Mother's Day!

Despite the chill in the wind and the occasional rain, we had a good day! B was up before 7 and came in to our room and laid on the floor beside Dad's side of the bed. JR asked what he was doing and he replied "Dad, we forgot to fix mom's breakfast in bed!". About 10 minutes later I was treated to cereal and juice in bed (I had told Dad nothing fancy, just go simple). B loved sitting in bed next to me as we both ate our cereal.
I have gotten a new seat for the bike (I don't know why bikes are sold with hard, uncomfortable seats). But now I am ready to start working toward my 9 mile route to visit a neighborhood with lots of church friends.
I have a prayer request. Last weekend one of my niece's friends (who is 7) became sick last Sunday. This past Thursday she died. She had a very, very rare blood platelet disease. The visitation is tomorrow (12th) and the funeral on Tuesday. The whole community is very shocked and really having a hard time with Stephie's death. Please pray for them the next couple of days, as they will be very difficult. I don't know anything about the family or their faith.

I am sooo sorry to hear about your niece's friend. Sometimes it is hard to understand what God is doing - especially when someone so young dies - BUT we can always TRUST that His plan is PERFECT and GOOD!

So glad to see you in the blogging world! YAY!
