Yesterday my grandparents (on my mom's side) celebrated their golden 50th wedding anniversary. We surprised them with lovely decorations, a nice dinner and a photo slideshow that my uncle put together for them. It was wonderful.

Gasp! =O Anyway, it's a day off from school, though the band has a field trip later that evening. One, I didn't turn in my permission slip, ( Read more... )

As I'm sure you already know, Steve Irwin's dead. It was weird. I knew he was dead, but refuse to believe it for some reason. He was so young, and it was completely unexpected. I just hope his family will be alright ( Read more... )

A few relatives came over for an early Labor Day party. I kind of stayed in the basement most of the time, working hard on my commissions. I've almost got my first set of wings done ( Read more... )
