well again and glad


We finally got to celebrate David's birthday.
It was better late than never,
here's why...
The flu!

Archie started the great fall.
Then Harry and Gus went down,
then Walt.
All four boys sick with the dreaded malady.
David called his home an infirmary.
They were really so sick.
Lots of prayer,
Erika's nursing,
Granddaddy's chicken soup,
then, after a week....
the word went out that they were starting to get better.

In fact,
the flu epidemic got so bad,
that their school had to shut it's doors on Thursday and Friday of last week. 
Never seen anything like it.
Lucy and her mom and dad stayed well.
So thankful for that!!

So David's birthday felt like a real celebration for everyone.
We had steak, 
hash brown casserole, 
and David's famous romaine salad.
I made a chocolate surprise, and we partied until late in the night.
Well, it really wasn't that late,
but it just felt so good that everyone was well again.
