Sac Fly: Millie's First Birthday

Sunday School with about 28 in attendance. After worship ended at 1245 we made a couple of stops on the way home. Millie’s birthday party was at 4 pm, leaving not much time for C to make her side dish. We left around 345 and drove past several groceries and got on the Interstate before C realized we needed to stop. Already bad traffic. Got off and stopped at a Publix. I found a quick back roads route loaded with potholes. Arrived 50 minutes late. Grr. Anna & Caleb and Matthew and Monzie arrived just after us.

Millie had been sick, so all the families with young kids didn’t come. Just our family and one other older couple. MC’s parents were sick. M&M and A&C helped Will prepare the food: grilled Philly steak & onion sandwiches with a special sauce, roasted sweet potato fries, corn on the cob, and Ceil’s potato salad. Cake and ice cream. A feast.

Monday: up early to run on the treadmill. Took over 35 minutes to resolve some computer issues. Started with 112 emails in my in box from being off last week. Receiving more all moring, but currently have it down to 55 emails. Got plenty of emails that I just need to print out, so the number will hopefully will drop down by the end of the day.

Will’s brother in law Thomas is taking another respite from his job at Google. He and wife Holly are embarking on another long cross-country road trip, this time in the sprinter van they had bought from Anna’s work, the van formerly owned by High Country Outfitters. Their trip so far: Hilton Head to Atlanta to Memphis through Alabama to Memphis, then Little Rock for a wedding, Oklahoma, and Kansas to the Google office in Denver, then to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Lots of flack from some about Fever teammates not sticking up for Caitlin. Saw a video of Clark walking into the arena in NYC. Looked like she was limping, though she was still wearing fancy heels.

Looking at the next wave of just retired NFL QB’s and their potential hall of fame candidacay (Matt Ryan, etc), unfortunately they compare did several past QB’s who never got elected to the HOF – YA Tittle, etc.

Things guests notice immediately about your home: the smell, clutter, the lighting, are the kitchen and bathroom clean, houseplants, the entryway, interesting furniture, empty walls, the music, the temperature. Guests don’t notice small details, how thoroughly you cleaned, bedrooms, fancy silverware and dishes, and dining chairs.
