Celebrated my birthday on Wednesday, July 6, by making biscuits, gravy and scrambled eggs. Stephen and Jon were here to enjoy them, as well. Jon said he had forgotten how much better they are than the Bisquick kind. No doubt about that!
After lunch we met with Harry and Claudia Washington of DUE Studio. They are two well-known furniture designers here in El Salvador. They graciously agreed to spend time talking to Jon (and us) about how they started their business, how they got discovered and about the projects they are working on at this time. They spent 3 hours answering Jon's questions. Once again I am amazed by the friendliness and genuine warmth of the Salvadoran people! I've included a picture of the 5 of us after we had coffee at Viva Express.
Stephen had band practice at 6:00, so Jon and I picked up Kevin and went to Pollos Real. Jon wanted pupusas one more time and Kevin wanted another chance to visit with Jon. We took him home and then went to church to pick up Stephen. We stopped at Chili's for my real "birthday" dinner.
Daniel and Shannon scanned and sent me a "birthday card" from Maleia! I received 100's of FB birthday greetings--such fun to to hear from friends, many of them missionaries, all over the globe . . . Krista in Austria, Petra in Croatia, Carrie in England, Debbie and Donna in Mexico, Janet in Canada, Esther in Costa Rica, Ana in Guatemala, Oswaldo in Nicaragua (to name a few) . . . as well as old and new friends all over the US and El Salvador.
It was a great birthday and I appreciate every note, phone call and prayer! Thanks to each and every one of you for sharing my birthday!
