Great work to all my guessers!  Thanks for playing!

Packing

Tomorrow I will leave the field to head for convention preparations.  That means today is full of last-minute packing.

Fleece looks bewildered.  "Is it all going to fit in here?!"

Better get back to work!

Jennifer's 40th birthday celebration (a little early)

A while back Rose came up with the idea to have a potluck picnic for the field.  Though Jennifer's 40th birthday isn't until September 1, this would be our last chance to celebrate it together.  Since Jennifer was in Michigan until the day before the picnic, it wasn't too hard to keep the birthday part a secret.  Due to a very high heat index, we moved to an indoor location - two homes kindly provided.  It was a lovely day.  Here are a few pictures.

I was so glad Mom and Dad could come.

Then Karmen appeared as well!  Yeah for nice surprises!

Hope your 4th of July was happy.  Rose and I spent Sunday night with Rob and Andrea Vail and their four children.  I must say, it was a very blog-worthy stay.  Lots of activity!  I'll let the pictures do the talking.
