  1. Nope, I suggested that he write the notes, but Max came up with the words on his own.
  2. The House of Contemplation Cira, day of rhythm and learning Brightwake to Duskgold The days after Auryn blurred like soft ink in water. Bread was baked. Tea was poured. Ailin laughed once—suddenly, like a dropped plate—and didn’t apologize. Jaren began sleeping through to Solrise, head resting on folded arms. Cedric regarded them both with a strange quiet in his eyes. Then, on Cira morning, Lysander set down a letter with no seal and said only, “I think it’s time you saw a
  3. The brownies are currently cooling in the kitchen. The eggs for the devils are also on ice, but we'll wait until tomorrow before assembling them. Also, Max is working on some handwritten notes to include, which was my suggestion. One note says: "This is already my favorite date ever." Another one: "The only thing better than brownies? You" Gaaahh!! It's too cute!
  4. The picnic menu: Deviled eggs Mini sandwiches Potato chips Cream cheese dip with veggies Antipasto salad skewers Frosted brownies Lemonade
  5. He's thirteen now. It's amazing how quickly time passes.
  6. Oh, dear. Well! It seems that Max and his friend Michael had an interesting development while I wasn't looking. Apparently, Max popped the question to Michael and asked if Michael would be his boyfriend. Michael responded by asking for permission to kiss Max, and Max said yes. Yes, yes, they did have an awkward kiss at that one sleepover some time ago. But that was just the result of silly adolescent hormones and too much caffeine. This is the real thing. My son's best friend has been upgraded to "Boyfriend" status. They're now planning their first date: a picnic in the park behind the public library.
  7. I definitely prefer romance over action films. If my choices were between: 1. The smoldering burn of Jake and Devon in the "Chucky" TV series. (Action/Horror/Comedy) 2. A very sweet film about first love, titled "Young Hearts". There's no question that I would choose the romance film over the campy comedy-thriller, every time! That said, though, there's a startling lack of representation for LGBT kids or teens in fantasy and science fiction novels. That's what I'd like to see added to the shelves!
  8. I like the idea of "Meatless Monday". I've been implementing it at least two or three times a month. That would never hold water with my father, who has...outdated ideas about how eating meat = masculine. 🤦‍♂️
  9. Pickleball court.
  10. Which court would that be? Texas? They have no jurisdiction outside of Texas.
  11. I'm saving this as evidence that you're a bridge-dwelling troll.
  12. Currently, my family is still on holiday in Washington state. I just learned about an incident at the local "Mart of Walls" in our hometown. I'm just writing to say that I heard from a relative, and nobody in our extended family was hurt.
  13. I recently learned of a cookbook which is scheduled to be released in October. It's being written by a Danish teenager. Max said that he's very cute.
  14. I have too many cookbooks as it is.
  15. We've been having similar issues over in Headstall's Paddock. Random comments---and once, an entire page---disappear for a while. Then, they pop up again as mysteriously as they disappeared. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it.
  16. He said they were very tasty. We also visited Dahlia Bakery in Seattle. (Our local library has a copy of their cookbook.)
  17. Tomorrow's our last day of vacation. We saw the Olympic National Forest, Seattle and Tacoma, Mt. Rainier...Oh, and can’t forget about the whales. We ate lunch one day at Von's 1000 Spirits, a gastropub with pizzas and burgers. Max, of course, couldn't leave the city without trying some oysters.
  18. Hey, Tea Bat! I'm enjoying a blend called Ruby Beach. Assam tea leaves, Pacific Northwest Peppermint, Washington cherries, and lemon peel.
  19. Just make sure it's the right kind of bad---not the kidnappers from Taken. Unless you have a kink for that. 👀
  20. We'll be staying until the 26th.
