Birthdays for Garrison and Grammy - July/August 2023






 Mark continues to improve after 10 radiation treatments on his brain cancer.   He is now able to walk quite well with his walker and is living alone again - God is good!!!  He is back working from home full time which is a miracle in itself.  Ron and I drove to St. Louis August 12 to celebrate Mark's August 11 birthday with him by fixing him his favorite meal - fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and apple pie.  He was happy we came to visit.  It was nice to witness his improvements.  Praise God.

Amanda, Peyton and Victoria went to Arrowhead to see Ed Sheeran (Peyton's Christmas present).  They had a great time.

Garrison and I celebrated our joint birthday (July 29).  We took his a cookie birthday cake with a 12 and baseball on it.  He blew out 12 candles.  We took the family to Longhorn Steakhouse to celebrate - Peyton was at cheer practice and couldn't join the fun.   

The Todds sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday - so special and sweet.

Garrison celebrated his "friend" birthday with a trip to Smiley's Mini Golf, pizza for dinner at home and a sleepover - Channing, Connor and Ashton celebrated with him.  He had a DQ ice cream cake 

Peyton and Grammy Day was last Monday.  We picked her up around 9:30 a.m. - first stop was coffee house Out of the Blue for coffee and a muffin.  She found a couple of things at Lululemon, a sweatshirt at American Eagle, make up at Sephora and new Nike tennis shoes at Schools.  We had a great day, complete with an Uber Driver (Grandpa) and lunch at Olive Garden.

The remodel of our main floor bathrooms is to begin this coming Tuesday or Wednesday.  It will take 3 weeks.  

God is good - we are blessed.
