SURPRISE

We did it. David B. and Kim were able to pull off a surprise birthday party for Becky. We were at Fuentes Cafe downtown. She had always told me she never wanted to wear a hat or anything, but she didn't tell Kim that. We all had a good time.

Becky

Thirty six years ago tonight Mine and David's life was beginning a new chapter in our lives. This was a Friday and we had just moved to Lewisville, Texas nine days ago. Now I was in Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas awaiting this joyful bundle I wanted to hurry up and get here. All I can say is thank goodness for epidurals, I got mine at 11:30 pm. The night went good. Then at 7:58 AM on the 13th we had Rebecca Ann. Our lives have never been the same since, and we wouldn't change a thing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY

Can You Say Stupid?

I don't like using that word, but it is for myself. Remember science in school? What happens to cold glass when you add boiling, Not just hot but boiling water. Yes I am 59 years old and forgot. I was going to make jell-o and thought I will cool the bowl that will help it set faster. I was making a double batch and when I poured the last 2 cups of water the bowl it broke and let 4 cups of boiling water on my stomach and legs. David happened to be standing right by me and helped me get my dress of. I was screaming I'm burning, I'm burning. I got in the shower and the spray of the shower hurt so bad, but I got the red jell-o washed off and could see where it burned. My left stomach and thigh. We had some burn medicine and it helped some but I already have blisters. I will be ok. Now I can say Stupid, think next time.

Ouchy

As adults we seem to want to make the world difficult. We need to listen to our children/grandchildren. The Dr. has me wearing a orthopedic shoe that does not cause pressure on any part of my foot. I can't even remember the name of the shoe. Yesterday, (Friday) Papaw and I were visiting Justin and Cameron, well C was sleeping, & J was playing video games. He wanted to sit in my lap and play and of course I let him. Becky has always reminded he can't stand on Mamaws feet, so as he climbed up in my lap, he looked at my right foot and said, "you have on your ouchy shoe". He wanted to kiss it and make it better.

Out of the mouths of babes!
