It's a Boy!!

There has been so much life going on lately it's been impossible to keep up.....  Zachary and Candice had a party at their house last week to revel the gender of their baby.  The cake gave us the word and the cake was blue!  I can't wait to meet my little nephew in early September.  Zachary and Candice are already wonderful parents.  
 
Tears of joy!!  Zachary was strutting around on cloud 9, pleased as punch with himself.  
 
First gender specific gift.

 
We had to wear the color of the gender we were guessing, pink or blue.  Kyle broke out a pink shirt for occasion.  Evangeline thought it was pretty darn funny. 
 
Let's see, what else...I celebrated my 34th birthday a few weeks ago.  It was a dandy as all birthdays are.  I'm grateful for my life and the people in it.  I love my family, my friends, my job, my town.  Everyday is a gift.  My heart is so full.
 
This was one of the pretty roses in the arrangement I received from Wayne and Karen.  It reminds me of a type of rose that grew in my friend Callie's yard when we were kids.  It was called the Lucille Ball.  I was in the height of my obsession with the old Nick at Night shows, I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dike, etc.  I loved how the orange rose was named for Lucy.  
 
Roy gave us some Mid-West Caviar.  Oh yeah, babe.  The smell of fried mushrooms hung in our house for days.  
 
 
Speaking of woodsy things..... I had a brush with Lyme's disease the other week.  After an inflamed tick bite, swollen lymph nodes, 4 viles of blood drawn, some antibiotics, a few discussions with the doc, a couple trips to the medical center, and a lot of worrying, my test results came back negative, thank God.  What a relief.  Another thing to feel grateful about.  I read up on Lyme's and it can be a nasty illness.  The ticks are very bad this year.  We will be taking precautions.
