It was Birthday Week at the Herald & News. Two of Joanna's co-workers celebrated turning another year older, and to show them her appreciation for their work, she promised to bake them both their own cake. Well, she had an editor seminar in Reno, NV this week, and was out of town for the birthdays. It fell to Steve to bake the cakes. Thank goodness both Amanda and Ross wanted carrot cake! Thank goodness for Channel 12 Janet. She came by and helped Steve with the cakes. We also made carrot cupcakes for a baby shower she was going to attend. She was in charge of the dry ingredients and Steve dealt with the wet ingredients and the shredding of the carrots. The above picture is of Ross making a wish before blowing out the candles.
While in Reno, Joanna was able to use her "Slot System" and won $13. She also enjoyed a traditional German meal of some sort of sausage with potato pancakes and beer and something else ending in "zntl." She had a good time, learned lots and was missed by Steve and Elvis.
The weather has turned, and spring is here. It will be close to 80 degrees a couple of times this week, and Steve's assault on dandelions resumes. Right now, the dreaded weeds have the upper hand. With the help of a weed whacker, a trowel, a bit of pesticide and some pluck, the war will be won. Joanna also plans on a return to gardening. Not one to disheartened by a complete failure of all crops last year, J-Mark has washed her grass-stained coveralls and is ready to overcome Earwigs, weeds and poor soil to grow herbs, flowers and perhaps a crop of corn. Come on down in late August and have an ear.
Little dog has not had any playmates for quite a while, but in Elvis Event of the Week , he renewed his friendship with Buddy the Beagle. The same beagle that was involved in the Thanksgiving dinner roll incident, which led to Elvis being on steroids. He sure misses Tucker and Fred!
That is all. Have a great week, and remember; don't fall down!
