OK, so we update even less than Johanna...but we usually have nothing new to tell since we talk to everyone on the phone so often. However, we do have some pictures of our birthday message to Eileen Ward, dad's beard and turtle shell, and the gourmet brownie dessert shared with Bobbie and Frank recently (really, you had to be there to appreciate it, but since I took a picture while we were laughing hysterically, I'll post it even if you can't see the humor)
Dad wants to make sure everyone appreciates his beard which he's grown now for 7 weeks. We have differing opinions on its attractivness but he's enjoying it.
Frank and Bobbie came over to entertain dad a couple Fridays ago and brought dinner in the form of Frank's famous and tasty pizza. So I said I would make a gourmet dessert. And I did have a good plan....double chocolate brownies with rich vanilla ice cream and dark fudge sauce! As I put the brownies in the oven at 5:00 o'clock, set the timer, and laid on the couch to rest, I said, "OD, make sure I don't sleep through the timer!" Well, you can foresee the end of this story...not only did I sleep, so did dad. And the brownies were a BIT overdone. I figured the fudge sauce would loosen them up, but no luck. We tried stabbing them with spoons and forks, but still no soft brownies.
The pictures were supposed to go AFTER the message, and there are no points awarded here for "artistic layout", but everything except the Eileen photo came through.
So, that's done!
