1. Today was Cupcake Day. Evelyn helped me bake 52 chocolate, 70-ish lemon, and about 60 vanilla, from scratch. We grated lemon peel, and separated eggs, mixed and washed the bowls and baked...it took five hours.
2. Tomorrow is Frost-The-Cupcakes Day. And, Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. It's all for a fourth of July barbecue that Emily's company is catering, for a church fundraiser.
3. Margaret took Suzanne, Sonja, Irene (Sonja's friend), Jonathan, Char, and Cam to the park at one of the Finger Lakes...they played chess and cards and played on the playground.
4. Kathryn and Joseph left this morning for a weekend trip to Ohio for a soccer tournament.
5. Duke, oh poor Duke. He is going to the vet next week to re-check his ear. It doesn't look good, and we have to decide what to do. :(
6. Ashley, Ben's wife, is still in town...she came to visit the other day with little Anya...and is coming again tomorrow.
7. The weather today is absolutely glorious. Sunshine and a slight breeze, low humidity...just perfect, but horrible weather for baking cupcakes! I just wanted to go outside today!
8. Tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same weather, so I need to get those cupcakes frosted early on.
9. It is quiet-ish here, just the hum of two push-mowers, as Paul and Jonathan tackle the lawn. We were gone on vacation, then got all that rain...
10. It's that time again, time to mosey on out to the kitchen and decide what's for dinner. With Joe and Kap gone, there are only nine of us for dinner. It's a far cry from just a few years ago...oh yeah, Margaret's going out with some friends tonight, so only eight!
11. Paul brought flowers for me today. He has tomorrow off, and came home a little early today...early enough for us to drive to town together and pick up the truck from the repair shop. This has been repair year for us, with our three clunkers.
12. The lawn mowers are quiet now, perhaps I'll jump up and pretend I'm busy:) ha.
