Invisifriend Visits

I have known a group of women since 2006, when we all experienced a craptacular event together. We found strength and unity and a common pain that lead us out of a bad time. That was 5 years ago. I had not met any of the women until last week.

Alicia was in town for work and we got together for dinner. It reminded me of how wonderful this bunch is and how I could not have driven out of that dark tunnel back then without all of their support.

Seedy


As it turns out, AJ is a fan of the pomegranate. Who knew? He ate almost a whole one all by himself on two separate occasions. Which made things...seedy.

Fall Fun in the Summer Weather


It has been nice and warm here for the last 10 days or so. Unseasonably warm, I think. upper 70's and even an 80 degree day snuck in there. We have been hanging out in the leaves while they are nice and dry and crunchy instead of being wet and slimy and rotting with the occasional slug hiding in there. AJ really likes the little neighbor girl. He peeped in the window today to see if she was in there. He likes her as much as he likes Lena.

There is a squirrel eating my pumpkins. He is a bold one. He came right up to the kids looking for snacks. He teased them and then ran under the bush. A few minutes later, he poked his head out and approached them again. Wild animals cannot be trusted.
