Day 2,383

Thankful for: 

Time with family. 

Armando came over to help Matt with my car, so I was able to make another mini birthday party for Patty today. 

We had deli meat sandwiches and chips and a lovely cake from Wegman's. 

The men worked on the car, the kids played video games, and Patty and I watched tv, we slept, and then we dropped off tile at her new house. 

It was a quiet, rainy, lovey day. 

I crocheted today. 

We had an easy dinner. 

Tomorrow is a new day.
