Here’s the cake, ready to go. Julia and Kari asked me if they could decorate it. I said sure. They asked if they could put toys on it. Again sure, just wash them first–soap and water and dry them off well. First they placed that old 80’s wrestler dude on there. Whaaaat? They had […]

We’re having a big party next week, but tonight was just quick hamburgers on the grill, salad by Dad, and a cake baked by Joe–red velvet with sprinkles. It was pretty fun. After the State Fair trip the kids did yesterday and my being tired after work, it was a pretty tame evening.

Okay, James’ dearest friend is heading off to boarding school next Saturday. It’s a lovely school in somewhere fancy-sounding, like Connecticut, a huge opportunity. They don’t much care about that right now. Anyway, tonight his family held a going-away party for him. It was a beautiful occasion, wistful and hopeful and lovely. He played the

Here are a few characters on the living room couch. And this gorgeous little guy was across the room. Down in the lego/barbie disaster room. Oh, and the fabulous car–Joe’s brother is in the military. He has income and a cute niece (yes, p.j.) he rarely sees, except in pictures. He had this car sent

First we started out the birthday with a haircut. Lookin’ good, Buddy. Then some nephews came for lunch. This one is so cute and bald, sometimes I call him Mr. Luminous. It suits him. He definitely lights up a room. Her, she’s just funny. Unlike the hot summer evening when Tim was actually born, it
Oh, so we have updated the phones and phone plan from years ago, and it was painful, but it’s done now. And tonight we attempted, three weeks later, to track down where the photos are. The phone photos. The resolution on some is a bit terrible. That’s Tim and me on a path at my

Friday night we headed to the lake after a wild week of Vacation Bible School. Not gonna lie–my nerves were shot. My parents came on Saturday, and they’re easy-going company. It also happened we had no small children at the lake–no grandkids at all. Only our own kids, and teenaged friends were along. It was

That was our Thursday. My Sweetie came with me back home again after we left the others at Vacation Bible School. He brought Lunchables and juice boxes and apples for himself and p.j. for lunch. Then he had Dannell buy a bag of puff corn for me because I love it. I do love it,
