Annette was cute, and sweet, presenting the gift she made for me. She folded the pages of a book in a way that makes a heart. She said, "I chose the roses for you," and that she liked the way you could still see whole pictures of the flowers, even when the craft was done. It looks like an enormous amount of precision folding and care, and when I commented about the time, she said, "I enjoyed doing it for you."

Beverly wrote me a sweet note, and is going to take me to lunch and to see the Sandhill Cranes.

Beth gave me a theme present -- a movie night, at her house, where she said there will be appetizers, and she put Champagne in my gift bag, along with some movie candy. She said, "And I made a definite time, so it can't just never happen."

John and Kim and Noah gave me a sweet card.

Shawn brought his girlfriend. First girlfriend to come to Second Sunday Supper. Brittany was the first to meet her. She sent a text to all of the girl cousins. Morgan's response: I"m currently driving 90 miles an hour down Schillinger.;-)

The girls all cooked and the kids helped set up and clean up, so it was a really easy night. Barry spent all day helping me, and took care of getting and heating up the Boston Butt.

Kim, going home with leftovers, "Thanks to you, I won't have to cook tomorrow night!"

Skyler, sitting at the table: "I'm waiting for Noah." When I told her about her ring shopping trip with Papa, she said, "Cool!"

Four very lonely tables last night. Finally scrunched them in a little.

John, hug and thank you as soon as he opened his card. Chris thank you.

Chris, John, Shawn, Beverly and JA helped me.

Beverly, doing the dishes even when her legs were tired.

John got a promotion. He said it was a surprise promotion...received a congratulatory e-mail before his immediate supervisors even told him about it. :-) He is as high as he can go in his department, but as he said, "That's okay. I'm making good money." I thought he had a good outlook on that. There isn't any point in being constantly dissatisfied.
