It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...
Perhaps the greatest thing about my birthday - was the simple and satisfying eclair cake made by my wonderful wife! Mmmmmm! 
This was a great week - and though it has gotten a bit colder it is still a much warmer, calmer, and dryer winter than we would be having in UT so we are grateful. 
On Saturday we went inside the White House! We weren't allowed to bring a single thing so I have no picture evidence. It was a neat experience and one that was (maybe) worth the wait! After the White House tour and some lunch we went to the Native American Smithsonian. It was perhaps one of our favorites thus far. Kassie actually looks like one of the natives!
It was my birthday this week - and Kassie thoughtfully purchased a 2 Terabyte hard drive! Wahoo! Now we have no worries about backing up everything. It was a great birthday present, and I has/am super grateful.
what a happy face:)! Wish we could've been there for some of that eclair cake. We love you both and look forward to seeing what you make for Kassie. Love, Nicki
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, eclair cake. LEftovers?
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a happy day brother. Love you!
I love our external hard drive--although it's not a 2 Terabyte! Exciting times with technology. Glad to chat with you for a minute today and really excited to see you guys in a couple weeks! Ryan
