The wall is up. All of the black-and-white floor tiles are down. I dearly wish I could come up with four more, but the pattern has been discontinued. For now it's bare. If I get time I'll patch in the parquet tiles I bought as a sort of accent. It should look okay.

For now, it's good enough to let people use it, so attention has duly been turned to making the rest of the house presentable for the family gathering tomorrow.

I hope the weather is nice. Today we had scattered thundershowers, which canceled Danny's baseball game, but I did take a break to take the kids downtown for the community festival. They got to ride a "train" and pet a baby alligator. There were many lollipops. We had umbrellas. It was a pretty good day.

One of these days I'll get pictures uploaded.

This is an event so momentous that it deserves its own entry.

At 8:30 this morning, my husband was outside mowing the lawn.

It's not the fact that he's doing something productive, it's the miracle that he's doing something productive before noon.
