Happy Birthday Jill

Yesterday I spent the day getting ready for a birthday party. That's not quiet true--I did go to town and attend a fabric painting class out at the fairgrounds--learned a lot and can't wait to try it.

Friday was my friend Jill's birthday--she, her husband Terry and their daughter Kerri joined us for dinner along with friends Nancy and Geoff. We had pork shish k-bobs, wild rice with mushrooms and almonds, tomato and mozzarella salad and a cesar salad. Nancy brought dessert, strawberry margarita mousse--so good! It was a very enjoyable evening as always with this group of friends.

Today we slept in then took a walk with Emmi--we walk, she gets carried more than she walks.

We disturbed this pair of sandhill cranes on our walk and I snapped this photo just as they were landing across the ravine from us.
Yesterday Emmi met Red, the horse.

Yesterday was cool and rainy in the morning but the evening was beautiful. Today it is much warmer and windy--sunny too.
