• Tonight was the May celebration at Mom’s house, honoring several
  birthdays, an anniversary, and Charles’ high school graduation tomorrow
  night. In anticipation for that, the house was readied:

  

  Texas Tech flags now fly both in front and back.  ;^)

  

  Courtesy of Dmitry, a photo of Charles opening his gift sack from Don
  and me (he was particularly intrigued by the Texas Tech auto
  emblem…hmmm!  Is this a clue???), and me with the newly hacked
  hair.  That’s Jessica chatting with her nephew, Benjamin.

  

  Mom talking with Jessica’s eldest, Kirsten, who turned 12 earlier this month. 

  

  The hit of the dinner was Mom’s homemade chocolate sauce, using Helen
  Corbett’s recipe of thirty years ago.  It was quite distressingly
  good.  Wicked good.  Unnecessarily good.  To the point
  the precious tot on the left up there actually resorted to violence to get more of it!

  

  Marebear’s mom wasn’t paying attention to her pleas for a second
  helping of “ice keem and sauce” so she felt the need to give her a whap
  on the arm.

  Auntie Anne got her some more. 

  

  Our two photohogs . . . they simply adore having their picture taken, the silly billies.

  

  Dmitry laughing at something or other.

  Tomorrow night . . . The Graduation!
