The children came back into the room, and Paige wanted to play a tune on her lute for her Mother...  She had been practicing a lot, and was getting very good...  Many gathered round the dessert table....  Jude was fitting in nicely with the family....  And Baron was doing his best to make Rosie feel comfortable again....   Meanwhile, Ringo was showing off his sword....  ...and the younger girls were getting acquainted with Shadow...

Today, April 15th, is the anniversary of the opening of the very first McDonald's, in Des Plaines, Illinois, way back in 1955. So Chloe and Effie thought they'd go treat themselves for dinner.....  "There's park over there, where we can go eat our dinner..."  So they sat down on a park bench....and Chloe unpacked her bag....   "I love these burgers..."  'Me too, but my favourite is their fries..."  Smuzhka Raccoon was just relaxing reading a book...  It was April 15th, 'Husband Appreciation Day', and Ginger wanted to show him some love.... "Would you like a foot stool?"  ...and she took his jacket to hang up in the closet....  "I brought a nice soft pillow for your feet...."  "Some slippers to keep your feet warm?"  Smuzhka just wanted to get back to his book...  "I baked you some pie. It's still warm from the oven..."  Ginger grabbed her basket and put on her shawl....  'I'm going to the store, and will be back in a little while..."  'Finally, I can finish my book without any more interruptions', thought Smuzhka.  April 14th is 'World Marbles Day'....  "Look at this one..."        My five guys getting to know each other. From the left; FIDs Lawrence & Baron, SJ Jude, FIDs Eden and Rex....            Today, April 12th, is 'Big Wind Day', and even though it was raining....  ....it was way too windy for an umbrella...   Finally all the guests had arrived...and everyone started to gather round the dessert table...         When her sisters arrived, Bianca introduced Yvette's new beau, Eden....   They chatted for a while...    He seemed to be a very nice young man....  It was very windy, so Jan had to keep fixing the map each time it started blowing away...  My back pain was really acting up, so I thought I'd try taking a photo just sitting on the ground....  ...but then the dolls weren't low enough against the 'horizon' for forced perspective to work, so they still looked like 'dolls'. So I had to get even lower, and lie down, so the entire set up would be higher against the background, with Owen's head well above the horizon....  |
