A Time to Celebrate

This past Wednesday night we had the honor to be in Santa Maria to surprise Bro. Rick Keyes along w/ the Hills, the Garcia's, Elder Sis. Keyes & the Keyes son Ronny for his birthday! The church put together a wonderful service for him. He had no idea this was planned & it turned out to be a great surprise! I did not take pictures but hoping to get some from those who did...camera lights were flashing everywhere!:)

Some of you may not know this, but Tim took a bad fall last Saturday & has been on crutches ever since. But that wasn't going to stop him from going to Santa Maria...lol. The timing of this couldn't be more awful. It being Resurrection Weekend, then Youth Convention & the following Monday he is to fly out to the Philippines. So please pray, his ankle has to heal!:)

Following Bro. Keyes birthday is my Grandma's birthday, today April 10 is her birthday. So, we went to see her & Mom made sandwiches & tea. We shared fun stories & brought new flowers that she had planted in her garden. It's amazing how we are still being blessed by her.
Have a wonderful weekend w/ family & friends. Wishing you a great Resurrection Sunday! What a Sunday to celebrate!

~Susan, it was a blast getting altogether like that...that was a first for us & what fun!!! We did make it home but not in enough time for Tim to make it...his ankle was to swollen & traffic had turned into a nightmare. lol Still...had a great time!:)
