It has been a better day!

Little Joe is much better and almost back to his sunny self. I am so relieved- I too feel much better, and I think that Jacob is also on the mend.
Last night, the Gentle Giant took Eli to a baseball game. The tickets were given to us from Nanamee, and although there were enough for Becky to go too, she stayed home with Little Joe-WHAT A FABULOUS MAMA! Becky is a die hard Astros fan, and the opportunity to go to a game for free was miserably hard to pass up. She wanted to go so badly, but Little Joe was feeling so bad, and so she stayed with him. Cudos to Becky. PaPa and Eli went though, and even though their seats were far up in the center field area, attendance was light and they were able to go down and sit on the seats in the front row of their area. Eli had so much fun, and so many goodies! He got a snowcone, a pretzel, some candy and some chips. Papa never tells the little ones that they have to be gastronomically responsible, matter of fact, his mantra is, "sugar 'em up and ship 'em home"! On the way back to the car, they crossed Polk street, and PaPa poked Eli saying, "we are crossing Poke street, and I get to poke you!" Eli told Papa that he hoped they would cross kick street next so that he could get PaPa back! The Astros lost, but that doesn't matter, the memory will never be lost!
Whoo-Hoo, my bread is selling! I know that it is not much money, but my little bread piggy bank is getting full! I will have to bake again tomorrow, as some of my customers are wanting more, sooner! It is so fullfilling to me to be able to use my talents in such a way- and, the berries are on the vines now, and will be for the next 6 weeks, so it is time to pick dewberries for jelly! On top of that, as usual, Heavenly Father has provided for me, and I found sugar for .99 a bag at a local store, and will price match it at Walmart. I will be able to get all the sugar I need for jelly season at a price for much less than I had budgeted for. Matter of fact, the price difference will allow me to get the pectin for the jelly for free! I am so tickled.
Nanamee came for dinner, along with Aunt Cheryl, Gail, Becky and Joe. I can't tell you how much I love being surrounded by my family. It is something I could not have imagined years ago. As I offered grace, my voice got thick and my eyes teared up just thinking about all the blessings I have. I am going to bed early, another whoo-hoo for me. Well, more tomorrow, and love to all.
