So, to recap. These two brown pips are you and me, Mom, sneaking up to the lair of the ice dragon disguised as a young drow and her pet cat.
These two orange pips are the drow guards, who you THREW me at with no warning.
And that’s when it all started going wrong.
Did I miss anything?

We line up with the least experienced student all the way on the left to the most experienced student all the way on the right.
Guess who that is all the way on the right?

I made this tuna sandwich myself.
I opened the can.
I washed and cut the celery.
I got the mayonnaise and mixed everything.
I put it on the bread.
I’m not sure Mom looked up from the computer the whole time. She keeps mumbling about how she’s never doing taxes again.

Grandma taught a watercolor workshop. Karis, Paige, and Neighbor Auntie Dalia came, as did my cousins Veronica and Patrick (and Patrick’s s.o. Laci). I didn’t even know they lived around here!
Everybody did some really great Lonesome Trees.

Mom and Grandma went to Swain’s and Oh No! It was their Buy 1 Get 3 Free canvas sale. So they got 8 tiny canvases. We decided to do a collaborative project on them, with owls as the unifying theme. Grandma and I did some owl research.
We all three, Mom, Grandma, and I, worked on every canvas.
Grandma took three of them home to hang on her wall in Buffalo.

Started a journal, where I write down what happens to me everyday because the blog has too many holes in it.
Grandma came yesterday, the start of a nice long visit.

Dad and I went hiking up in the hills above our house. Who knew it was so nifty up here? How long have we lived here?

Seven cups of cheese. I know. I miswrote that at first. I corrected it to ONE cup of cheese.

This is how you throw Mike on the ground and take away his toys. Just so’s you know.
Fight club in the park is so great some days.
