Received a call from Leslie this morning wishing me a Happy Birthday. She and Pete gave me my gift early before we left for Arizona. She knew I had an appointment for a manicure and pedicure and made a special trip to the nail salon and left a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me and paid for my manicure and pedicure. They are so thoughtful and so is my other daughter, Taylor. I could not ask for better daughters than what God has blessed me with.
Leslie said they were having some problems with Oliver sleeping and that he was up a lot during the night. She thinks he is having some problems with colic. She talked to the pediatrician about it and she thinks she needs to cut some of her dairy intake from her diet. She says Oliver has days that all he wants to do is nurse which has to wear her out. He is gaining weight pretty rapidly now so I assume he is just growing. She said he weighs 10.2 lbs, I believe.
Judy and Jan asked me to go garage sale shopping this morning so I walked over to meet them at 8:00. We went down Frontage Rd to the church where they normally have the Wednesday Flea market. When we got there we could not find a place to park as I believe the whole town of Yuma was there already. It was a huge garage sale but mostly the normal junk. I did buy some extra stainless steel spoons for the RV as we seem to only have two. I have no idea where the others have disappeared. I also bought a clock and a couple of sharp knives for the RV. Jan found some more custard cups to go with the 3 she bought at the sale we went to last week. Pat, Judy and Jan's sister, John her husband and the boy they keep were there so we found them and all looked for awhile longer. There was basically nothing else that I felt I couldn't live without.
We came back to the park and had coffee with Evelyn, who is our neighbor and Pat and John. Judy, Jan and Ken gave me a cute birthday card and also Pat and John. I received two birthday cards from Taylor, Kyle and the girls and also two valentines that the girls made for me. Taylor and Kyle also sent me a gift card for Red Lobster, which I always enjoy!! I received a birthday card from Jerry and Jan Twedell as well. I couldn't get anything done most of day because someone was posting birthday wishes on Facebook. I think I had over 80 birthday wishes posted. It's amazing to realize how many wonderful friends and relatives I have.
Larry and I went over to the outdoor Flea Market for awhile this afternoon. He bought some shoes to wear inside and some electrical things to try to fix our electric cooler. The connecter on the cooler melted and it no longer works on power. We have been having to keep ice in it for the beer. The Flea Market never changes--same vendors with the same merchandise. After so many trips there over the years it becoming very boring. We sat down and had a beer and listened to the music for awhile and headed home.
Gordon and Brenda came over for drinks and a visit. They will be leaving on Monday of next week. We will miss them as we've enjoyed getting to know them. They are going to Las Vegas for a few days before heading home.
When we came inside it was getting late again for dinner. We ended up having soup and sandwiches for dinner.
