Happy May

Today is May the 2nd ~ we celebrated Amy's birthday yesterday with presents and dinner at Bennett Point.  As I was getting ready, it dawned on me that I FORGOT to make Amy's favorite birthday cake (angel food with penuche frosting)!!! How could I forget?  I am making it tomorrow ~ all of us like to celebrate with several days of parties!

Today is the start of a week with no rain, so I dusted the pollen off the outdoor furniture cushions and put them on the deck and I put up the umbrella for the first time at the new house.

I think we need a second one, so Amy and I are going to Home Depot on Monday ~ to order the doors for the porch, get mulch and more stuff for the deck.  I need a couple more of big pots and some more herbs for Mom.

Last week, we all went to the Duke basketball banquet at Cameron Indoor Stadium.  It was great!  We had so much fun - the players and coaches all spoke - some were funny and some were so touching - who knew Coach K was hilarious?

Coach K and the entire Duke team

Duke faithful ~ Jesse, Jim, Maren and Lori.

Mom, Lori and Amy are downstairs watching a movie ~ we just ate pizza and watched the Kentucky Derby.  It is always fun to pick the horses and look at the hats.

Time to take the dogs out!
Love, Leslie
