What I did remember to take to my son's birthday party. Grandma's china, the sour cream potato dish and little spoon, Twilight - so daughter in law could start reading the series again, the babies stuff they left here Sunday night, and the salad I was taking to dinner. It was raining cats and dogs, so maybe the rain washed the brain cells responsible for taking the gift. The funny part was I could not figue out why he didn't open his present when he came home from work, then it dawned on me. Oops!

Today I have a beautiful helper who, thanks to her, the house is clean for Papa Bear. She does not hire out, and she does not work for peanuts, just treats. Yeah TREATS! She won the contests! We are headed for the errands now.......t t f n
