Blurbs of thought | A full day and friends

Today is Kevin and Jakobe's birthday.  Kevin's big 30, and Jakobe's golden {23 on the 23rd}.  Got to chat with Jakobe for a little bit, it's always fun to talk to him.

Made little stoves out of an energy drink can with the Cub Scouts this morning.  Brian and Elizabeth came with me, and B was excited to make one too.

Had a great time at the Ann Arbor Art Fair with E and Nichole!  As always, I loved spending time with Nichole.  I also found that I have really come to love and appreciate oil paintings.  I hope to be able to do some for myself some day.

Had a huge umbrella blow right into me at the Art Fair.  I was just talking to B on the phone, then heard a little commotion so I turned my head.  That's when I saw a huge umbrella come straight for me.  It hit me hard on the side of my face, and then went over me.  I was dazed, and went and sat down while Nichole got me ice.  I have a nice scratch on the side of my face near my eye, and I am sure I will have a nice bruise.  It really jarred me.

We had a lovely dinner with our friends Erkan and Elif this evening.  They are moving to California tomorrow.  They are such good friends, and adore Elizabeth.

When walking across the parking lot to our car, a car didn't stop for us.  Elizabeth also decided to run ahead, and I have never been so grateful to see her fall.  Her fall prevented her from running in front of the car.  So grateful for the angels that watch over her!
