Darin is 11111 years old today (that's 31 if you're not expressing it in binary numbers). Sarah made him a yummy lasagna dinner, complete with really nice cheese bread, green beans, and a three layer German chocolate cake. I thought the two toothpicks along with the 29 candles was fun ... left a nice pine scent in the air. But a warning for those of you who want to try this at home ... toothpicks burn much quicker than candles, so light them last, and blow them out fast!
Willyne reached 250,000.0 miles in her still beautiful, dependable GMC Yukon Denali this evening, right on our own quiet streets near our home. It is a wonderful, dependable car, and she is hoping for many more comfortable miles to come!
PS - Mille Bornes is a French term referring to a thousand of the mile stones found on many of their highways. It is also a game I have many fun memories playing. You can learn more about it here: http://boardgames.lovetoknow.com/Mille_Bornes.
Let me know if you'd like to play it with me some time (but give me notice so I can find a copy of it, I had this game in a "previous lifetime"!)
