Happy Anniversary to my parents! My Mom and Dad have been married for 55 years, can you believe it? In lieu of flowers, I will type these words. I love you two!! (Pastor John Meyer sends his regards to you guys. I saw him at Wal*Mart and he asked how long you had been married. I knew it was 55 years but was flustered and couldn’t remember when the 28th was. “It’s 55 years this weekend.” See relevant goof below.
Happy Birthday to Beth! I believe she turns 41 today. In lieu of doing something fun with you, I will go camping. (Sorry. I have not been clear on the dates and days lately. See relevant goof above.)
Happy rehydration to these raisins! We had Raisin Bran for breakfast and I told the children how I hated raisins as a child, despite never actually eating one. As an adult, I tried them and loved them! (That is a lie. I tolerate raisins.) Anyway, we talked about how they are dried grapes and decided to try an experiment to re-hydrate them. After six hours, they plumped up rather a lot. In lieu of eating them, I will gag a little.
Happy Friday to the rest of you!

In lieu of a relevant comment, I will post this link:

Wait… maybe that is sort of relevant. It is a picture of tents, and that’s camping, which you are planning to do.
Happy Birthday, Beth! Happy Anniversary, Lauren’s parents!

For as long as I can remember, whenever my grandma makes oatmeal (or anything with raisins) she soaks them overnight in warm water. It does make things taste better instead of the hard, chewy rock-ness of a regular raisin.
Happy Birthday BETH!!!

Gross Alert!… If you think about it, re-hydrated raisins look a lot like overly gorged ticks on a dog… I warned you this would be gross. I gag too.

Thanks!
That is like Dad’s plum tree. He calls it a Stanley prune tree. He makes wonderful jelly. I call it plum jelly. No way would I eat prune jelly!
