Eleanor turned 8. She wanted a Hawaiian party. Chris made grass skirts for the girls out of green adhesive backed table skirts.  I made an ice-cream cake.




The garden is coming along. I like chard.

As soon as the girls finished painting, my sister called and said she had a layover at O'Hare.  So, we hopped in the car, shoeless and painted, to welcome her home.
