What???? ME 30 years old!!!!!!!!
I am on a Mini vacation for a few days. Mom came down on Oct / 22 and
will leave again on Oct / 25. We are staying at BRIC here in Port.
We are really enjoying our time together.
She brought me a card from my “twin”. When I opened it I found that Michelle has sent me a copy of 2 pictures that were taken at our first birthday party.
On my birthday Mom and I had the fun of just spending the day being driven all over Port-a-Prince just looking at “Haiti” and Mom got to take some pictures that she has wanted for a long time. When she was down here in 2000 she
did not get to see “town” so that is what she wanted to do this time.
We did do some SHOPPING!!!!!
Some of it was for things that I need in Soliette but we did buy fabric so we can make look a like dresses when I get back to the states.
We ate lunch in an open air restaurant. The food was really good.
Rice and beans, fried chicken, and banans. Then a few hours later we got ice cream. O while we at the place we got the ice cream the other two people with me disided that they NEEDED to sing “Happy Birthday” to me.
Thanks so much to one of my friends for his willingness to drive us around town.
He is also the one that took me to get Mom from the airport and He will be coming in the morning to take me to the dentist (I know what a fun way to end a mini vacation) and then we will drop Mom off at the airport at around 2 PM.
Mom and Me at my Birthday supper…………..
(Juanita does this look like what we would do or what???)
English Peas, Potatoes with sour cream dressing, and Moms meat loaf.
Talk about some GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been a lot of fun having Mom here. She was able to bring things down that I really needed as well as she was able to bring things to make my 30th birthday special. The time has gone WAY to fast but we knew it would.
Thanks so each of you for your prayer support. God Bless you all.
Love – Elizabeth

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! Welcome to the wonderful 30′s decade.
Singing … A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. MAY YOU FIND JESUS NEAR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. A HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU, A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, AND THE BEST THAT YOU EVER HAD! Thirty years ago found your Mom in the Abbeville hospital , you were taken to the Greenville hospital and your Dad was driving between the 2 hospitals so he could see you both. So glad you had family with you on this special day. God’s special blessings to you as you continue answering His call on your life. Love you, Aunt Betsy
Hey, I got a call from someone from Foothills wanting information on sponsering a child. They said they were so impacted by what you had to share and felt like they had to reach out and help in some way. Have a awesome week.
