I've finally caught up after taking a couple of days off. I loved the camping stories and seeing more talents. Thankyou for the nice compliments on my dress.

We're hosting a family reunion this weekend for DH's family so I've been trying to get things prepared. Usually for the reunions people are responsible for their own food but we live too far away for that to really make sense so we're preparing all of the food. It's a bit more for us to do but it means that nobody will have to lug a bunch of food up on the train and over on the boats. My parents and BIL came yesterday so we've been spending some time visiting too. I'll be going away for a couple of weeks right after the reunion so I've also been trying to make sure that everything in the garden is ready for a bit of an absence from me. I also need to make DD1 a dress for her baptism on Saturday. I think I procrastinate too much. So I guess I need to get going.

This is for yesterday.
Best - My parents and BIL arrived safely yesterday (and brought with them a new burner for our barbeque).
Worst - It rained too much for me to be able to show my mom my garden.
Learned - When you tell DD that she can dip her toes in the water (while waiting for people to arrive on the water taxi) she figures that you mean that she can get wet up to her waist.

Speaking of DD, here's another one of my talents. I made this Kim Possible cake for her birthday last year.
