Everything is soaking-wet-clean and all sparkly-shimmery this morning from an all-night rain with beautiful blue skies and bright sun overhead.  The slightest breeze blows gentle droplets into the bright-light air like a natural misting tent.  Happy birds vex Sandy-the-dog and the carnations, heavy with with moisture, are perfuming the sunny morning.

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out

I’ve got something I can laugh about

I feel good, in a special way

I’m in love and it’s a sunny day

Today Guini has Kindergarten graduation.  Can’t wait to surprise her with balloons and flowers.  And?  It’s a “cake day,” which means something different for me than other people.  Today I will begin work on Gemma May’s 3-tier lemon-poppy-seed cake (to be filled with lemon-curd creme) for her 4th birthday.  Though her actual birthday is Monday, we shall celebrate on Sunday at the park.  Plus, tomorrow is Stephanie’s 29th birthday and also, according to Harold Camping, rapture and judgement day – which is really going to stink if I get good and going on this cake and then it goes to waste.

Had an amazing deluxe pedicure and session with a reflexologist last night with my 3rd Thursday buds, followed by the Steak-Gorgonzola-Alfredo at The Olive Garden last night.  On the way home a radio station played 3 Beetles songs in a row and my feet still feel like dancing this morning at the thought of it.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
PSALM 19 NIV

Plus Dave said Averi called me last night just to talk while I was gone.  That is a good message to get!  Can’t wait to see my little Averi-kins and all the granbebes this weekend!  I was born for this.
