Nice Walk in the Nice Sunshine



The sun has been tricking us.  It was warm for a little, now it's cold again.  But we took advantage of the sunny day and went for a walk.  It was stressful without Riley.  There are many trails to choose from and I don't them all.  Sandy got chased by a big black dog and scared a runner running by.  I don't think I will do that by myself again.  

Stick Fight



Adam tried to cart around a long stick, or limb, and Sandy thought it was for her.  They both really like sticks.  Neither of them like to share.

More Castings

Mia Sara as my aunt Nell.   I've always thought they look SO similar. 
As a kid, I always thought my uncle Joel looked like the cowardly lion.  Not Bert Lahr, who plays the lion, but just the lion himself.

Casting Call

I got this idea from my friend, Lani.  You pick celebrities who would be cast in a movie about your family.  It's kind of fun.  Now I keep thinking about who everyone looks like.  I think these are pretty good matches.  I pick Sally Fields to play my mom.
Lindsay Lohan as my sister Brandalyn.  
Ethan Hawke as my brother-in-law, Gregory.
Sarah Chalke as my sister, Elise.
Vin Diesel as my husband, Riley.
And finally, Maggie Gyllenhall, as me.  Elise, help me out with Torye and Steve.  Maybe I'll try to do Riley's family and my kids later.

Basket Cake

Here's another look at the cake.  Not too close though.  It's not as good close up.  It's supposed to be a loaf of bread and an apple inside.  Must use imagination.  And cute Amy.
