Thursday night, Linda and I had dinner at Viva Chicken.  Linda is one of my very favorite people in the world and I always enjoy catching up with her.  

Happy 84th Birthday, Dad!

Dad turned 84 on Tuesday.  He didn't feel like going out to a restaurant so I was asked to pick up Five Guys' Burgers and Fries (and peanuts!)   Mom said we will all go out to eat at a different time.  Unfortunately, Rana had to work so she missed out on this part of Dad's celebration.  She is heading back to Syria for 3 weeks on May 10th and is working as many hours as she can now.  

Double Digit Daniel

Daniel turned 10 years old on Saturday.  Lucky Daniel, he celebrated his birthday at the beach!  Kevin texted this picture to me from Joe's Crab Shack.  They gave him a sombrero to wear while he ate his birthday meal.   You know me, all I can think is "There ain't no way I'm putting that thing on my head."  I can almost feel the lice crawling in my hair!  

April Flowers

Happy Birthday to Dad's sisters.  These women that I love so much all have birthdays in the month of April.

Sunday Night Sadness

It's 10:00 pm on Sunday night and I'm not ready for the weekend to end.  Last week was a blur as we had several VIP's from our corporate office in town for most of the week and everything was out of our normal routine.  The men were all very nice and I like them very much but, my social anxiety won't let me relax when they are around.  

Here are a few highlights from my week:    

A typical Sunday afternoon last week:  Mom reading the paper while Daniel watches SpongeBob and plays games on his iPad. 

April Fun

Monday night, I took Balto to visit Mom and Dad.  It was a little tricky getting Balto past the (neighbor's) cat who was lying on the bed by the door.  They both seemed very surprised to see each other.  Once inside, Balto tip-toed to the door and watched the cat sleep.
