About

Proin accumsan urna in mi. Aenean elementum egestas tortor. Donec neque magna, auctor a, dapibus sit amet, facilisis sit amet, ligula..

So, two weeks ago, my computer melted – actually, just one of the USB port cables did, but the whole computer “died”. Luckily, one of my friends loaned me an old laptop, say “Hi!”
so I could at least get on-line to order some new computer parts and check a few blogs. But for some reason, this snarky little computer wouldn’t even let me view my blog, much less post to it. I have my “new” old computer back finally, so I thought I’d catch you up on what you missed during the down time.

We were visited by royalty (happens frequently), this time by the Queen of (and I kid you not) “Chenaeiouyrda” [that’s pronounced chi-na-ra, sort of]
Went to the local Rescue Squad open house and got to pretend we had broken our leg at a football game!
Got dressed up to go worship and eat a fantastic meal
at the local Hindu temple.
Celebrated a birthday – OMG Faith is 12!!(and, yes, that IS a chemistry set she’s so excited to receive;
apparently my “nerd gene” is dominant – YES!!!!!)

Had a homemade brownie & lemonade stand
…and ate some profits
…and donated a snack to the renovation efforts at a
neighborhood arts camp.
FINALLY cleaned some space in the garage to unleash our creative spirit.
I missed Mrs. G’s open house (boo hoo), though I did bake some bread for the event (actually cheated and bought “par-baked” bread from Whole Foods and just gave it the last 12 minutes of baking for crispiness).
Had a great time eating watermelon at the Race Unity Picnic.
Went to an AMAZING gospel choir concert and got spiritually refreshed (I’m still floating!)
Had a momenatry lapse of sanity and adopted two guinea pigs – whaaaa!!

Hope you’re having a fantastic summer too!!

  1. I could never be trusted to man a brownie and lemonade stand. I’d be all, nothing to see here people just a lady having a large snack.
