Not only does Harry's old camera - which I have appropriated - insist on putting all the pictures in the 2005 file - where I have a hard time locating them - but for some reason blogger puts them in a pretty random order. So here's a somewhat random report on the last few days.
We were at Harry and Dawn's today to celebrate Harry's birthday - and so the "girl cousins" were having fun in the guestroom - they were watching some Dr. Seuss video I think.
Dawn has done most of the hostessing for the last several weeks - she is truly the "hostess with the mostess" as they used to say!!
I went over there this afternoon to bake my 45th pineapple upside down cake. (We've only been married 44 years, but one year I made two of them!!)
Of course, Helen joined in the festivities - after all, she's the mom of the birthday boy!!
Some "Chutes and Ladders" going on here.
To give Dawn a little break, I brought the kids over to our house - we hunkered down in the garage for some "Golf" - and we each won a round!
There's never a shortage of helpers for the candle-blowing activity!!
On Saturday, Bobby, June, A.J., Mom, and Donna came out to Pasadena, and we had lunch together. They came for a brief visit - it was great to see them.
The living room if full of the new cabinets - but you can see a bit of the new rug we got. I'm loving it - Dad is getting used to it!
They come tomorrow to install the cabinets - hopefully the living room will be empty of them soon.
Harry - standing in front of one of the new cabinets - with slide out shelves - we are getting excited to be putting stuff away one of these days!!
Saturday night was the ward Christmas party - Helen joined us then too. I was late for it - I attended Alana Finlay's wedding reception - it was fun to see lots of old friends. Our ward party had a lovely program too.
All the hustle and bustle seems strange since we are still in "construction mode" around here - Christmas will come - we will not be ready. We are banking on being ready for New Year's Eve!!
