Finally recovered from our wonderful trip to the Bahamas but would have enjoyed some warmer weather when we returned. We did get our garden planted with the exception of 4 more rows of corn that we will attempt to plant in between rain showers sometime this week.
May 7th is Lily's birthday and this year she turned 6. Andy was not up to a long road trip so I found another willing and wonderful travel companion, Evelyn. I picked her up from daycare on Wednesday and early on Thursday morning, 6:15 am, we began our "Road Trip" to Luke & Lily's house 524 miles due east. Evie is a great traveler, better than many adults and 3 movies, 2 coloring pages and 9 hours later we got to Aunt Trish's house just in time to meet Luke and Lily at the bus stop.

Unfortunately, Dover was getting a lot of rain while we were there and the fireworks and most of the Dover Days activities were cancelled but the sun did come out on Lily's birthday so the backyard party was a smashing hit!

Mother's Day was the first full day of sunshine in Dover for several weeks and we took full advantage of this wonderful day. Trish and Chad had made reservations at Bonz, a brunch buffet in Harrington and after our delicious meal we drove on down to Rehobeth Beach. As luck would have it, this was the opening weekend for Funland. Beach and rides!! It just doesn't get any better if you are under the age of 10 and over the age of 60!

| Happy Birthday, Lily |
Our celebration continued with a quick game of Pie in the Face when we returned home.
On Monday morning it was back to school for Luke and Lily and on the road for Mamaw and Evie. And the happiest little guy was waiting for us when we pulled into our driveway. Thanks, Evie for a wonderful trip!
