Hippie Boy is back...

This is what the lawn looked like this morning. Even with the bagger on the mower it left great piles of grass in the yard. I think it was because the grass was so long that it just didn't go into the bagger! I hope to finish it tomorrow and go over the front part again.
This is me on my first birthday! Many of the pictures I took from Mom and Dad's don't have any names or dates on them, but this one does so I know for sure. Deb, this is for you. I posted a bunch on Facebook, but I know you don't FB and I want you to see how cute I was... and always these round cheeks!


...but just for a little while. He arrived this morning and went out to work at the hot dog stand for the bike team. I went out there after work and hung out for a while and talked to him and Lindsey. It was kind of pleasant. I made a quick trip to Aldi and he rode his bike home. He was starving, but neither of us felt like cooking. He said he really wanted to go to Max's Place because he likes the food and maybe there would be music. We drove downtown and took forever to find a parking space and then when we went in there was a band that sounded good, kind of bluesy, but it was so loud we couldn't have had a conversation at all. So we left and went to my friend Tamyra's place. It was more expensive (sigh), but we could talk so it was pleasant.

We didn't get home until late so Michael pretty much went right to bed and I am doing my usual thing. The only things left on my list are finish my laundry, which is in the dryer right now, and blog, which I am doing right now!

I am going to go meet a couple of internet friends in Ohio on Sunday and I am taking Monday off work, so I am excited about that!

Positive thougts today are for joy in being with my son. I am glad Emily found a job for the summer (no teaching job yet), but Chicago is so much farther away and I already didn't see her enough. I am so happy my children are nice people.

Adding a couple of pictures:
