Picture this . . .

So, I had a birthday last month

and my friend Melanie had a cookout for me and we ate this cake. (It was excellent--the cookout and the cake.) She also made ribs, which my friend Stu partook of his way to New Orleans from Richmond at 1 am. 

He enjoyed them very much. And I made him some chocolate coffee so he could keep going, and I gave him the gossip about my next door neighbor.

Who was insane, and who has been evicted. We had this whole Law and Order scenario, and it was actually very intense and nerve-wrecking, and I can't really describe it with this lackadaisical voice. So that will be in another post, maybe. Needless to say that we (me and my neighbors Maggie and Jim) were all disturbed and upset. Maggie seriously needed to unwind after all the drama.

I, of course, just knit a rug out of my old clothes in order to calm myself.

And that's all my pictures, so that's pretty much all my story, too.
