Catching Up…

Today is catch up day for me. I’ve got to get the house cleaned, laundry done, and a few last minute errands before our trip tomorrow. We leave for Arkansas for the surprise 80th birthday party we’ve been planning for ma (Bobby’s Mom). Bobby and I are taking care of the ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, cake, ice cream and all the paper goods… but we’ve made this pot luck luncheon so everyone can bring their special dish and not leave all the cooking on us, which would be hard for us to prepare. We’ve rented a hall in her little town for this event where there is a refrigerator, stove and such so we should be able to pull this off without a hitch. This is working out really well and looks like we are going to have such a yummy meal with what the others have signed up to bring.

The really cool thing is that while visiting with ma last year she had her address book out when I offered to type everything up nice and neat for her as well as make the font large so that she could read without a struggle. Bobby and I were already planning to have a surprise 80th birthday party for her so that address book came in handy. We hope to make this a special day for her and hope her day is as special as she is.
