Happy Birthday, Jan

We joined friends from Kimball church to celebrate Jan's 55th birthday. We went to Spaghetti Warehouse and ate way too much. We tried to ride the DART light rail to get there, but the train left while we were still fussing with the ticket machine, so we gave up and drove to the West End. We found a place to park on the street without having to pay, so that was nice. Nice, especially because I put $56 of gas in the van today! That's the most I've ever paid for a fillup.

Today we searched high and low to find the cat to take her to the center for low-cost shots. We had given up and driven off when the cat just reappeared from where, we do not know. But the line was still there, so we stuffed her into a pillowcase and off she went for her shot.

Gary had to drag out the old, old backup mower because he can't get the old mower to start this year. The old, old mower has one wheel that sits at a 45 degree angle. But it did start, and Gary mowed the whole yard with it today.

Rachel is making her plans to go to a Maverick's playoff game with friends this Wednesday, thanks to Andrew's finesse at buying tickets. She's a real fan.
