I’m joining in once again with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story to share the blessings of the week.
1. Timothy’s birthday! My grandson turned 10 this week! Double digits!
He wanted a banana split pie instead of cake, and Mittu made a gorgeous and tasty one. And he also wanted a Buc-cee’s themed party. He loves that place, which, if you don’t know, is basically a gas station that advertises the cleanest bathrooms ever, but also is something like a mini mall. I guess a lot of other people like it as a party theme, too, because there were party plates and decorations with Buc-cee the beaver all over them. 🙂
2. Play and dinner. The school associated with our church was putting on a play of Winnie the Pooh and invited the church folks to come for a free showing of their last dress rehearsal Tuesday afternoon.
3. Dinner out. After the play, we tried out a new Mexican food restaurant. We hadn’t actually eaten in a restaurant in a long time: we usually get takeout to bring home. It was really noisy, but otherwise enjoyable.
4. A rediscovered turntable. We have our medications in a corner cabinet in the kitchen. There’s a lot more storage on either side of the cabinet door, but it’s hard to get to. So we have Lazy Susan turntables on one shelf for our prescription medications. The shelf below has nonprescription medicines and supplements, and we were getting so many that I was frustrated having to move containers around to find what I needed. Then I remembered I had tucked away in the pantry a turntable I had bought for another cabinet but which was too big to fit there. Thankfully, I hadn’t given it away yet, and it worked perfectly for the stray medications.
5. Tooth removal recovery. Last Friday I had just had a problem tooth removed. I was envisioning chipmunk cheeks, living on broth and applesauce, and constant pain. It did hurt, and I was on soft foods and Tylenol for a few days. But it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. It’s still a little tender, but thankfully, there have been no complications.
And that wraps up another week! I hope yours has been enjoyable, too.
Stray Thoughts 
Happy Birthday to Timothy! Wow 10! That’s great that you got to see the Winnie the Pooh play.
A turn table? I’d never thought of that. I have a couple places I could use one of those.
I’m glad the tooth extraction is over for you. They aren’t pleasant.
Timothy’s birthday pie looks wonderful! And delicious.
Oh goodness! Has it been that long?! I remember when Timothy was born. That’s crazy! LOL! I’m glad your tooth removal didn’t go as you expected. I tend to do that too… I don’t like dentists.
I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
That’s a fun theme for Timothy’s 10th! We don’t have Buc-cee’s this side of the country and more’s the pity. Timothy looks pretty tall in that shot with the Pooh background.
Nice to be out with your family and try out a new restaurant, too.
Oh, what a brilliant idea for sorting medications and supplements! I’m going to look for a low-profile one for the pile that lives above my microwave.
So glad you have recovered well from surgery and that both it and recovery are behind you!
Praise God your tooth extraction went well and you were able to cope for a few days of discomfort.
Happy double digits to Timothy!! I remember when you announced his birth! He’s handsome and TALL!
Love the idea of a play and then dinner out. Why are Mexican restaurants always so noisy?! I’ve been to 3 here in our area and every single one was so loud I could barely hear my husband or friends. hahah
I hope you have a wonderful weekend enjoying some spring sunshine and flowers.
Can’t believe how quickly Timothy is growing up! The Pooh set looks cute. Yay for a smooth recovery and return to regular eating!
Happy Birthday to Timothy! It has been fun to watch him growing up over the years on your blog. Winnie the Pooh was a favorite in this house. How fun to go watch him in the play. Glad you had a good recovery from the tooth removal.
I am glad your tooth extraction went as well as it did. Definitely a fave to have it DONE.
Happy Tenth Birthday to Timothy! I remember when he was born! Can it really be ten years? He looks so grown up.
Have a good week!
Happy Birthday to Timothy ! My goodness has he grown ! He looks much older then 10 ! When I think all the worries you had when he was born ! And now he is nearly a handsome man ! Toby will be 14 in November and starts to have a deep voice ! When I heard him on the phone I was shocked ! It’s really strange when that happens ! He becomes a Teenager now and first sign …. long hairs ! The birthday “cake” looks delicious !
