One of my daughters bumped a shelf a few years ago. The shelf fell and I believe the item that broke was that cake platter.







Happy birthday Kylee and Makenna!

I'm not a meteorologist, but forecasting a temperature over 20 degrees below normal over two weeks in advance CANNOT be good for a weatherman's chances at improving his credibility. From my amateur observations, temperature departures-from-normal of over 20 degrees are relatively rare and pretty extreme when they happen.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boysPainted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no moreAnd puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.and I realized what the song was about. It's the kind of thing that gets to my emotions. I was too choked up to sing anymore, which, I guess, made the time that much more special.
