The birthday pinata. Before. Dave even put a hula hoop inside the pinata! (It came in 3 pieces, the hula hoop did, and has lights!) Never was good at hula hooping and it turns out, I’m still not. There was also Pla-Doh, 10 colors, inside. Love Pla-Doh.

Yard ornaments. Me and my brother, Leon, ages 1 and 3.
It’s funny how birthdays (yes, today) send us back in time. I remember one year, it was the year I turned 30 …(insert harp music) … that was the year that it didn’t rain on my birthday. The sun was shining, it was warm, and [...]

Here are more photos from Monday’s Learning Connection class with Janet C. Fish of Madison, artist, doll maker.

Yep, just checked. She’s still here.
There are muddy footprints in the bathtub. My sweatshirts once again have a smear of cat hair down the front. Life is good.
My brother dug out an old black-and-white photo of Cheryl and Princess, (it follows his German food comments.) Princess was my first cat.
