Mixing Things up on a Thursday

Brain cancer is...

...enjoying great variety in activities.

The other day Summer lugged home the above piece of wood during her walk.  She saw a piece of art in the making.  Today Darrell gave her a lesson in using a circular saw to trim it down.  Now we have another power tool to love!

Meanwhile, Hallie, Andi, and Ruth enjoyed lattes and breakfast at Classic Rock Coffee.

Yes, the above photo was taken in a room with black lighting.  Classic rock indeed!

Additionally, I made a new friend.

This is Ruth.  She and I have chatted informally at the salon in the past once we discovered our common Wisconsonian roots and love for the Packers.  (Remember, Kristine?) Today we became official friends and discovered all those amazing connections that turn up on happy days.  Two fun facts: 

• Ruth's grandfather owned the building that now holds the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, which we visited last month.
• Ruth tap dances with a dance team through her association with CSUF's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).  

What fun!  Okay, back to work.

Happy Thursday!
