After we saw "Liverpool" (Beatles tribute band) at Swedish Days we went out to eat at Sweet Tomatoes. When we came home we discovered that our neighbors tree had been knocked over by the storm. Eric, Vaughn and Cole helped them saw it up to get it out of the street.

We decided to clean the basement tonight...this is the "before" photo (I actually didn't take an "after" photo though...just take my word for it...it's much cleaner now)

Yummy lunch!

When the catgrass eventually died, I decided to plant some parsley in the planter that we got for Christmas. It's just starting to sprout now. I wonder if I'll be able to keep it growing.

Cole's Ipod took a ride in the washing machine a few days ago. We researched online and found out that if we let it dry out for at least 3 days in rice that it MAY work again. Today was day 3-it turned on but didn't sound quite right so we'll give it a few more days and try again.

Miranda June 15, 2011

We 'borrowed' some games from my parents house today. Gianni and I played a version of Trap Door on this rainy day.

Maureen June 15, 2011

One of our cats passed away at home last night. I brought her remains in to Animal Control this morning, so that they could properly dispose of them. I did fine up until the point where they asked me her name, then I had to start fighting back the tears.

Annie's last game of the regular season - a makeup game from an earlier rained out game. Tournament is later this week & next. She's really enjoyed playing softball & we'll probably sign her up again in the fall.
