Rachael And Lily Are Here!

Yesterday two things happened. The semester began so I am back at work AND, more importantly, Rachael and Lily arrived. So, now I am still working every day but at least I'm getting paid. My girls helped ease the stress of getting the semester off to a good start. Lily is so funny that she keeps me laughing. She is alternately a doggie and a kitty. She barks and meows and pants. Hee hee hee.

Last night Terry came for dinner and we had a ball. Rachael and I made Mexican pulled pork, guacamole, an interesting salad that contained raw corn, radishes, avocado, red bell pepper, onion, Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and several other things I can't think of at the moment; the dressing was comprised mostly of fresh lime juice and honey. After dinner, we had a "jewelry show". My friend, Ron, had given me dozens of piece of silver jewelry to go through and to share with Rachael and Terry. The prices are a steal!

Today, we took it easy and one of the things we accomplished was making a few cards. You can see them in the photos below. Several are variations on a theme, as you can see. For some reason I cannot get the one card oriented correctly. Oh, well.

I have more to say but it is Lily's bedtime and she wants me to read her a story, so I'll end here.
