The kids were having fun playing, and had a cool bubbles maker :) Holly and i were texting eachother :) Mikey opened his gifts, he got some nice cards, gift cards, a golf club set, he also got money, and other cool toys, gifts :) Holly and i gave Mikey a birthday card, with $20 :) he had fun opening his birthday gifts :) Mike had some burgers, and hotdogs cooking on the grill there :) mohegan park has some nice grills :) i was doing ok, i felt more relaxed, as time was going on :) There were other people at the park, and were walking around :) it's a huge park :) Mike asked me if i wanted a cheeseburger :)

Hi Chris and Holly so glad all went well at the party for Mikey. It is great that you were relaxed and able to enjoy the party.

Your garden is amazing. The corn we canned yesterday is delicious. I kept six ears out and we had corn on the cob for dinner last night. So at least I know it is good. I have some left so I will cut it off the cob and freeze it. It is good frozen as well as canned.

The kitty you and Holly adopted is so cute. I know you will enjoy having it as part of your family. Pets are so much company.

Have a great Wednesday.

Hugs
Debbie and John
