A little quiet

Rain and thunder through the morning as a light shuffle of people begins...

...Yali to a birthday party at a bowling alley in Bridgeton...

...Puck back from J's to discussion Army National Guard plans and another skydiving adjustment – due to another weekend of rain coming up in the forecast – as Patience hands him a birthday gift she bought with her own money → bag of Tootsie Pops (Puck seems touched)...

...and Mamma out into the soggy lunch hour for the library and ATM...

...about the quietest day we've had in months...

...and fewer than half of the helium birthday balloons remain intact now...

About the most exciting thing that happens that day is when the bad cat bites both of Patience's arms while she obligingly runs a backscratcher across her fur early in the afternoon...

She forgets about that quickly though... preparing for Easter morning clapping her hands together eagerly with a “I will go connect a cute outfit together!”...
