Jan 9/2023. Started with a busy Monday shipping orders thanks to our hard working shop team getting 490 orders on trucks! (Photos in reverse order) Had lunch with Francie and Maisie and they did school work and reorganized their study since in my office then picked up JJ and Tess from school to hear all the funny stories from elementary and junior high days. Oh there are some good ones! Last minute made the decision to jump in my car and drive down south to my parents (6 hours) because my goddaughter/cousin Claire Elise (also my mother in laws name, same spelling) is in labor with her first baby! Made it to the familiar sights of home by 9:15pm. Surprised the heck out of them walking in unannounced! DoorDash sushi waiting for me and Grampery popped the champagne. Sat up with my aunt Mimi and uncle Andy (Claire’s parents/Jannie’s baby sister) until 2am talking and getting baby updates. It’s a surprise so “it’s a girl!” AND “it’s a boy!” stickers for the See’s candy sucker are awaiting the news as we all are. Going to bed with prayers for a speedy and healthy delivery for Claire and Stevie very soon! 💖💙
