Happy Birthday!
Well, today is the big one….60! Somehow I don’t think people will belief the ‘29’
line anymore. Right off, Socorro knocked on the door with a dozen yellow
roses. What a beautiful bouquet! For me, it was a busy start because it was my
first day to teach in the summer course.
It is hard to learn so many new vocabulary words in one day. I taught a hands on science class and it is
not my everyday choice of words. We had
15 for the morning and I think I kept everyone busy with lots of
experiments. The Juayua group is on the
younger side, ages 9 to 12, so I think they liked doing things and
competitions. Dwaine helped me keep things
moving handing out items, serving refreshments and helping with group
activities. After lunch I went to
Socorro’s. She was available today and
we got a good start into Que Dice la Biblia.
We did a round of pick ups for church and had a good turnout. Dwaine taught about the book of Judges. At the end, Alba and Linda put together a surprise
birthday gathering with a cake and piñata.
Whew, I got my own princess piñata!
It was all delightful and I enjoyed the fellowship. When I got home, Dwaine had invited a few
friends to come by and I was on for the second surprise and another cake! Yikes!
We didn’t cut it because we just finished the other cake. Through the day I had the delight of talking
to each of the children, my dad and stepmom and Sharon, a dear friend in
Huntsville. It is blessing to have
family and that made my birthday really great!
