At 11:30 this morning, Mom dropped me off at BHS on her way to a town meeting about public transit. Mr. Meador showed me the new science wing and the even more elaborate fine arts building. Then he treated me to lunch in the cafeteria. I also got to see Mr. Baird, who's retiring after this year, and Mrs. Henderson.

Tiff and her family drove up for a birthday dinner. I had requested pineapple upside-down cake, and Mom made a chicken dish to precede it that she had enjoyed at a restaurant. It turned out very well. The kids were extremely polite, even trying to eat chicken legs with a knife and fork. After dinner they went up to play in the attic and asked me to come with them. They had found my old Legos and wanted me to make a spaceship for them according to the directions.
