Quackers, Prom, and Strawberry Pie

A Night Under the Stars....

As I write this, my students are finishing their Prom, A Night Under the Stars, and getting ready for a fun evening of After-Prom, A Night in Vegas. I went to the Grand March... what beautiful young people... I know they were having fun... Catch the "ride" for one young couple.... Reminds me of a Midwest version of Cinderella's carriage... Notice how her formal matches the cab???? cool, huh? Missouri-style....

My mom and I called up two of my dear friends today to go for a "Saturday Road Trip..." It just so happened to be one of their birthdays, so our favorite restaurant was wonderful and whipped us all up a tray of these pretty strawberry pies.... Delish!!!

Of course, the day was made complete by a visit to the lake to have a little conversation with my geese and ducks... This is Quackerack... and his buddy Hank.. They are part of the park Maintenance department.. I know this because they are ALWAYS beside the big green trash cannister.......

.................. ...................and below we have my favorite, Dartha... She is losing her winter's color and preparing for that drabber shade of brown she wears for the summer.... She was hiding in the tall grass for the first part of our visit, and I so wanted my friends to meet her... I mentioned her distinctive little red face, her wobbly walk... and when I said she wagged her little ducky tail constantly, she was spotted and rooted out... Good old Dartha... she's my gal.

Tomorrow is Sunday, so enjoy your families and your sweet fellowship with those you love!!! This is the day the Lord has made! So we will rejoice and be glad in it... one of my favorite verses ever... Take care... and if you get a chance to have some strawberry pie, I say GO for it!!!!!
