Watermelon, then a nap

Today Kathleen brought home a watermelon and Emily.

Strawberry Angels

At this posting, there is no word as to where the monthly Ladies Who Lunch event was called to order yesteday. Kathleen had mentioned the Cafe Latte, and since it was her birthday, she probably got her way. Kathleen's out of the house at the moment in order to collect Emily for the day, leaving the trailboss to suss the forensics. Only clue was a camera containing two images: 1) a pair of ladies and 2) a cake. Hmm. With no crumb residue or sugar spatter detectable in the suspect's kitchen, it appears the strawberry-laden marvel was simply wistfully admired from afar for its inherent seductive and aesthic wonderment, and not actually purchased as a late birthday take-home. Darn. But that being the case, we exhibit it here, along with the image of Kathleen and her good friend M'liss, believed to be snapped by a willing, well-tipped waiter.

Flowering crab in bloom

Our flowering crab on the corner of the house is in bloom and it makes us very excited. Here's a walk around the neighborhood Stan took this morning with George Handel.

Flowers, ribs and cake

Kathleen's birthday plans. . .

Katie discusses her plans for her birthday today. Two minutes.

Could you hit this window?

We're home today, cooling our jets, because we are expecting a delivery from UPS.

Last night a computer called and said "this product must be signed for" and told us to expect the UPS delivery "between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m."

We anticipate yet another on-time delivery.

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's Beverly Rolfsrud's 88th Birthday today.

Congratulations Breck and Mitchell

Steve and Nancy Rolfsrud write:
Dear Trailboss:
Here's some news from tropical southern Minnesota:
Bailey Breck Rolfsrud is engaged to marry Mitchell Wallerstedt! They just got engaged an hour or so ago. (Mitch had previously requested permission of us so it was not entirely a surprise.)
A little bit about the engaged couple:
Breck just finished her first year at Hamline Law School.
Mitch is a graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato with a double major in computer management information systems and philosophy (no such combination in any previous Rolfsrud that we know of).
Mitch is employed by Minnesota State University, Mankato in the IT department as a Desktop Support Specialist, Information Technology Specialist II, which means he knows a lot more about computers than the rest of us.
He recently was recognized for his stellar work efforts by receiving the 2008 Achievement Award (which even came with some additional compensation).
Steve and Nancy are both excited about the announcement.
No wedding date has been set.

We are presently negotiating. . .

Katie Kam is presently in negotiations with noted composer and pianist Steven Letnes for the use of his music in Katie Kam soundtracks. We shall keep you informed of licensing developments as soon as he answers the phone.
