Joy

Friday morning we were able to plant flowers at my mom's house. She buys the flowers but is not able to put them in so we have planted them for her for the past 3 years. I am so glad Bob is patient with me because I am so difficult to get up and functional early in the morning (even on tennis days :) Of course, once we are going I am so happy we did. Mom was so thankful and the flowers will be beautiful this season, once again. Very rewarding service. Then we came home and cleaned up to go to Bob's daughters house. We were invited to attend grandparents day at the elementary school and had lunch with 4 of our grandkids at 3 different lunches. What fun! It was the highlight of the month for us. The added plus was spending time before lunch playing with two of the smaller grandkids at home. They are so much fun and give us such enjoyment. In the afternoon, my husband took me to see the Michael Jackson movie. YES, I am an MJ fan from years past and wanted to see the movie. We actually enjoyed it. Of course, we came home to the Suns game and it was awesome to see them top the Celtics at the Garden. GO SUNS!
Saturday morning we played tennis in the am with our group. That is always fun once I get over having to get out of bed so early. At ten I had an appointment at church for visiting teaching, then we picked up Bob's mom and took her to the football game of two of the grandsons. We enjoy being outdoors and watching the kids play. Saturday afternoon we did a bit of cleaning and getting ready for dinner with my family. Mom gave all of my siblings and us season tickets to Hale theater for Christmas the past couple of years. It is the best gift and occasionally we meet for dinner. This was the second time we have had them over. It is fun to be with the siblings and spouses in one place for dinner and then off the the play. It was "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" this time and a great evening, as always. Sunday is our favorite day to relax, go to church and enjoy each other in the quiet of our home.
I am hoping to post pics soon. Not good at that, but I am mainly trying to keep up on posting what's up!
