I've been offline so much I don't know what to write. (I probably don't tell you this often enough but you internets inspire me.) Last week was one of preoccupation. I think this week will be marginally better. I think. I keep feeling there's something I'm forgetting.
But then, there's always something I'm forgetting.
Down the list… my grandfather has been moved out of the ICU! Yay! There are still some issues but no ICU is great. (Because no gnews is good gnews.) I have not heard how his kidneys are doing but please pray for no further complications.
Chance's birthday party was on Saturday. It was a Mario Bros/snake theme this year. Speaking of scatter-brained, somehow I managed to take a whole series of photos upside down. As in, I must have been holding the camera upside down!! And still clicking.
Anyway, when I say snakes I do mean snakes.
This one particular snake tried making off with my glasses. Yeah, I'm a fashion icon.
And another kick ass cake. With raspberry chocolate frosting! Yum!
Shit! How did I DO that?!
That's better. Albeit a bit blurry.
There's a metaphor in there somewhere. – wg
Just too cool you had a snake wrangler for Chance’s birthday!
The ICU is great for constant attention, but it’s such a great sign to hear your grandfather’s out of there. I didn’t pick up a card for the snake guy, and I can’t remember the cool name of his business. Please share.
Sorry we missed the snakes. I love snakes. But just so you know, Jazzy was 4/4 on Saturday. Guess all those years of watching her sister play have paid off.
What a beautiful boy you have! And talk about brave – you and him both! That photo of you with the snake across your face made me shudder!
I hope the gnews you get about your grandfather keeps being good gnews.
it is a kick ass cake – but the snake/glasses picture? yikes. i don’t think i’d like that.
hope your grandfather does well.
Such a contrast–the naive health of the young, the wise illness of the old. Yet both need prayers and good thoughts. May God provide for all of Bob’s and Chance’s needs, whatever they are.
Lusty – I think the adults were more into it than the kids! Should I have snakes at our next grownup get together?
Jeanne – Thanks! The company was called For Goodness Snakes, owned by Brian Gundy. He was awesome! I put a link in the post above but here’s his website. http://www.for-goodness-snakes.com
Godmother – Go Jazzy! Who says girly girls can’t play sports?
FADKOG – Thank you! Don’t feel bad, Keen wouldn’t touch the snakes either. He’s not scared of them… but he’s not a fan!
Magpie – There were more than a few people saying yikes about the snakes. š
Scott – Thank you for your prayers!
