Cereal for a Potluck?

More Cold Rain.

Ahhhhh, the joys of Tokyo in the Spring. And this COULD last until July. It did last year.

Yay! ANother Potluck!

So Noodle came home with a note today that said:

"Choir Celebration and Mini-Concert"
"Award Ceremony"
"Dinner & Fellowship"
"Mini-Concert"

For Christ's Sake! This is the project that wouldn't die!

"Bring your family"
"Potluck!"

They reel you in...

And then, the catch!...

"Please bring a dish...blah, blah, blah...last names beginning with E ~ M please bring a Main Dish"

Guess who's an "E ~ M".

Tater's in Norfolk this week so we've been eating cereal for dinner - do you think that counts? I can just bring a large box of Lucky Charms and a gallon of milk?

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

So yesterday, Dillon and I were in the car on the way to the commissary when we saw a young girl (about 6 or 7) chasing her dog down the street. She kept yelling at him and every time she got close, he would run off. And then he was running out into the 4-way stop where we were sitting and she started to sound frantic, so I pulled over (nowhere to park) and asked D to get out and help her. So he jogged across the street and asked if she needed some help and she just said, "No, we let him out all the time" (obviously not dealing with rocket scientists here). Then he said, "Well, do you want me to help you get him back?" She just looked at him and said, "No, my daddy doesn't like you."

Poor D. He came back to the car, his feelings all hurt. We didn't even know that kid. But her Daddy doesn't like D - we do know that much.
