Psalm 78:5-8
For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded the fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children, that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments; And may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set it's heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

How Many Candles?????

Jun 10th, 2010 by | 2

Home for a long weekend, we were able to celebrate Rick’s birthday as a family…….ALL TOGETHER!  The first family birthday in 9 months in which we’ve all been together.

Rick is a pie kind of guy so we made several pies while he was home, almost hitting all of his favorite pies.  Fresh picked peach-raspberry crisp, lemon meringue, apple w/nuts, apple w/o nuts, strawberry-rhubarb, strawberry lemonade pie, and the best new pie was german chocolate pie.  We made that one twice.  I’ll have to post that recipe separately for y’all.  It really was quite divine ; )  We never did get to the coconut cream pie.  That one will have to be his welcome home pie in July.

Then, at another gathering with several families in attendance, we surprised him with his one favorite cake, a quadruple layered Italian Cream Cake.  This was the result of that surprise:

And then we had a handful of families out to Plymouth Rock Ranch on Memorial Day to celebrate again.

We did manage to fit a few small projects into all of the celebrating while Rick was home.  We are thankful to have a few less extension cords crisscrossing our floor with a little more hard wiring in place.  Yippee!!  Sure makes for easier sweeping ; )

We had fun planning how to make Rick’s long birthday weekend home special.  And we appreciate all those who helped us to make it special with both the surprise and non-surprise parties.

Happy 52nd Birthday, dh and daddy!

    Hi Laralee – Pete turned 52 this year too. Hard to believe we’re married to “old” men, isn’t it.
