We had a birthday party this evening for Elaine. Carolyn and Julie brought Chocolate cake and Cheesecake to help celebrate. Jack has a band aid on the right side of his head from a mosquito bite but was ready to help eat the cake. The kids played on our living room floor with the Dominoes, checkers1 and the Piggy Bank that they knew from the house. They also played with color markers that would only apply their colors to a special paper that came with them. The lamp table between our chairs has become "their toy chest". Carolyn had been to Lincoln today and brought home some new clothes for Elaine to try on for her birthday but also to have some new "duds" to fit our new life style.
We got to 10:30 church this morning and was able to announce Elaine's birthday during the joys and concerns. I didn't tell her age but said she was approaching her 19th birthday when we got married in June of 1949. All of the meals are served early here so we didn't stay for Social Hour at Church but came home after making a "Hurricane Relief" contribution and taking communion. We went down to the house this afternoon where Elaine did the laundry and we gathered up a few more things to bring up. This was a good Day.
