Tomorrow is Sheila's birthday.  Some of the kids came by tonight and started giving the gift that they promised.  Robert turned on the water to the sprinklers and he and Richard dug out a rose bush by the waterfall that she wanted to get rid of.  Kathy and Cicily helped clean up after the mess the pone cleaners left yesterday.  The grand kids helped by testing out the stream and Cicily took pictures.  I gave my supervisory approval and held Jonah for about a minute before Kathy took over.  They were here and then they were gone.  It was a nice visit because it was short and productive and really helped Sheila check off some tasks from her list.  I am not planning anything particular for her birthday tomorrow.  There is a Relief Society dinner that I want her to attend.  (She wants to go too.)  Then we will go out to dinner on Friday, but something special, well, I'm not good at that.  She is used to it by now too.  We just have fun and enjoy each day that we can be together.  Being old, well, we have done pretty much what we wanted to, and we are pretty tired.  But the thing is that we enjoy simple stuff.  Just being together is really nice. And if we have something interesting to talk about it gets really, really nice.  Having the family here doing stuff for her is really, really, really nice.  Get the picture!
