John and Anthea invited us over in honor of Ted's birthday. Frances came on Friday as she planned to spend Ted's birthday with a friend of hers who has been diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Her friend will have round 2 of chemo this week at her home. Such a tough diagnosis for her friend and her friend's family. My heart goes out to them. Frances has already lost two family members to cancer. This is going to be so difficult for everyone.
Frances had to go back Saturday for a rehearsal, and then we went to Frances's concert Saturday night. It was really very, very enjoyable.
I made Ted's favorite: Mother Poppel's poppyseed cake. I drove over to John's while Ted worked on a presentation for a client. (what I'm going to do as soon as I finish this blog update.) We had a nice lunch, a nice hike in Burleigh-Murray Ranch State Park, a nice game of Apples to Apples, a nice drive home, and a nice birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I erased the picture of Ted and his cake. Boo hoo!
One more memorable event of Ted's bday. I woke up with a cold. My first of the winter.
