Farmer's Market 2009!
Our Friday night Farmer’s Market is back.
It makes me happy.
It makes living inthemiddleofnowhere the tiniest bit bearable.
There are new vendors.
I can’t get over the new lettuce man.
No pesticides.
All summer this is where I’m getting my lettuce.

Mother's Day Lunch
We joined Faris’ family at a yummy Thai restaurant for lunch on Mother’s Day.
After lunch we strolled to an interesting restaurant for dessert.
Excellent outdoor seating.
Strange dessert bar.
You could pick up to five little desserts.
Five costly little desserts.
We considered walking away with the chairs, it only seemed fair.
They did have a cool coffee cream dispenser.
Auntie Roula and Tata chased Luke up and down the promenade.
I was able to sit and enjoy myself…what a foreign concept it has become!
Thank you!

Mother's Day Brunch
The Saturday before Mother’s Day my parents came over to enjoy a Saturday morning Mother’s Day Brunch.
Quiche, Baked Cheese Grits, Delicate Potato Onion Cakes, and Fruit Salad.
Good Food + Excellent Company = Fabulous Saturday Brunch

13 Staples
John-David has 13 staples in his head.
And a rather significant bump.
I’ll let you decided how he got them:
Scenario A
In the gym parking lot, a 6 year old boy was left unattended in a car and managed to put the car in reverse.
The car was rolling backwards towards traffic.
John-David dashed out of his car with the flashlight he keeps on the driver’s side,
smashed the window and banged his head as he dove head first into the driver’s seat.
Scenario B
At work, John-David had to crouch down between conveyer belts and pipes and miscalculated when he stood up.
Scenario C
Late for class, John-David tripped going down the stairs in his apartment building.
Scenario D
Friday night John-David and his coworkers went for a joy ride on the conveyer belts at his work.
John-David fell off in a moment of tomfoolery.
Scenario E
John-David was checking his oil when the hood slipped of the stick thingy and banged his head.
Gross Alert
A picture of 13 staples.
For you, brother.

Silence
I l o v e silence when my 19 month old is asleep.
It is rejuvenating.
Silence when he is awake is an entirely different matter.
I was in the kitchen when my ears pricked up like radar screens,
trying to locate the noise my son was making.
It was silent.
Mild panic set in as I raced to locate Luke, sure he
had fallen in the toilet or filled it with whoknowswhat
was writing on the walls
was balanced with one foot on the top of whoknowswhat.
My heart melted when I found him.

Recovery
It took days but Luke conquered the pesky virus
and is back to his wonderful self.
As sick people tend to do, Luke wasn’t much interested in eating for several days.
His first sustenance of any substance was macaroni and cheese.
He shoveled it in and I was so grateful.
I had to remove his shirt.
Gasp.
It became a messy affair.
A huge sickness allowance because at my table/house there is no service for the shirtless.
We come to the table dressed.
To inspire eating we took a trip to an ice cream shop.
He would not allow the ice cream goodness to pass his lips.
Can you imagine?
