Turning the big 07 and other…
Tweety turned the big 07 yesterday. We had a party for her today. Lots of kids and fun. It was great for me too because the parents stayed. (That means more people to run interference with kids!) I’m not sure what her favorite present is but I think the little mp3 player from Mawmaw is going to be a hit. I spent this evening putting songs in. Djembe is working on the PC installing our Vista upgrade. From across the room it looks cool. I’ll play with it tomorrow and see if it gets my seal of approval.
We almost burnt down the house last night. SCARY! Our mower has had issues. Jem got it running and finished 3/4 of the yard before it gave up the ghost. Maybe a blade broke??? Anyway, he pushed it back around to the garage to store it out of sight until we can take it to the mower doc. I took care of all securing the house issues last night and smelled smoke but thought it was just the neighbor burning. This morning when Jem woke me he asked if I had used something different to clean or bought a new plug in, saying it smelled smoky. When he went in the garage he discovered the mower had been smoldering all night. *FREAK* There wasn’t a lot of smoke or anything, we just had that hickory smoked smell going for us. It could have been really bad and we are very blessed that it wasn’t something more.
It’s been a long day, but one that was fulfilling. Nice to celebrate with family and friends.
On a sad note, my digi camera broke today. No clue as to why, but I’m very unhappy about it. Of course, this does mean that I will have to buy a new camera before we head to the coast. I can not go to the Pompeii exhibit or the beach without a camera.
