On Saturday night, Karah and Travis, Lauren's friends from Chapel Hill came to visit. Karah and Travis are getting married in May, and during my picking times, I have been gathering old milk bottles and blue jars for them to use for decorations. They will be married in the mountains of North Carolina and it was grand hearing all of their plans.
On Sunday, my mother came and we all went to church together then came home and fixed a wonderful meal. Mom brought chicken and we made chicken pastry, candied yams, butterbeans, and her fine oven corn bread!
Rest of the time was spent catching up, looking at old photos and enjoying the beautiful weather. We did see several bursts of pollen. While eating lunch on Sunday, we could see the pine tree in our back yard and as a light breeze would blow, the limbs would just "explode" with a yellow pollen cloud. I have seen pollen before, but I think this year was the most extreme.
Mom spent the night with us and Monday was our anniversary #35. John and I were married at the WRAL-TV Azalea Gardens in Raleigh at 2 p.m. in a small family ceremony, then off we went to Montego Bay, Jamaica. The wind was blowing that day too, but it was beautiful and the azaleas were in full bloom. Seems like only yesterday, how time flies.
John brought flowers home Monday, for our anniversary and put them on the table outside. They are beautiful. Instead of a card, the pollen was so deep on the glass, he easily wrote, "Happy Anniversary".
But, back to the real world. Lauren went with me to my chemo treatment Monday morning and it was so nice to have her with me for a while.
