24 OCT 25

It's a cold sun cracking out another October morning,..

Patience is busy taping her dance shoes in a new style...

Puck is researching 100% Australian sheepskin seat covers for the Lincoln...

And Oxbear and Yali are meeting one of Yali's best pals at the Zoo for a day of high energy and Chick-fil-A...

Afternoon sends Patience to the kitchen to mix cake batter... discovering that the oven has spontaneously switched itself from Fahrenheit to Celsius...

While Mama proofs all documents for downtown feises that weekend... and slathers four layers of tanner on Patience's legs because tanned legs eventually became a staple in the unexpected world of Irish dance...

As Patience spreads chocolate frosting on the cake with a paint trowel...

A milky dusk returns the boys from their galavanting...

Drive south to Fenton to check out Francis' and S's new build in a few tapping raindrops... a beast in the hills and looking fine... signature piece resting in muted autumn shades...

Then the B's home for Papa John's... where siblings swap goofy Facebook Market finds and discuss topics like the Black Death and burials on personal property... before a few rounds of Scattergories... about the time Sally declares... “I do not have guano in my eye make-up!”... it's nearly eleven and time to scoot home...
