So, it was a two for one - celebrating Alex's (oops) 17th birthday and Mother's Day celebration for Ramah - mother of four….

Here's rimsky on the lawn - he's nine - a pretty good boy, unless something is left on the counter - in his life time, he's had probably 80 sticks of butter. Once he ate the whole Thanksgiving turkey - or most of it - we didn't tell the rest of the family until after the "feast” hee hee.
