Hello, Readers.
We are celebrating Natalie's 25th birthday tonight,
so this blog will be short and sweet.
Sweet like our Natalie.
It's been a long week of baseball.
The last two night we were playing away at fairly distant schools,
so we didn't roll in until close to 10:30 pm.
We went out to dinner after tonight's game
and read Natalie all of your birthday wishes
sent through text messages,
Instagram,
and facebook.
Natalie thanks all of you
and sends you each
her favorite words of general encouragement--
"Good job!"
Sent in both spoken and signed versions, of course.
Natalie wasn't the only birthday girl this week.
Meet the newest member of our family.
It's a girl and her name is Canon SX70.
She has a 65 optic zoom
and 24 mega pixels.
I've barely had a minute at home,
let alone time to look through her instruction book,
so it will be a few days before camera photos
are blogworthy--
the highest achievement earned
by all Eloise's snapshots.
A note to any locals who are interested in joining me
at my home on Saturday, May 20th,
6:00-8:00 pm
for the Lamp Posts first Book discussion.
Book Share.
Book Swap.
Book Hug.
I really don't know what to call it.
I know what I don't want to call it--
its not a CLUB.
Eloise dislikes clubs.
Maybe it's this:
Anything But a Book Club.
We'll talk about good books we've read,
share a little about them--
not enough to give away the ending,
but just enough to entice someone
to give the book a whirl themselves.
You don't have to physically have the book with you--
just give us the title and the author.
Eloise will keep the list.
Eloise loves lists.
No RSVP.
No night you have to set aside once a month.
No apologies if you can't make it.
No politics.
No gossip.
Yes to fun.
Yes to idea.
Yes to inspiration.
Yes, yes, yes to every Ink Drinker
and
Lover of the Page.
Do bring a chair--we'll be outside.
Do wear a jacket.
Do park in the winery if my driveway gets full.
Do come with an open mind,
and most of all,
an open heart.
And if it works,
we'll do it again sometime.
Until next week,
Eloise
