This is an egg I found in our landscape. I'm not sure where it came from considering there are no trees around it? I cannot find the nest, so I'm not sure what to do with it.

Molly's taking a little vacation again. It always seems so peaceful when I'm visiting her there :-)

Get better soon!

First trip to Tastee Freez this year. We were suprised that they were open, since they've had the 'Must Sell' sign up since last fall. I wish we had enough money to buy it.

Our friends had a baby boy yesterday. This is his name - his middle name is pronounced "Patrick" although spelled Padraig..I thought it was very interesting!

Tissue paper hot air balloon prototype # 2. It still wouldn't go airborne, but it was kind of windy out there tonight. We may have to go another direction for celebrating the brownie's 'flying up' to juniors. I really, really want to do sky lanterns, like they had in the movie, 'Tangled' but am concerned about the ecological impact and safety issues in using them.

This picture is from last night, but I had to show it to you all - My drink was called "Mommy Dearest" Our waiter said they order these hangers from a doll house catalog, cut them and then put the blueberry on it.

Stopped at a forest preserve while driving Bryce home, today. There was a pretty cool waterfall there.

If you have a chance, get out and walk the trail that we adopted! It's so different because there is a housing development going up near the trail - so, they have cleared out a lot of trees, sadly. Let me know if you clean the trail so I can let the park guide know!

Shelby's class went on a field trip to Feed My Starving Children, today. Jim & I went along as chaperones

Annie's brownie troop is flying up to Juniors some time next month. The other moms & I were exchanging emails, today, trying to think of a fitting ceremony. We'd love to do 'Sky Lanterns' like the ones in Tangled, but are afraid of the fire & not liking the idea of littering when they come down. So, I started researching online & experimenting with tissue paper hot air balloons, tonight.
