Grillin' and Happy Birthday, Sam!

 Today is Sam's eighth birthday. Julie took the kids down to Houston for a big birthday bash with Sam's cousin Avery, who is celebrating her eighth birthday today also. They were going horseback riding. Cate reminded me that she went to a birthday party last spring that also featured horseback riding. Lucky kids!

Another Saturday spent mainly on chores and errands. Ken got the grill out and set it up, so we had some yummy turkey burgers for supper. I put up a lighted garland along the slide top frame over the sofa and kitchen. It has "music" and flashing lights. The music is a rather tinny music box type, so I listened to it for a few minutes and then switched to just flashing lights.

Ken went to Home Depot and got some replacement fittings for the water filter where it's been dripping slowly for some time. I'm sure he felt good about getting that fixed. We ordered some replacement florescent tubes for the ceiling fixture in the kitchen. They're an unusual type that's hard to find locally, plus less expensive on Amazon Prime.
