthday. It's always great to be able to get outside and enjoy so much fun family time together. And look at that amazing cake. It truly looks like a work of art. Such great volunteer work you did with the vaccine clinics too and it is good news you don't need more. We are actually ramping up clinics here to help get all the 12-18 kids vaccinated before the summer. Can't wait for this to be all over and love seeing things getting back to a more normal way of life.
