CONCERT PIANIST

Last night after Blake had gone home, Mimi, Liam and Erin decided to put on a concert for mama. Just so sorry there in no sound. When I find out how to do it I will put sound on. Starting next month mama will call the piano tuner to have the piano tuned and Mimi will be starting lessons. Not sure where she will go to music school. Mama still has quite a bit of research to do on that subject.

MIMI AND THE BFF's

Yesterday both mama and Mimi spent most of the day shopping for our upcoming camping trip. Mimi who has not seen her friends in one day was getting a bit ansy to see them again. So off to the park Mimi, mama and Blake went. It was such a nice evening that almost everyone was there. Next thing that happened, Erin came running over to the park saying her mom Janet wanted to see me. To make a long story short, her dad Sean was cutting the grass with the mower and somehow cut his finger deeply. When Derek, Jim and mama arrived at the house to see what we could do. Sean was near passing out. His finger was cleanned and wrapped and he was sitting at the kitchen table sweating profusely. While Janet got the baby ready, I took the other kids Erin and Liam home with me. Mimi who did not know what was going on was just happy to have Erin and Liam come over to the house and Blake who absolutely hates to miss out on anything just had to come too. They all had loads of fun at the house last night. At 8:30 it was time for Blake to go home and at 9:00 was when Janet came by to pick the kids up. According to Janet, Sean ended up having 10 stitches to his finger. On one hand this is an unfortunate accident that happened to Sean, on the other hand I feel so very fortunate to know that we have neighbors such as Derek and Jim plus a few more others that are there to help out in a crisis.

OLIVER HARDY

After our episode with the raccoons last week, our Ollie really scared the heck out of mama last night. She went downstairs to check on our provisions for our upcoming camping trip and it was dark in the garage as she opened the door and lo and behold who pops out of nowhere? Ollie, who is about the size of a raccoon. Mama's heart skipped a beat right then and there!
