Woke up this morning with a text from Ashley that Miles had had an accident and fallen through their glass door! Yow! He had to have 16 stitches. Ouch. He’s doing fine, but we appreciate your prayers for his shoulder and healing rapidly.

Took one of their team members to Plaza Fiesta to exchange something they purchased as well as talking to a phone repairman who was working on Ashley’s iPhone. He fixed the screen but the on/off button is now not working. We’ll take it back over there tomorrow to see if he can get that squared away.

Had our final time with the group from New Bethel at one of our favorite restaurants Penang! It was delicious and fun to have our whole family together including Kathy, Jesse and Miles!

Can you see the four types of feeders in this picture?
s

(Suet, thistle, sunflower/millet, sugar water!)

Put the DVDs from my shoot this Saturday in the mail!
d

I seem to have a booboo on my thumb. (At least I think that’s the medical term for it.) Can’t see anything, can you?
b

Jesse, Ashley and I had a fun lunch with Ian and Ruthie North—two of our favorite people! It’s “King” Ian’s 30th birthday today!

Groovy, baby!

My good friend Tabias came by to see me today. He’s like a son to me!
t

On our way home, Jesse and I stopped at the AT&T store. We modified our cell phone plan from unlimited data to 10 GB. That should save us about $50/month plus it makes our phones a mobile wifi hot spot if we need it for a different device. Groovy!

There was a parade of road working machinery outside of AT&T!
a

Home now to work on admin duties and spend time with K.

I love these baby azaleas!

Cheese and caramel?
