Okay, tonight Tim asked Maria and me about growing a coconut. We laughed and speculated if it’s anything like the avocado seeds Lydia is trying to sprout, this could take a looong time. The avocado experiment began when Dan and Alicia sent an avocado for b.g. to eat for lunch. The kids were interested in […]

Tonight I was working, so I told Kari to take some pictures of them cleaning up the back yard, so I wouldn’t miss everything. She obliged. After this, their dad took them on a bike ride, so that was good. Last night they were at a wedding–here are a couple cute pictures from that. Here

Here are a few pictures. These are pics of the soccer game. They don’t include the swearing that occurred. Though there

We are getting ready for Little Jay’s graduation party next Friday. Oh, yeah. Jay put roasts in the oven to cook and then did landscaping clean up. In the rain, he did this. Yep. He doesn’t even complain. I don’t get it. He’ll wail away about government paperwork, but with rain dribbling down the neck
two squirrels i once knew Okay, tonight Kirsten and Heidi were here together by coincidence. Heidi ran with her dog, all the way from her house a mile away. She does this for exercise, I guess, and to tire out the puppy. Kirsten drove. She lives further away. So we were trying to talk, but
