I just got back from the extended family's Mother's Day party. D4 "got" her mommy a new blouse from mommy's favorite store (where mommy can no longer afford to shop, by the way), and mommy was very happy. In addition to D, she thanked me several times, and her eyes said that she meant it. "I" didn't get W anything, not even a card, and that's the first time ever for that; but W obviously knew that I purchased the blouse, which she clearly liked. Only mistake -- apparently, W has dropped a size and I haven't noticed. Oh well.

All interaction with W was casual and fun. Good stuff.


The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
