Timing is everything. I happened to be walking by the pond when the bell tower bonged. So, I stopped, and breathed and enjoyed the fountain in the pond. Do you know, the ripples from the fountain go almost but not quite to the edge of the pond? I wonder why they stop.

I wore clothes again.

And we had a birthday party. DaBaby chose a very healthy dinner: waffle fries and chicken nuggets. And she put the candles on her own cake. She turned 7 while we were all sleeping. It’s bittersweet watching the last one.
