Today was Katie’s (my favorite niece that isn’t really a niece) birthday. Oh, to be 27 years-old again. Honestly, I’m not sure I’d go back that far even if I had the chance. I’d rather start over with a bit more experience under my belt and already on the other side of some pretty dumb mistakes.
the party
We had a small party at her house to celebrate her special day. Her parents sold this same house around 4-years ago and when it came back on the market, Katie bought it. My granddaughter is pretty happy about that. If she takes one thing after me, it’s her love of water. I saw her feet more than her head today. 🙂
She and Ari (Jerilyn’s granddaughter) love hanging out together and both were devastated when the the first crack of thunder ran them inside. Ari cried and Coco pouted and both of them blamed Jerilyn… like the rain was all her fault.
the 80’s house
Of course, we’re still in the process of attempting to sell the 80’s house. In the meantime, we’re spending a lot of time in the sunroom and the dogs are making us crazy. Perry spends the majority of his time just like this — looking down at one hound or the other with a scowl.
TIL (Today I Learned): James Caan improvised scenes while filming The Godfather. He broke the FBI character’s camera after getting genuinely heated. From his upbringing, he instinctively pulled out money to pay for the damages and walked away.
