• A quiet weekend here.

  Let's see here....yesterday Dmitry went to spend the day with Carolyn
  (big surprise!), Jonathan stopped by to pick up a new computer he'd
  mistakenly had sent here (photo of him below), while Dan and Joe took
  Max to the park and otherwise passed the time.  Last night after dinner
  they decided to replace the radio in Joe's car (they couldn't see the
  interior lights properly in the daytime, Dan explained when I pointed
  out most people prefer to do that sort of thing when the sun's out, so
  they don't need flashlights).

  You know how one thing leads to another?  Well, they got the radio in
  alright, and it was working, but then the windows wouldn't go back up
  and the a/c didn't work.  Hmmmm.   Not a good trade, just to have a new
  radio.  They worked on it and worked on it and worked on it, finally deciding to drive around for a few minutes to see if inspiration would strike.

  Which it did!  "Maybe," Dan mused, "it's a fuse?"  So they replaced fuses and everything worked as it was supposed to.

  Well, until this afternoon, when I saw them at it again.  Apparently
  they got it mended, for they took Max and headed off to visit Viktor. 
  Dmitry left this morning with Carolyn's family for the Irish Festival
  over in Dallas, so who knows when he'll return home. 

  Mid-afternoon Jessica and Kirstin brought their children over so Don
  and I could take Bethany and Benjamin to choose birthday bicycles.  Don
  hadn't seen Bryson in a while, or Brianna either, so we invited them to
  come along.  To our pleasure, Jessica brought Bridgette over so we
  could finally see her!  It's been two months, and she's grown like a
  weed.

  

  First, above is the aforementioned photo of Jonathan, who's listening
  to his father; and here's his father with Bridgette, with Jessica in
  the background:

  Brianna was eager for a bike as well, but since our van won't hold four children and three bicycles, she's going to have a wait a little while.  ;^)
