This past weekend Jeremy went to Texas to honor his grandparent’s for their 60th wedding anniversary and to celebrate his sister’s graduating with her master’s degree. It was such a blessing to be able to send Jeremy to spend this special time with his family. He was even surprised to find that his life-long friend, John Mark, was in town. He was able to go see Star Trek on opening weekend! Another added blesing was that our dear friends from India, Vargis and Aleyamma, were in the States, as well. I hope that you made some special memories, dear! It was a joy to release you to go.
 
The kids and I stayed behind in Maryland and kept ourselves busy. I had two visits with Aunt Kari, getting crafts done and the kids enjoyed lots of outside time playing. Sunday morning we went to church and then headed to Baltimore to pick up Jeremy from the airport. Since it was Mother’s Day we made our way to Ikea to enjoy Swedish meatballs. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the adult meals for just $1 instead of $4.99! He presented me with a beautiful glass Texas flag and an oversized Texas Flag coffee mug. Both of these will remind me of the Mother’s Day I received my dear husband and a most welcome gift back from that far country, Texas.
