What a beautiful early morning sky that was on Easter Sunday, breath-taking Jan. I have a little story to share. Yesterday was my youngest daughter, Kendra's, birthday and we spent most of the day together which is always something to be thankful for. First she had an appointment in the morning so I went over with a small bouquet of roses for her and stayed with Rebekah until she returned. I dashed home quickly to feed the puppies and let the big guys out and dashed back into town to pick up Kendra and Rebekah and we went out for a lovely lunch at a new "mom & pop" type restaurant called Kelly's. I had fish and chips (I am still looking for a place to get fish and chips that will "knock your socks off" and Kendra had a lovely steak sandwich. Close to the restaurant is an educational toy store for children so, of course, we had to check that out and all I can say is WOW -- amazing selection of really high end toys but because of the high end part of it we left without purchasing anything. Another day perhaps. Then Kendra had a couple of errands so the three of us did those together and when complete we were back to Grandma's to play with those adorable puppies of Aunties. Kendra and Paul had a meeting at 5:30 so I drove my birthday girl to the meeting and went back to Rebekah's house and did puzzles until her parents returned. Rebekah loves to do puzzles and she is really really really good at them. Her particular favourite is a large piece Disney Princess puzzle and I was watching her face and could see the "wheels turning" as she examined the pieces and placed them The puzzle was about 36 pieces I think and she had no problems whatsoever in completing it. I was amazed. It was a lovely day and I am so thankful for these days. Happy Birthday my dear Kendra! Thanks for sharing your special day with me. Sharon Attachments:
