May 3 we celebrated the baptism of our dear friend's baby girl, Helen Elisabeth. It was a wonderful occasion and enjoyed a wonderful lunch after wards. Thanks John and Robin!
We celebrated mother's day on May 10 by visiting with Melissa and Cynthia. I think that they both enjoyed their gifts - McCarty pottery.
We also celebrated my birthday WEEK. The week started off on Thursday, May 7 when my work threw me a surprise birthday party at Bosco's Squared. I was very surprised. Saturday, May 9, Lawrence took me to a delicious meal at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Monday, May 11, I had the day off (sorta) and mother and I went to the spa for an hour long massage. That evening it was my traditional birthday dinner (chicken kiev, cream corn and mashed potatoes) at my parents with Lawrence, mom, dad, Kristin and Spence (and of course Lia, Max, Justin and Katie). The week concluded on Saturday with a birthday party for me and Grandmomma. By then I was ready for the week to be over...I am too old to celebrate for 10 days :)
The weekend of May 15 was also a treat to get to spend time with old friends. Friday night, the Bozeman's opened up their home for a cookout...where the adults were outnumbered by the children. It was also my first time to meet the newest addition to the Olita family and the Gladden family. Saturday night was Pete and Sam's for dinner and then Brookhaven for after dinner drinks.
I think that the month of May finally caught up with me on Sunday, May 17. By the end of the day I was feeling yucky...but chalked it up to inhaling cleaning products while deep cleaning bathrooms. By Wednesday I felt the worst that I had in YEARS (and I have been sick the last 3 years with my sinus problems). Finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a throat infection -- yuck!! Since then I have been a slave to the couch for the most part. **Not to worry...I was not contagious, since I never had fever...per the doctor***
So needless to say, Memorial Day was pretty uneventful...a lot of sleeping and movies.We did venture out a bit on Saturday to see X-Men Wolverine and to a BBQ at my parent's on Sunday.
Hope you and your's is having a wonderful Memorial Day...we all do have a lot to be thankful for!!
