We will be having a fairly informal birthday gathering for Sylvia on her birthday, Monday October 12. Anyone who wants to come, hang out and eat cake is welcome. It will likely start around three and go til six or so.

Once again, I have been neglectful in the relating of life events. Since I don't feel like relating the events of the last few weeks in mind numbing minutiae I will do it in list form ( Read more... )

A decent haul of candy was gotten and when we got home we were ( Read more... )
