Happy Birthday!!



















...to Elise (18) and Lulu (3)! Went to Olive Garden to celebrate Elise's 18th birthday and had a nice time. Mom and Jim, Jill, Les, Elise, Leah and myself were there. The food was great and it was nice to see everyone. I hope Elise had a great day. We got to hear about the Griswold cruise around Europe and I'm trying to convince Jill to create a blog so she can post pictures and updates there.


This weekend I will plant my garden at County Farm Park with Jenny. We have to put up some fence. We'll need to bury the fence so it will be time consuming. It should be fun though. We want to build a split door, perhaps have a lemonaide stand and charge a fee to other gardeners for therapy. Well, I suppose our main goal is to actually produce some veggies this year. 2 years ago when we tried this the local woodchuck ate everything but our jalepeno peppers. Smart guy he was.

Don't know what else I'll do. Lulu and Buster will have their hair done again on Tuesday. I'd like to order tickets to the Tigers' game on 6/11/08 because the first 10,000 people in the park get retro 1970's t-shirts. I really want one. I might go to Jill's one day. Um...perhaps take the rest of the weekend as it comes. I hope to take a vacation in a few weeks if my work schedule allows.

OK. I'm out! I've posted a couple pictures, from top (the pictures are not the best but I like them): Duck picture taken at "our" pond 5/322/08; Lulu on her 3rd birthday, 5/22/08; Mom, Jim, Lulu and Buddy and a tiny section o f Jill at Montibeller Park near my home in Pittsfeild Township; Before-paint picture of our living room; After-paint picture of our living room; Close-up color of paint...Benjamin Moore Aura Lodge; Baby Canadian geese at Lillie Park in Pittsfield Township; Ferral cat that lives at the pond by my house...he looks like a Tom cat, eh?; Flowers from mom and Jim for my birthday.

Hi Mary, Mary quite contrary--hope your garden grows--very well! Your wildlife pictures are worthy of publication and I can see them matted and framed at the Art Fair--are you going this year? The cat's face is amazing and speaks volumes. And the fireplace wall looks great, love the color of paint and the name. Good job, Thomas!!

Jim's lost a bunch of weight per MDs orders. He's looking good!
