It’s fun to go looking for pictures. I have some, but not usually great ones–ten people around a birthday cake, not of specific faces. This one above I saw was dated 2007. 2007! You people look exactly the same. Thank you for another wonderful year of happiness and fun. Thanks for your kindness most of […]

Here we have some party guests eating supper. It was quieter out here. While the person opens gifts, the little ones get closer and closer until they’re all right up touching. They raided the costume bins. That tiger one is really heavy and hot, but he liked it anyway. Joe gave haircuts on the

A plan was hatched to meet out at the university and have supper at the legendary Chinese buffet. When the kids heard what the dad and I were planning, they wanted to all come too. All you can eat? Okay. It was a lot of fun and Jay, I was so glad to be able to have supper with
It started out Friday night with the band concert at school, the Pops Concert. This is a great, fun night, popcorn and pop music. It’s a long concert, runs until late in the evening, perfect on a Friday night. Well, except Lydia complained that they played Led Zeppelin for twenty minutes and then butchered Bohemian Rhapsody. I
