Today is birthday day here in our house;
Lynne turned another year this morning. Happy Birthday Lynne. We actually
celebrated it with the usual presents, cake and candles last Saturday. The
girls and myself had baked her favorite cake, a carrot cake but the highlight
for the girls was clearly making the icing, mixing the colors just right to
yield Mommy’s favorite color, purple. She received a new MacBook Air for her
birthday. Lynne and I went out for a very relaxing, quite dinner for two last
night which was great.
On Friday evening we had the annual
Spring Program hosted by the Montessori School. Quite basically, each class
stages a song or two for the adoring families looking on. Isabel’s class gave
us a rendition of Purdue's fight song, Hail Purdue.
The kids went to the circus this
afternoon. The Kelly Miller Circus was in town and Brooke very generously
offered to take them (thank you so much). They were so excited this evening at
dinner. We had tales of elephants, trapeze artists and of course the clowns.
They had a wonderful time.
With great sadness we bid farewell this
week to Lorraine’s mother, Jane Ziegler who passed away last Saturday evening,
may she rest in peace. She lived a wonderful life, it was only a couple of
weeks ago we celebrated her 90th birthday. We did not know her that
well but we do know that she will be sadly missed by many friends and dearly
remembered by all her family.
