Today wasn't the warmest of days, but it was perfect for weeding and other such chores of the yard. No, I'm not finished. Is weeding ever really finished? Besides, after awhile my hands have trouble listening to my brain's command, "grasp!". "I can't!", I hear my hand whine.
Zuzu, the cat, escaped this afternoon. She does stay within the confines of the backyard, but still it requires that I begin to think about things like fleas and missed shots. Taking her in to the vet requires two people and that takes planning. Something we don't do well with.
N and I, went to both of the Home Something stores today. Checking shingle and vent options. He's thinking July might be the best time for having help available.
Almost time to head to Eat Salem night. I have a feeling the restaurant is going to be busy . . .

and first there was cake . . .
Our new principal, Janet, came for a visit this morning. I'm thinking that tall, white, coconut covered cake was in her honor. Cake for breakfast? Sure, I'm right there with ya - fork in hand!
Right after that, the soundtrack from Grease cascaded out of the classroom intercoms - to celebrate the school sockhop on Saturday. The short people were ecstatic. What, more excitement?? Surprisingly, we were able to finish our three jobs.
The end of our day started with a lap around the track, recess AND Mr. Spivey dressed as a male relative of Lady Liberty climbing a ladder onto the roof. Seems like it's a good time for another 3 day weekend!
J drove all those miles north on I-5 to spend the weekend with F. Not only is she still wiped from an extra tough PT appointment, but she stayed up late making bread dough last night. I came home from work to the smell of bread baking. I teasingly accused her of wearing herself out to cook for the boy and by the look on her face, I know I was on the mark.
Happy hour is over and I'm stuffed with a delicious dinner.

Good-bye Painted Ladies
I had to share this sweet little video of the release of our butterflies. I only wish the short people had been in the shot as well as Laura.
Treasure
How lucky am I?
I received treasure via the USPS in a plain white envelope!
Not just a beautiful bracelet, but a beautiful bracelet made by L. :>)
I want to keep it on all the time, but since I don't want to break it . . .
Yay! No F appointments today! I'm so glad she has Kathy for a physical therapist. What a gift! She tried F out with a forearm crutch/brace yesterday.
Our school trip to the children's museum was a success yesterday - no short people lost and it didn't rain. The museum is always so packed to the gills, I wonder how much exploration is really possible. It's more like we're learning to navigate in a crowded place. Their favorite place every year is the wonderful playground. I think we just need a field trip to a great playground with a bubble room. Those seem to be the highlights for the kids.
I'm getting closer to getting the photo journals done. I only have about 8-10 missing photos. I'd like to get those taken today.
F and I, watched a couple of episodes of Coupling last night - until my eyes could no longer stay open. N was at band rehearsal.
Tomorrow is Eat Salem night! Ya hoo! Big Foot, here we come!

Oy! Is it Friday yet?
Okay, I understand the need to assess the short people. Of course, I do. It's just that the AMers are so . . . exuberant. Yeah, that's it! And I'm not always ready to deal with the exuberance of 27 short people early in the morning for 3.5 hours, while one of them is getting assessed. Get over it, I hear you say. Yeah, I'll try. I mean, gee whiz, there's really not that many days left, are there? And yes, I will miss them mid-June. 98.9% of them.
Today was our kindergarten lunch day and tomorrow we go to the children's museum. What's that bumper sticker say? Is it, "get in, sit down, buckle up, shut up and hang on"?
