Berry, berry, nice

Fresh baked blueberry muffins. My dear sister is a marvel.
The sweet summer berries came from Dad.

Another year

I can now claim a half century + one, years on this spinning planet.

To celebrate I'm going off to the Astros game tomorrow with my Dad.

It's the Stitch & Pitch event at Minute Maid park.

Loud women with pointy sticks. Should be fun.

Happy Birthday USA!

I hope everyone is having a glorious fourth.

Instead of grills & fireworks, its rain & laundry here.

Having the holiday in the middle of the week is very different. Slept in till about 10 a.m.

Last night went out to celebrate my Dad's 78th birthday. Joined my sister, her partner & Dad at a French restaurant. Had some wonderful lamb chops and a sinful bread pudding.

Dad's bday was the day before, so I surprised him with a gift after work. I got him one of the large square Euro pillows and a nice sham. He had been thinking of getting one so he could sit up more comfortably in bed. He was very impressed by the gift wrap. It was done by the shop I got the pillow from. The gift looked like one of his favorite blue stripped shirts. It even had a pocket with a button for the gift card.

Heard for my swap partner - she really liked the package. As of yet I have not gotten my swap gift. But its early days yet. The mailing deadline was June 30th, so it is probably on its way.
