Jenna has never appreciated having her birthday fall on Conference weekend. Often Conference has not been the factor for postponing or cancelling her birthday - but rather the weather has played a part on activities held.
Last year was nice and she had met up with a friend and went on an Easter egg hunt downtown. She enjoyed his company and enjoyed the day. Yesterday she had also met up with friends for a small gathering. They met at a table at the park. Originally she had scheduled an indoor activity on April Fool's day but realized that more guests had been invited than what she had planned and felt our back room might not be large enough to hold them all.
It was a lot cooler yesterday than last year or the year before. As I recall, the weather was quite awesome on her 16th birthday - but it was 2020 - a unique problem by itself. That was the year that Archer was born. We were able to see him just ten days ago. Jaime would sing the song "We are the Dinosaurs" to him and so I ordered Laurie Berkner's "Whatdaya think of that?" after we had returned home and sent that to him - though it won't arrive until after his birthday.
For Jaime's birthday, Richard had made a card featuring Hamilton
On the inside he had included a ten dollar bill which he folded to pass off as a wallet size picture
and for Archer he had made a card featuring a Two-Rex.
I am grateful that Conference is recorded and I can refer to the talks more times than just the live session. My thumb still hurts from Valentine's Day and my handwriting has always been horrible as is. Throw the wounded thumb into the mixture . . . lets just say I will get more out of rewatching the talks than relying on my notes..
Tomorrow I will continue on with my spring break journey with Las Vegas and other parts of Nevada. Now going into the kitchen to have some of Jenna's (Jaime) favorite breakfast. That is French toast.
