You May Attend a Party Where Strange Customs Prevail II

Tomorrow Allison, Eva and I are attending the birthday party of our good friend’s son Matty. Matty is turning 1 year old. At first when I got this repeat fortune for today’s FortunateBluFrog fortune I was disappointed. I am not a fan of getting repeat fortunes but I guess if you open up one every day then you are bound to get repeats. I would have thought I’d have gotten more variety in the 3 dozen cookies I bought. However, This weekend I should have some brand new ones because the ones at home are from another batch.

Okay, back to the 1 year old’s birthday party. A birthday party for a kid that small is strange. We had one for Eva and will have one for all future kids of course. However, at 1 a kid’s birthday party is really one for the parents and the people who attend. There certainly are great customs like that 1st piece of cake.

For Eva her 1st cupcake was a huge deal, I video taped it and it was so cute. She made a huge mess and loved it. It wasn’t as epic as her 1st ice cream from Dairy Queen however. Now that, that was epic. (BTW We didn’t win the Dairy Queen Sweet Deals contest.) The winner was a someone with a creative letter to Dairy Queen. I thought that cute kid would trump all. I was wrong, DQ likes letters instead, wacky pun filled letters.

Apparently today is tangent day. I’m off all over the place. Anyway the point is that birthday parties for small kids have strange customs, birthday parties for pets are even stranger. However, any excuse for a party is a good one.

Tonight I went to a meeting for the Ten Mile River Watershed Council. Check out the website. See it, well, I am going to be taking care of getting this great group a better face for the web.

I’ve done a few great paddles with TMRWC and they have been awesome. Keith, the head of the TMRWC, is so full of information and knowledge of the history of the Ten Mile River and surrounding cities and towns. I want to help him share that knowledge and passion for paddling and history on the TMRWC website.

I was AV boy at the meeting tonight. Keith had slides to present and I ran the slideshow. I also recorded his speech and I’ll see about matching it up with his slides because the light was terrible.

Speaking of light, the sun and sky was amazing. The Church where we had the meeting was next to a cemetery and it looked really awesome through the windows. Those pictures didn’t come out that good but I ran outside a little too late to get to the cemetery. I did see how the light looked through the trees and loved it. So I tried to frame it up between a straight edge on the left and the branches on the right. So, what do you think?
