Got so lazy again, just heard two online masses morning and afternoon, loaded the washing machine and cooked spaghetti for lunch. Haha, that’s how my day went. I didn’t even visit the garden. My plants are probably good for two more days without watering.
Aside from the surprise bouquet that Nissa sent me on my birthday, she gave me additional gifts when they came over last Saturday. Wow, two lovely sets of pajama and these two equally lovely washable face masks with eyelet designs but were provided with inner pockets for additional padding.
Nissa is so thoughtful when it comes to giving gifts. Attached to the gifts is a homemade card from Nate. I was touched. He filled my Messenger with emoticons/emojis on my birthday – flowers, hearts, smileys, praying hand, a girl running. Maybe he does not know yet how to type his greetings hence, the more than twenty emojis on my wall.
I remember when Josef and Nissa were Nate’s age. They always had surprise letters and drawings when we got home from work. They are still kept in my shoe box.
The joy of being remembered…priceless 🙂
Nice to get the gifts, and even nicer to get that home-made card from Nate that I am sure you will always treasure.
Best wishes, Pete.

We are doing good, thanks. We have another typhoon coming, the 21st so far this year.

This has been the year of serious tropical storms all over the world. I hope the typhoon spares you and your country men. Floods are so devastating and difficult to recover from. Be safe Arlene!

That is so true, perhaps you’ve heard of the whole province of Cagayan submerged in water.

Yes, I did see some frightening images of homes submerged in floodwaters up to their roofs. What a tragedy! Please take good care of yourself and your family. I hope Nate and his parents are safe as well.
