Joan's Birthday Party!

My sister's birthday is Monday.  She is younger than me but we are still old. She wanted to go bowling.   I made her a birthday cake this morning.  It cracked but it tasted pretty good. Lots of whipped cream flavored lemony on it.  I drove down to Dartmouth with all the dogs and the cake.  I stopped at Home Depot on the way to get my backsplash tiles .  I have pretty much made a decision on it, but I am not going to say for sure until they are in and  I can't change my
mind.  Anyway we rolled 3 strings at the bowling alley. Those big balls are heavy!! By the end of the 3 rd string, my arm was giving out and  the back of one leg was going to start screaming "STOP".   I think I stopped in time so that I am not going to have much of a negative effect from the bowling.  I did not do very well though. Almost won the last string but exhaustion took over and I gutter balled too many times.

While I was gone, Bill came over and finished installing the counter and it looks like he did something with the dishwasher since it is now in place.  I don't think I should try it until I speak to him though.  I can just see water all over the kitchen. not good.
