On the morning of October 25th Valerie & I headed out to a 4-H fundraiser ... But not before a big old breakfast at Morning Thunder with Madelyn & her mom too.
Excuse me, I ordered a LARGE??
Michael & I surprised her by swinging by the pet store & letting her pick out a couple of rat buddies. She went for the males this time.
The albino is named Sardines and the hooded blue is Big Savings. They are so small and only a month old now. But these guys will get twice as big as Cookies & Cream were.
Valerie, Natalie & Amira with pocket pets.
A gaggle of teens!! Valerie, Ruth, Natalie, Madelyn & Briar.
Valerie got a gluten free Marion berry pie from the Sweet Cottage. I could eat this every day!!! This purchased pie followed an entire scratch meal by request: chicken cordon bleu, kahlua yams & spinach salad with warm bacon vinegrette. I didn't even feel guilty about buying that pie.
We had everyone line up tallest to smallest. Valerie is only just barely shorter than me. The rest of the girls are crazy tall!
After a long night doing whatever it is that teen girls do, they came together for doughnuts.
Remember when we could eat those without the side effects?
Later in the day Natalie & my kids took the rats outside to carve jack-o-lanterns.
That evening we went to Susan & John's house where they cooked up a meal and baked a cake for a combo Valerie-Alligator birthday. Look at that cake! My hat is off to Susan!
Happy Birthday Alligator!
