Today is the day my mom, younger sister Jen and my brother-in-law Jim came to town. Jim’s family lives in the same town and his sister was throwing a graduation party, so they stopped by for lunch. Then mom stayed with us while they went to the party. Since they’ve gotten their COVID vaccinations, we were finally able to visit inside. And HUG! I’m so grateful to see them and visit normally again.

I’m terrible at taking pictures of people when we are together, but I did get a picture of this massive cake mom made for us. Folks, it’s a 3-layer chocolate, peanut butter, and cheesecake monster, and I swear it weighed 20 pounds before we cut into it. It’s delicious and I’m prepared to gain weight over it.

And while she didn’t come with, my older sister Tammy sent along a tote filled with snacks for our upcoming road trip for my daughter’s wedding. She and my nieces included sweet cards as well. How perfect is this bag?! I’m lucky to have such a supportive family. I’ll start dieting when all my cancer stuff is over.
