It was a great birthday weekend! First the party yesterday and then the one today–so many friends and so much fun. That puppy was funny. In the basement she grabbed something we thought was a TV remote, but then we heard the people upstairs say, “June! Where did you get a harmonica?” The meal was […]
This is Katie’s picture of Lilo. Oh my goodness. The ceiling is almost finished. We found about half of the trim for the edges had been saved in the ceiling beams of the basement. And Maria brought fabric and binding to be made into blankets. They turned out very cute. And now we are at the

Today was the funeral. Nobody ever wanted to face this day, but there was no choice. It was a beautiful Catholic mass in the sunny old church nearby, same one where Dan and Alicia were married. So many loved ones and friends gathered in the snowy evening last night and in the sunshine today. Safe

The day before they had baked eight batches of cupcakes, all the same chocolate birthday cake flavor, but only one of the batches used eggs like the recipe called for. The other batches were made with different substitutions for
