WHEW!!!

Well the big day is over and everyone made it home safely! Dick and Jane, and John and Rosemary were the last to leave yesterday morning and Janie called last night and said that they were just leaving Dallas for home!!! She told me that Rosemary and John had barely made their connection in Houston because the plane was a little late leaving Sacramento but that she and Dick had a little while before their plane left Houston for Dallas!!! She said she considered it a success and I told her that I was more than satisfied with the number of people that showed up despite the weather! I'm still trying to open things and get cards and gifts straightened out!!!Somehow or another with the cards, some of them fell off the gifts, etc., so the Thank You's will just say "thank you so much for coming. I really appreciated it and hope that you enjoyed the party as much as I did!" I know what some of the things were and who they came from but one or two? I am completely at a loss!!!My legs are starting to feel a little better and that could also be because of the weather clearing up a bit! Got another gift yesterday. My brother Jerry and wife sent me a beautiful bouquet! Heard from Bob, of course and he said that Marilyn and he thought it worked out very nice!!!I heard from my brother Bob's youngest son, Joe, and he said that he had been given the weekend off and he was going to come and the Forestry Dept. called him and asked him to plow some roads! So he said, that changed everything!!! He lives up in Washington about 30 miles from the Canadian border in the Cascades! But he said that in a few weeks he was going to come by and see me because he was going to take a trip down to see his Dad and Sarah, etc. and of course would stop by here too, to see his brother Rob who lives in town! I just finished a piece of pie that Coco's gave me for "free" because of my birthday! We had gone over there to eat dinner on Sunday night!!!Seems like all we did is get in and out of cars ever since last Thursday! Since I don't do too much cooking anymore and don't keep "that" kind of food on hand anymore, it was eat out or else!!!! Truly though, now I'm beginning to let it sink in that I am alone again and it may be some time before I see some of my family again! Of course Steve lives in Stockton and this coming weekend Alicia's baby Lily is being Baptised and if I am at all able to attend that I will!!! My youngest Great-Grandchild of twelve Great-Grandchildren!!! I'm getting old, people!!! And tonight I feel like I just had my 100th birthday!!! Good night and God Bless you all!!!More on the party in a few days!
