Dear Family,
Laughter is beautiful music especially
when it comes from our children. Adriel
happily bought curtains and organizers for her room. She came home, a friend in tow with arms
full. When I exclaimed, “Someone’s been
shopping!” They both laughed and it was delightful.
Adriel cleaned her car. She brought it to the shop for repairs and
Harold is the original owner. She wants
him to see that she is taking care so she had to clean it out. How fun.
Not only is she paying for her car repairs but she wants to make a good
impression. I am proud of her
development.
Chatting with Adriel is
wonderful. She has opinions, is informed,
and keeps me up to date on things that matter.
I love Adriel. I enjoyed
watching, “I Love Lucy” with her this week.
She enjoys the show and calls it, “Wholesome.”
Seth worked hard this week at
the church. He helps with janitorial
duties and is great filling in. They
even offered him more work. Seth also mowed
the lawn for us and hunted for an elusive blackberry. They are not ripe quite yet.
One of my favorite parts of
visiting my parents was their awe and wonder at Seth fixing himself an egg for
breakfast. Like fascinated folks at a zoo,
they watched his every move. I could
tell they delighted at his ability and independence. Also, out of all of us (Mom, Dad, Seth, and
I) Seth carried the heavy things to our picnic because he is the
strongest. How fun!
Seth kept us laughing with
hilarious quips and perfect timing. I
wish I wrote everything down. One
endearing thing he said is that he would break the law to save me (he did not
bring his license on our trip). I am
glad he would be willing to drive me to the hospital if I was having a heart
attack.
Bobby cooked several yummy
dinners. I enjoy our family time and
walking with him. I am very glad we have
each other.
My mother arranged a surprise
socially distant Birthday party for my dad’s 70th. It was immediate family only and
private. I enjoyed that he thought we
were only going on a picnic. When I
said, “I have a song coming on.” He said, “Go ahead and sing.” By the time I was done with “Happy Birthday”
Anita and her children had joined in the singing and were adorable with balloons
and excitement. We had frolicking, food,
fun, laughter, and general happy mayhem.
I enjoy my family.
May you also love those God has
given you. May your heart be full and
your days be glad. May you find joy even
when hugs are scarce. Much Love,
Cristy
Thank you Anita for the lovely picture.
