What a fun weekend with the Dingles (pics to come)! I planned to pick Lisa and Ali (who turns 5 this month) from BWI on Friday morning and then drive to Mom and Dad's. On Wednesday, Lisa decided she just had to bring Ryan too (but didn't tell Mom)! So what a surprise when Pop-pop went out to get Lisa's luggage from the car and came back in with Ryan in his arms! Needless to say, the grandkids provided lots of smiles! We cracked up every time Ryan chased Missy around and used her as a pillow! Ali was quite the photographer and got lots of great shots with Aunt Lori and Uncle Dave's camera!
Mom's appetite has been pretty good. She made an Oklahoma Coconut Cake on Thursday, and it was soooo good...excellent recipe!!! A chocolate cake had been brought to them as well as two pies from Lancaster so we certainly enjoyed our desserts! Dad made some more Shepherd's Pie (see Feb. 8 post) and perfected his recipe by using only ONE can of gravy and added some peas and corn too! :-)
On Wednesday, Mom and Dad went to Rehoboth and got her wig trimmed. They also went to Nicola's and had lunch there....first meal OUT since before Christmas so that was a treat. Also, Mom and Dad went to Hocker's together on Thursday (Mom's first time at the grocery store in a long time) so it's a blessing for her to be able to do some of these everyday things again.
Mom and Dad are a part of Mariner's Bethel United Methodist Church in Ocean View. So many people from their church have been praying and showing support with visits and meals. Last week, their Sunday school class gave them a gift card to Royal Farm to help with the cost of the gas needed to go back and forth to Hopkins...so thoughtful...what a blessing that is!
Praises:
~safe traveling for Lisa, Ali, and Ryan
~Mom's appetite
~Mom feeling like being out of the house last week
~meals that are continuing to come (thank you to all the readers who have brought one)
Praying that:
~Mom would feel peace about her next treatment coming up in a week (March 9)
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
~We would all remember and hold true to: "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." (Mark 10:27)
