There was a cleaning frenzy at the house today.
We were hosting the birthday cake party for Kelli’s mother and son. I cut all the grass and trimmed all the edges, and everything was looking good. We even borrowed a bubble making machine from a friend, and the weather was going to be kind to us.
It was the second day where we didn’t have to work in the garage, a rare treat.
There was concern that the frog hadn’t been seen for a couple of days, but Kelli caught sight of, what looked like a smaller one. We weren’t sure how that could be, but we went on with our preparations. Later I caught sight of the smaller version, it moved very quickly and disappeared into the depths of the pond, very strange.
The appointed hour came and the birthday people arrived. The bubbles were pumping out of the machine and going in all directions, it certainly was different, and I expect the neighbours were puzzled when all these coloured objects flew passed their windows.
Matt, Kelli’s brother couldn’t make it due to sickness, so his wife Brenda came along with their new Schnauzer, a puppy so small that we had larger balls of fluff under our bed. Well this little critter stole the show, even our dogs were intrigued at its size, and they didn’t try to eat it.
So the highlight of the event was the serving of the cake, however this time it was cheesecake, and because not many were able to join in, there was more for me, not bad for a bit of grass cutting.
