Just got a call from Alex. He and Don are in Birmingham for the follow-up visit for his eye surgery. All is well. He has 20/30 vision in one eye and 20/40 vision in the other. They made glasses while he was there to take care of his double vision. He is on the way home now. A miracle, I tell you. 2 weeks ago he was legally blind…and today he is seeing everything! God is good!

Next, on June 1, Adam, my oldest, has an appt. with this same doctor. He has extremely poor vision also. Not as bad as Alex’s, but very poor. He is excited as well. This will be such a help to him and his work as a photographer.

I imagine that this doctor is going to be building a new house this year courtesy of the Owens’ family! Or at least taking a long vacation somewhere exotic!

I had all my friends from school over for a pool party on Friday. It was rainy and cool…so mostly we just gazed at the pool…but, fun was had anyway. Here is the food…before we dug in. Thanks to my sister, Joy, it all came together like I planned.

“Hey…where did everybody go?”

Even though it was dreary outside, it was a sunny and warm inside. Friendship has a way of doing that, doesn’t it? It brightens up dreary days, and drowns out the ‘thunder’ of life, and brings sunshine to the soul! These girls have brought ‘sunshine’ to my life and I hold them all in my heart. Let’s do this again…SOON!
