Reunion

It was a busy day for Bernie yesterday.  A shower, reunion, and church! I didn't take many photos, having forgotten to charge the camera. I blame my airheadedness, not age . . .

Brothers. Uncle Jim, 93, and Dad, 94. I got Dad some nonalcoholic beer and he liked it. Uncle Jim is golfing 9 holes every week.
Uncle Jim, Aunt Kay, Dad, Aunt Joan. We all missed Aunt Jean yesterday.

Dad did very well, knew a lot of the cousins by name, We had great food and weather, a spectacular day. Dad tired pretty early so we headed home so he could rest up a bit before church.

John's vegan 30 days is over tomorrow.  We had some good meals last weekend, but I wasn't really a vegan. I learned that I could NOT give up animal products and coffee at the same time, and I went to the gas station to get coffee and they had whipped cream sitting right there.

What did the cucumber say to the tomato?

You are such an ass!
Last summer concert on courthouse lawn this week. Dad loves them! Banjo Buddies got rained out last time we went, Bernie got a little wet, much to his chagrin . . . and my amusement. LOL

My sunflowers finally bloomed, and the goldfinch hurried to pluck off all the petals so they could get at the seed! LOL

Tomatoes are coming in very well, I eat a couple every day. There is zucchini too, and my self digging taters are back. I've found 3-4 in the tater bed so far. I think I need a deeper bed for my taters.

Quiet at work last week, intern is done, boss on vacation, court reporter and judge down my hallway on vacation as well. It was too quiet up there!

That's all.

Vegan Weekend

I got to John's house and this is what I found . . .







John is 11 days into a 21 day vegan detox plan. I ALMOST went down to camping today, my friends were renting a pontoon boat for the afternoon. So it was a tough decision, 3 1/2 hour drive down to pontoon, boat, lots of junky yummy  food, beer, beer beer . . . or a vegan weekend at John's house. Hmmmmm. Were it not for the long solo drive, I would have gone down to camping. So here I am at John's! We had this . . .

and I got a text from my friend Donna:

"Fricking raining! No boat! Out 50.00"


I guess I made the right decision! LOL  I'm in for the vegan weekend!
