Daughter Lise and I have been filling the days with things we wanted to do before she goes home. We went to one of our favorite Italian places where she ordered a calzone, and I had a small pizza, both yielding two meals for us.

Lise ordered a big barrel, and it arrived in time for friend Toke to drill holes in it. After Toke left, we set it up in the area of the old burn pile. You can tell from our victorious smiles that we felt successful. Our first fire was not a good one, but I will keep trying to burn garden clippings in it.
Neighbor Logan had been very patient, and finally we called him to come play Boggle. He had improved greatly after Lise was here last time. He played the game with me, honing his skill. Lise said she was getting nervous when I told her how he routinely trounced me. The photo shows her biting her nails. Logan looks confident. Both played very well, with the best of two out of three games going to Lise this time.
Linda, whose blog is Nutstrok, has a post named Texas Chili Cookoff. I began reading it after Lise went to bed. It was so funny that I struggled not to make a sound, because I knew I might wake her up. It's a wonder I didn't explode with all the laughter pent up inside! The next day I asked permission to take her photograph while she read it.
Surprised laughter
Laughing uncontrollably
I can almost guarantee you will laugh if you read this. The link should take you to it.
