yesterday was...

Annette's birthday! YEah ANnie! I baked you a neato cake- do you like it? It took me a while to frost it and so you get it the morning after (okay, so really it's just a picture fun mad hatter sort of feeling cake, but I would like to try it some time). I love my sister and I wish her many more happy returns of the day- well deserved.

Pioneer Parade

Pioneers raced or paraded past us today on their bikes or scooters on their way for some ice cream. Each year the children that parade up our street get less and less as do the spectators. A few adults lined the path and threw candy at the pioneers as they passed. I dished out ice cream, Russ visited with buddies.

Nutmeg's progress

Here it is- a little late but, well... you can see that she's doing great. Now if we could get someone to look at her foot- Nutmeg's, not tali's.

Happy Father's Day

For your sacrifice, sleeping out on the hay, long Sunday talks, long evening walks, teaching me to drive a tractor, fun ideas, support, and love.
Thank you.
Right now for your love of my children and the amazing love they have for you.
Thank You.
For your example of high standards and doing your best,
Thank you.

I love you Dad.

Johnson's flowers

Some people are so well known for some things- say... cooking, for example- that we may not notice other amazing talents. I mean, I must admit that there are times when my charm and stunning good looks cause my intelligence to be overlooked! Don't you want to visit this beautiful garden?
