BIRTHDAY/MOTHER'S DAY

Sunday was both Mother's Day and our grandson's birthday. Last year 2 weddings in 2 cities for relatives from both my son's and daughter-in-law's sides of the family were thrown in. In comparison this year was calm. We stopped in on Saturday afternoon on our way back from South Carolina and so celebrated the birthday both Saturday night and Sunday morning and Mother's Day Sunday morning. We had not seen the grandkids for about a month and a half. It was great to see them. Gifts for 9 year old boys include an NBA game for the Wii and an i-pod shuffle with his name engraved. They grow up so fast. We were going to stop in and see the in-laws but my sister-in-law and husband were there and we got to Findlay right around their mealtime and therefore did not stop in. My mother-in-law had been doing very well and seemed to be enjoying her new life style in assisted living. However a late phone call last night and one at 5:30am this morning somewhat dispelled that since she has been admitted to the hospital to see if she has had a minor stroke. Hopefully it will not turn out to be severe.
