Gift - opening time.
These parents stayed for the evening. They are good, good friends, and I enjoyed the chance to sit and talk and laugh with them.
Dick, unfortunately, missed the party completely. He was scheduled to work until 5 and was planning to leave directly from work and drive staight to the roller rink. However, we realized he would be fighting Penn State game traffic the whole way. As it turned out, he was given a job at 4:00, which took until 8:00 to complete. We both got home (to our Lititz house) around 10:30 PM.
This morning we went to our church. I didn't have to lead worship, but they did need Dick to play bass guitar. After church we went home and made chicken breasts on the grill. Dick went to see my dad while I took a nap. Then he came home and mowed our yard while I cleaned up and packed up. Meanwhile Destiny watched the musical Annie for the 3rd time this weekend, played with some of her birthday gifts, and then played restaurant with her old kitchen toys in the sunroom.
I took Destiny home while Dick went to visit his parents, and then we met up on the PA turnpike for our trip back to State College. We got home at 9:30. Last week I went to the library and got a book on CD for me (Dear John by Nicholas Sparks) and one for Destiny (The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson.) It made all the driving so much more pleasurable this weekend.
Tomorrow morning Dick goes to the oncologist for his second of four chemo treatments in this series of maintenance treatments. He hasn't experienced any adverse effects from the one last week, praise God.

Sounds like you had another busy weekend, but a good one! Bet Destiny loved the party!
Destiny looks like she was having a good time. You have taken good care of her, Jean.
What a nice party for Destiny. I know that made her very happy. Delightful pictures of Dad getting a hair cut.
I'm glad you had such a good visit with your dad. I love that you share so much with us! I am sure Destiny and her friends had a blast...any kids' party is usually a good time for all! I was looking at her in that one picture playing with all the kitchen stuff and was struck by how much she has GROWN since I started reading your blog! Hard to believe! How old was she on her birthday?? I've lost track over time.
Hope you're having a good week.
