Some good news: Rachel got her car fixed and it cost way less than I was fearing. The guy did a great job and only took two days. Now she will be back on the road and I won't have to be taxi mom, which will make us both happier. For details,

David called earlier this week with a couple possible dates for their wedding--June 21 or July 4. I couldn't really object to July 4th since I know someone else who got married on a holiday. We await further details.
Two Saturdays ago sons of two close friends got married and we were unable to attend, but I've enjoyed seeing photos and hearing about those weddings. Next Saturday one of them is having a Dallas reception for which I am going to bake a couple cheesecakes.
Laura got back from her trip to Haiti, and was sick for a few days after. I haven't gotten any word in the last fews days--hope she is better.
Gary got a new computer at work this week, since his old one started acting cranky. But come to find out, his new one doesn't have any better specs than the one I got for Christmas a year and a half ago, so he's feeling cheated! He did get a special video card so he can run two monitors at the same time. He's going to try to use one monitor as a "magnifying glass" at the cursor location on the main monitor.
We've made some internet purchases lately, quite an odd assortment. Besides a book, we've bought a new chair, a bottle of black ink, magnifying glasses, and a new lawnmower blade. Gary finds internet shopping so much easier because he can magnify the print on his computer whereas doing that in the store is harder.
The only other news of note is that we are yet again refinishing our deck. I hired a couple MK boys to do the scrubbing earlier this week, and now we're starting to put the stuff off. Turns out we got the wrong color, but oh well, too late now! Lots of fun to do this now that the temperatures have reached 100.
