10.18.2008 Saturday: Party Party

Picture of: just some of the crowd at our house tonight for the October birthdays- both sides of the family- 33ish people ranging in age from four weeks to 69. Intergenerational, lol.

Today I: prepped, cooked and presented this party. No time for anything else. Fibro now attacking back. Bad Fibro; love the parties, hate the recovery.

05.31.2008 Saturday. (Un)Graduation

Picture of: one of the five tables we made up for our eldest's (un)graduation party tonight. We had some 300 pictures of her life all spread out on the tables underneath a clear-plastic table cloth. Lots of memories.

Today I: prepped, presented and attended my daughter's party with 30 members of our family. Good times. Picture ideas was good for conversations and memories. 18 years of unschooling. Excellent. Congrats, Katie.

04.26.2008: The Family That Parties Together...

Picture of: the table at a family party today.

Today I: returned the rental car; participated in a family party; got beat over the head with my FMS; watched the Depp "Sweeney Todd-" much better than I had hoped for; not a good storytelling business day, but these days are okay, too, considering I will be 24/7 Monday-Wednesday.
