So, the G'ma Joan / Uncle Ben birthday pie story: Let me start by asking you to look closely at these FIVE pies. Three are real, two are imposters. The two imposters were purchased as a last minute, "Oh, crud! I can't let Mom make her own birthday dessert," thought. So after soccer games, we left for the farm, and walked into the farm kitchen to the smell of Mom's HOMEMADE PIE. I'm pretty sure there's no better smell. So I laughed and revealed my measly addition to the birthday celebration, and we all HAD PIE. For days.
These two have always shared a birthday week...18th and 22nd...and usually go to buy each other shoes. I guess that's what mothers and sons buy together.
Slick sent some yard sale treasures--lamp parts--home with me. Dad was quite excited. Second pic shows the part all cleaned up!
And of course, Micah was in heaven with Gator rides...
...combine-in-the-shed exploration...
...more Gator rides...
...and Uncle Ben's tractors and drills!
I don't remember how I got him away from these implements, but I remember I had to work hard to do it...his attention span for machinery far exceeds mine.
And this was the weekend that Sarah had her baby shower! She's having a little girl, and has already named her, but has only revealed the first letter: C. We are all secretly making guesses. Mom was sick with a 24 hr bug on this day, so the Lochheads and Kelly and Millie represented the Mosers on this occasion, and Grace got to play with Henry and Rori and Mills.
The sweet mama-to-be!
