Guess what this is! It is NOT popcorn … it our field corn, popped. This was Kiki’s idea and he brought it over for me to see the result.

And this was the week for the anniversary.
My biggest baby is 40 years old. Our marriage is 41. Same day.
Monica heard the hint from Akka and set up the “party” as a picnic down by the pond…. water level is low, but there is some water there.
Looking to the left, you can see the deck of the cottage; looking to the right you can see the orchid house.
Looking down … what is that on my foot??? It was the gummy-sticky-est seeds I’ve ever met.
The rest of the family showed up.
Two young roosters were guests of honor: one roasted, one curried.
Monica brought up her idea of a “petting zoo” again.
Obligingly, the sheep showed up. Larry was enjoying some heart of palm. Some geese wandered by, too.
It was a very pleasant little celebration.

Happy week, everybody.
