Happy Birthday to Hazel Lea Acuff! 95 and still kicking.
Isaac got up early with Tiffany to bake a birthday cake, then we all had a piece before the DE Acuffs headed home. Buddy stopped by for a visit - he's looking poorly, in lots of pain, and having trouble sleeping. Tiny brought up a package sent from Mary V for Hazel - cheesecake and chocolate-covered strawberries shipped in an insulated box from California! Hazel enjoyed a huge strawberry, while we looked on and took photos for Mary V.
After the Michigan crew made a run into Jeff for Walmart and Sonic, Jerry and Tiny stopped by to bring a birthday card and more well-wishes. I made salmon cakes for dinner; Isaac eventually ate his (shaped like an elephant!) after a bit of struggle. Rest of evening devoted to cleaning up and prepacking for tomorrow's departure.
Hazel relayed a story that, when growing up, whenever they broke something in the house, she and her siblings would hide it from Momma under the house. The story came up when I dropped the electric griddle and broke its plastic legs - superglue to the rescue!
