The Day We Went To Visit Lannis

Are you ready for it? The Lannis Visit, complete with fright wigs, steak, and pee?

I'm not. That is: this computer is not.

And now I'm remembering...

You might not be, because most of you weren't around for our last visit to Pennsylvania, and all the fun I had trying to get this computer and this modem to connect, and - if by some miracle that feat was accomplished - making it stay connected.

It started with food - as most things do for me.

Lannis - bless her heart - asked for the ultimate low-responsibility potluck item: the salad.

Then this happened:


And this:


And don't forget when the frog showed up to visit and everyone went to see:


Meanwhile, Lannis and I had fun times - the kind of fun times you have when you're a mom, a bit of a freak, and have a very strange sense of humour. Total awesomeness.

Then my daughter peed on the floor, and we went home.

The End.
