Mother's Day Weekend..

Even though we could not have our traditional meal altogether this Mother's Day, the weekend was packed with visits.. Dan, Kate and Zolani visited Saturday.. When they arrived, I awoke Sally and announced their arrival.. She replied " I can't beleive that they finally made it!!! ( they have had sickness which prevented them from coming over the past few weeks.) Sally was up and down most of the day. Twice when she went to bed in the afternoon, Dan,Kate and Zolani prepared to leave, but before the got into their car, Sally was beckoning to get up..







Sunday's activities were even more amazing with Susie coming to stay with Sally while I went to meeting.. Susie and I prepared dinner ( she explains these activities in detail in their blog) which we thoroughly enjoyed, not because of the food, but because of Sally's new-found zest for eating!! As dinner was finishing it occurred to me that today was Mother's Day for both my wife and my daughter who were able to spend it together.


The remainder of Susie's family and Ron, Kalyn, Robert and Ian joined us for dessert.. As you might imagine the Chocolate Ice Cream from Massey's was a tremendous hit.. After dessert the kids hit the rope swing for a little fun and exercise.




The day was very enjoyable, as Sally remained awake and participated with everyone throughout the afternoon and early evening.

    Oh my! Mom (LaVon Komarek) posted the link to your blog on her Facebook page... I can't believe it! I'm so sorry you lost your dear Sally... we still talk about you and her, and have such fond memories. oh, by the way, this is Beth, just older than Becky, I'm the 3rd daughter, and remember you both from Baumholder. Again, what a blessing to see you here, and know you and Sally had a long and wonderful marriage, that she is resting in the arms of her loving Father. Be well... Beth Wood.
