I survived my nephew's third birthday party.  Mostly.  

To survive a child's birthday party is a feat in itself, you deserve a medal, lol.

After a lazy morning and an afternoon of tidying and cleaning I'm treating myself to an orloff roast with paprika potatoes 

Don’t forget to share the leftovers

It is such a good fish

And asparagus is still in season here (so cheap). I have had it steamed, microwaved or on the bbq. I added some to a mini quiche. I love food in season

Yes.  It was cute, because while my nephew talked about turning 3 and having a birthday party, I don't think he recognized the concept until he saw his friends from daycare showing up with presents.  I was aware of the moment it clicked into place for him due to the sudden onslaught of jumping and shrieking.

shrieking

Lol that shriek of pure delight is awesome (in small doses)

Grownups need to remind ourselves of those moments of joy

Hi Albert!  Dinner sounds great!  I love Mahi-Mahi.

Just so you know, I get my three-month checkup next week for my heart and liver.  It's always for both since my cardiac doctor wants to make sure my blood pressure medicines are not damaging the liver and are still keeping my blood pressure low.

Hi @Headstall!   Looking forward to tomorrow's chapter 15, Gary.  I am glad that you are in the stage of healing that only requires rest and good food to build strength and energy.  Take care.

Hi, @clochette!  How are you and Looping?  One suggestion so you can stay on Nicky's good side.  Try adding asparagus (the green kind) with tons of your favourite cheese sauce.

Hey, @bignick.  Don't get too upset with Clo.  She's part vampire, part wolf shifter and a fairy to boot.  She needs a lot of meat and has an aversion to leafy stuff. I think she was hinting at something green for dessert. (hint, hint, wink, wink, know what I mean?)

[raven1]

Hey @spike382!  What the hell were you thinking when you left the hobbit in care of your herd?  Hope you had fun at the Renfair.

It was a nice cool day today with a gentle breeze, the prefect do-nothing kind of day  

How about you? 

[bignick]

Is it Sunday already?!  Where did the weekend go? 

Hi, everyone!  Good morning/afternoon/evening.

Omg! You are Terryble!  Clo, you have some explaining to do.

Gary, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the room temporarily to make an announcement. I just want to tell as many people as possible. I promise not to post on Mondays, I could never compete with Bearpaw Monday.

I have been working hard and writing a new story to add to The Boot World with the help and support of a great editor/beta reader and hope that the following announcement will be received well.

The new story will start to be posted very soon, and the proposed posting for the first chapter is to be within the next 7 to 10 days.

The working title is being kept as the story title, What Happened To The Baxter Boys.

Charlie and Michael Baxter lost their father at a young age. They have been brought up by a hard-working mother who loved and treasured her boys. Unfortunately, she passed away before they finished college and through no fault of their own, they found themselves homeless. This is their story.

I hope you will all enjoy the story. My editor/beta reader has worked hard and still is, to help me bring their story to you. I hope that you will appreciate the hard work and support that @raven1 has invested in this story as much as I do.

Thanks, Man!  I love the story and am having a great time working with you.  I would have left a ❤️ reaction to this post, but the reaction button doesn't work for me today.
