At Kids Day last Saturday, there were several adults who took the opportunity to dress up and have fun. This clown was spending time with each youngster and then presenting them with “balloon” creatures.

2 more days and counting….

As part of the Irrigation Festival, a carnival arrives each year. This young lady and I just happen to catch the trucks as they brought the rides, ticket booths, and sideshows. I’ll bet that by the time I get to work in the morning they will be well on their way to having it all set up for the grand opening on Thursday.

3 Days and counting….

Healthy Families hosted this booth at Kids Day. Rocks were provided and masterpieces were created. One saw lots of parents and grandparents holding on to the paperplates while the rocks dried and the children went on to more booths.

5 days and counting to the Irrigation Festival

I suppose the most common time to light the candles on a German Christmas Pyramid would be…well, Christmas. I love mine! I picked it up back in 1982 when I lived in Germany and for the most part, it stays out. My grandbabies love it.

PS. I have a new computer and I am anxious to visit. See you soon!

Did you read “Dear Abby” yesterday? When selecting a picture for this Valentine’s Day, this picture came to mind. In fairness, it was my camera, I was there, but I didn’t take this picture. It was taken at the rose garden in Tacoma and this beauty was there with her daughter. Don’t forget to call or spend some time with someone is alone today.

He was born at 10:38 a.m., January 31st. Details: 7 lbs, 9 oz., 20.5 inches long, black hair, long fingers, and absolutely perrfect. Mom did great!
My apologizes for missing the midnight posting. It’s a long but not very interesting story. I’ll be back on line to visit your blogs very soon, but for the next couple of days, I’ll be posting pictures (thank you word press), but be off line. Soon…I miss it.

My goodness, what a day it was! One of my students informed me he made a very good Mexican “mole”. That was what I wanted to serve for the son-in-law’s birthday dinner. I had no idea what all was involved. We started at 10 after he stopped at the Mexican store to buy the chilies. Then it was off to buy fresh chicken, corn tortillas, a plaintain banana, chipolte, tomatoes, onion, and cloves. We stopped off to borrow a pot from my daughter…none of mine were the right size…and at one point he had to go back to his house to get his blender…mine was puny in comparision. He also brought back a special pot to make the rice. We finally sat down at 3:30 with dinner to be served at 5. Was it worth it…oh, yes! Even if we did have to wash all those pots. I had every intention of visiting my friends blogs today, but did I mention those pots…they all needed washing….some more than once.
