It’s time for the once a semester GA meeting, so, as the one who called the meeting, I figure it’s my job to supply enticements.
Last meeting was a week after I broke my ankle, so all they got was pizza, but this time I felt up (with rest & elevate the ankle breaks) to make [...]
This weekend Lily, my cousin Math and his wife Jana’s daughter, was christened.
Lily was named for my grandmother, Lillian. She also wore my grandmother’s christening gown, which was made by my great-grandmother Sophia.

$30 for the CD, and it was totally worth it.
Top three x-rays were from May 14th, the day I broke my ankle.
Bottom two images were from July 30th, 11 weeks after the break.
No wonder my ankle still aches–guess I still do have a broken ankle.
Sadly, I was using my PowerShot and not my Rebel, so very few of the pictures turned out, as I was trying not to use the flash. Bah Humbug.
The pictures I took with my phone actually turned out better, which seems extremely wrong.
So serious!
Much better!
Really lucky! I got to spend time yesterday with Julliene!
Happy birthday Michael!
My most favorite husband EVER!
Really!
My garden is still a mess, and probably will be for the remainder of the year. I’m still not 100% yet, it’s too hot, and we’ve been traveling too much.
Luckily, I’ve done so much work over the past several years, much of the garden is self-maintaining, and doing well with benign neglect.

Saturday we went to visit Grandmom. She’s been in a rehab facility relearning to stand up and walk and climb stairs again.
The facility where she is getting her rehab is really marvelous. We went to the back, which is like a small park with huge shade trees and even play areas for kids–very beautiful.
Grandmom still [...]
It is really wet outside.
Riiiiight
So I’ve been busy, which is why you get these pictures of the 4th of July fireworks a week late.
But at least I’ve posted something?

Since it was supposed to rain, we decided to go to Blennerhasset Island instead of Blackwater Falls.
This had the added advantage of taking us to Parkersburg so we also got to spend time with Julliene. (OK, and Brian & Stacie as well.)
It didn’t rain at all, and was instead gorgeous.

Really lucky, because I got to spend part of the day with the beautiful miss below.
Jealous, aren’t you?
Jeri just reminded me–it’s Friday and that means it’s time for cat blogging!
His Furriness was looking especially royal this morning.
Another thing we did yesterday was go Newell WV to visit the Homer Laughlin China Co and Fiestaware Outlet.
As previously mentioned, I have Fiestaware for my dishes. I like the variety of colors, and the fact it’s a WV company is just icing on the cake. However, I wouldn’t have gone to the factory/outlet except [...]
This was Vince’s last day with us, so we decided to visit Fallingwater on the way (sort of) to the airport. The nice thing about being on vacation is that getting lost doesn’t much matter.
Which is good.

Monday we took Jeri & Vince to Cooper’s Rock. Since the weather was hazy, hot, and humid, we waited until late afternoon to go, and even so still didn’t stay long.
Despite the heat, it was gorgeous, and we had a good time. The only sad part was that because I’m still limping along, jumping and [...]
Right now–AS I TYPE THIS–members of the UCF (besides myself) are sitting in my living room.
Here are some pictures from our adventures so far.

Here it is, the first flower pr0n since I broke my ankle!
I missed a lot of flowers: peonies, bearded irises, dutch irises, and a lot of my day lilies, though most of them still seem to have buds.
