We babysat for Dean and Harley today.

Harley is Andy and Julies new puppy who is 7 weeks old. He is a Llewellin Setter. Both of them were good. They ate their lunch and took their naps. They had fun playing with grandpa in the back yard. I am finishing my 3rd cycle of revlidmid and no side effects so far with this reduced dose. My labs were all in a good range last Thursday when I saw Dr. Goldman.

Mothers Day...
has come and gone. I thank God for allowing me to share this special day with my mother, sister, grandaughter and husband. After church we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch where Sylvia and I had a great ribeye steaks and my mom had barbeque ribs. Bob and Aly had bacon cheeseburgers. This was a big change over last year when I spent the day in the hospital and I was unable to eat anything except for some watermelon. My kids came over to celebrate with me on Saturday. Aly and Jack spent the night and hopefully had a good time with us old folks. : ) Julie, Andy and the kids brought me a hanging plant filled with red astorias. Steve, Jen and the boys brought me 2 hanging plants, one with yellow petunias and the other with white and lavendar petunias. My porch looks so beautiful now.

Friday I went to Danielle's school for a Mothers Day tea party. Julie had to work and I was happy to be asked to fill in for her. The first graders sang songs and read poems for their moms and a few of us special grandmothers. This was followed by snacks in the cafeteria. I felt sorry that Julie had to miss this special day but I had a great time.
