Sooooo.... It actually stopped raining for a little while yesterday, and we actually were able to have an outside barbeque for my birthday! At least we managed 1 hour & 18 minutes before the rain started and we retreated to the house. (It was only about 55 degrees out so too cold to hang out under the gazebo once the rain started...) Attending were Natalie, Therese & John, Nick and Stan and Grandma, Patrick and Alex & Alix. Alex & Alix came by on their way back into town from Bend. They went to Bend to see a Death Cab for Cutie concert and had camped at Tumulo State Park--where it snowed! Natalie gave me a very silly pair of wine glasses in a leopard print. I think I will ask her where she got them--those would be great to donate to the cheetah auction in October, along with a bottle of wine perhaps. I think there's one from South Africa that has a cheetah on the label even. Oh yeah! The CCF Gala in Windhoek is on July 15th so Heather will still be in Namibia for it! That according to the event calendar on the CCF website.
Spent this morning watching the Indianapolis 500 which was pretty great this year. I put out my race flag, which is bigger and lighter than most of my decorative flags. So it was fluttering in the wind a lot and Sophie kept growling at it!!
Otherwise have had a pretty lazy day. Took grandma to JoAnn and Value Village and have seen way too much television. Was enjoying America's Funniest Home Videos until she got annoyed that I was laughing. *sigh* Ordered a guide to the Birds of Namibia so I can try to identify the bird photos that Heather sent me. :-) Went to REI with Stan to return a couple items and looked at kayaks.
Nick's out having tea with Lindsay at Townsend's. Stan went to church tonight since we were watching the Indy 500 this morning.
Damien called me from England for my birthday! And Natalie also gave me a pile of refrigerator magnets from England, including a ROYAL WEDDING FRIDGE MAGNET!!!!!
lols on the magnets! And I'm glad your birthday was good! I hope you liked the bird photos. Ya knooooow, it's sunny here EVERY DAY! It was like, 65-70 degrees with a mild breeze today. >:) (after it stopped being so cold this morning.)And who won the Indy 500???? Did they jump on the fence??? LOL! LOVE YOU!
