What a day today was.....

The day started out early for me. I was up at 6 am to get ready to head to mystickal voyage for Dragon Coffee Klatch which I do on the 1st Sunday of every month. Today we talked about the pagan community and how we like to eat our own and how we attack each other in online forums. We also talked about energy and its finiteness, but how it is eternal. Very deep discussion and more then I care to get into here. It was a good Klatch today. Next month we are doing a debate Left Hand Path vs Right Hand Path. Should be a blast.

After that was over we celebrated my mothers birthday with our family. Got my mom a day pass from Gilchrist so she could be at her house. She wasn't doing very well. She slept most of the time waking on occasions to see who was there and to talk to some people. She did wake up long enough for us to sing happy birthday to her and blow out her candle on her cake. Well with my help, but she didn't know that. Here is what her cake looked like.



It was a strawberry short cake from Hermans bakery in Dundalk. My family for as long as I can remember has always gotten one of these (not this size most times) for birthdays. We will continue the tradition as long as Hermans is still around. If they aren't around any more I will just have to learn how to make them myself.

Everyone got to hold her hand today and she saw pretty much the entire family between today and Friday. It was a good day from that aspect, but not so good from the point of her health and activity level. She is just very tired and I'm really not sure why she is hanging in here. I don't ever want to her to away, but I also know it is time.

So we had cake, crabs, and shrimp for the party. I finally got my females for the 1st time in years and they were so worth it! The crabs and shrimp were wonderful!!!!!! You know we got them from Wise Ave. Crab house of course.

So got done at my mothers and went over to our daughters house to meet her new pet. It is a prairie dog. She is very cute. Here is a picture of her as it sits in my daughters lap.



It is very cute I have to admit. So we leave her house and are driving home and see an accident on the side of the road. Denise looks and says she thinks it is Amanda. Amanda is a friend of Ashley's. So we call Ashley to have her call Amanda to see where she is as we didn't have her number. Ashley then calls back and says it is her so I turn around to head back to check on her. She was taken to the hospital, but at the time of writing this she is home, battered and bruised, but the doctors say she is OK. She is a very, very lucky girl. Her tire blew out and she lost control and hit the guard rail. Very lucky girl! We are so glad she is OK. Ashley and Amanda have been together most of their life as friends. We all rush over to the hospital to make sure she was alright.

Now we are all home and it is time to decompress from the days events. It just never seems to be a dull moment in our lives. So night all and blog you tomorrow. Blessing!
