The picture above is of my mother enjoying a blueberry muffin at lunch yesterday.
Mom is truly a remarkable woman. She developed macular degeneration more than 20 years ago and has been legally blind for most of the time since. But most people meeting her would never know that.
She and Dad had gotten along quite well until several months ago when Dad was diagnosed with macular degeneration. He, too, is now legally blind.
They now have to rely on members of their church to get them around. Yesterday a church member took them to the doctor and then to their Bible study. After the Bible study our good friends Judy and Charlie picked up Mom and Dad and took them to lunch.
Charlie took this picture of Mom with her blueberry muffin. It looks as if all’s right with the world.

I wish you could have seen her with that muffin. She was still eating some of it in the car going home. I think we will take them back there or maybe we can all go next Thursday when you guys come. We are the ones who get the blessings when we hang around with them.
