We celebrated Ryan’s
birthday with 2 other mission families at a newly opened pool 20 minutes from our
house. The owners let us have it all to
ourselves and they cooked us a fabulous lunch.
It is amazing to me that in the middle of nowhere, in a small colonia,
off the red clay road there is a beautiful, clean, shaded oasis from the heat.
It was a great day....a
great birthday....and great memories were made.
fabulous lunch
Volley ball – one of
Ryan’s favorite sports. He’s getting
pretty good at it too. He and Jeff make
a great (competitive) team.
For his birthday dessert
Ryan requested one of his favorites - Mrs. Christie’s Guava Pie. He’s only ever had it at her house but each
time he does I hear about it and he asks me to get to the recipe. Little does he know that I have had the
recipe since the first time he bragged about how good it tasted 4 years ago. I just have never made it (guess I’m just
more of a chocolate pie maker myself).
But what’s even better than asking mom to make Mrs. Christie’s pie? having Mrs. Christie make Mrs. Christie’s
pie, of course. And that’s just the sort
of wonderful teammates we have. Mrs.
Christie volunteered to bake it and boy was Ryan happy.
