Photos from Saturday and...

Hi Mom and family

Here are the photos from Saturday which I was unable to post yesterday because I forgot to bring my camera to Starbuck's:

My alarming heat rash from where my jeans rubbed against sweaty legs from my ten-mile walk in the heat: (My leg is not swollen like it looks, it's just the fore-shortening effect of the camera).

Saturday morning I took these photos of the new shade roof which Dale Sr. and his friend Dennis Tresness built while I was gone Friday. Dennis was back again early Saturday, and they put the tar-paper on the roof of it. Dale Jr. came over to ride down to the baby shower with us.

And here's some of the party:

The father-to-be is modeling a cowboy hat which someone crocheted for the baby.

I got a kick out of this little girl playing with all of the tissue paper:

I was tired yesterday because I did not sleep well at all Saturday night. Too much ice tea at that baby shower. Also, I keep worrying about the drama club performance, and that I'm not making any progress on organizing the house.

I really enjoyed the new shade cover over the cooking area out in the back yard, when I was watering the plants back there yesterday. I sat in the shade and ate one of the last few oranges, enjoying being out there with the plants and the sound of the water running on them.

My music jam was held at the home of one of the members who is going back to Wyoming soon. I've grown fond of him over the year that he's been coming. There were only four of us there and it wasn't as lively as it sometimes is. Maybe it was just that I'd had so little sleep the night before.

Love,
Lennie
