After school yesterday, we enjoyed the traditional first-day-of-spring free water ice at Rita’s Water Ice! Rita’s all around our area were packed with happy faces waiting in line for their favorite flavors of Italian water ice…FREE!

This past week was full of festivities as Jim and I celebrate our birthdays each year just two days apart. It is always a fun week of March celebrating with precious family and being remembered in beautiful ways by wonderful friends. We were treated to and enjoyed delicious meals (a few too many!) and made many special memories with the kids. We are so thankful for all of the Lord’s blessings.

Aunt Anne kicked up her heals with her Irish dancing team in the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade last Sunday!

We are enjoying the afterglow of a week blessed bountifully by the Lord. Our hearts are thankful to Him.
