Slightly-Wobbly

We heard another explosion last night at 1AM. So we contacted the police and they came out by 130AM. I had poked my head out the sliding glass door directly after the explosion and heart voices distinctly in the distance saying "Wasn't that great?" So I had a point of reference so that the cops could go question others about the noise we heard. Again...this explosion was loud enough to shake the house. It's very scary.


Greg & Joe took off early this morning to pick up parts from the powder-coaters. Greg was back by 12:30 and we took off. On the way, my eagle eyed hubby spotted a boat for sale and just had to pull over to gaze at it! When we pulled off the road, we saw...VARMINTS! They ran like little ferrets across the road. The hill next to the road was covered with the little things.

Entertained by the curious little rodents, we watched for quite a while until we realized that we needed to continue if we were to be at the wedding on time! While we talked about the animals we saw, we remembered that Kelsey had a guinea pig when we first moved into the basement. And it had run away. (i.e.-escaped) It is probably still somewhere in the walls of the house! We had both totally forgotten about it. Wonder if Kelsey Rae remembers?

Got to the wedding just as it was beginning. Woot! Patricia was beautiful in her gown. Her groom was so handsome & proud. Ron looked adorable with the father of the groom as they proudly held their "rifles" waiting for the young gents to come out. All of the groomsmen carried rifles as they escorted the bridesmaids out. During the service, when asked for the ring...all of the groomsmen acted as if they had forgotten the ring!

We had a quick few minutes with the reception line and then we were off to the birthday party. Arriving at the park just in time to see Lilly thoroughly enjoying her cake. What a doll. She had dozens of presents! A beautiful, lucky little girl.

Lilly is an adorable little girl. She was loaded with cake, but after a quick clean up, she was up and around. Several times, she attempted to lift herself up so she could walk. Seeing her struggle, I went over to hold her hand during one of these attempts. She looked up at me and broke into a wonderfully big smile. We walked for a while until she plopped down into the soft green grass. I remember that baby soft skin...from so long ago!

After enjoying some birthday cake, talking to various friends & relatives, then taking a quick walk around the park with Isabelle we returned home via the mall. Oh, beware. We went to the mall!

Got pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids for our daughter as she was begging for some recent fotos! Then picked up free panties for her at Victoria's Secret. We finally returned home at 6:30PM. What a great day! The sun was shining even with the threat of dark clouds lining the skies.

So early this morning before we went off on our great adventure, I tried my hand at developing a font. I call it Slightly-Wobbly. It is distressed and messy.

Get it HERE.

That explosion...my first thought was a sparkler bomb.
since the 4th of July is coming....people like to make these bombs and light them off in the wee hours of the night/morning....they totally shake the house, and leave only a small hole where they exploded.
VERY loud.
Anyhoo, I love your calender in the round!! TFS!!!

I was thinking pipe bomb when I read that, lol. Hope they figure out what it is and stop them.

LOVE the font. What program do you use to create them? I really want to get into making fonts but I'm not sure what program to get.

Super great font. Thanks for sharing with us.

Just wondering, did the Police find the culprits? Maybe it was those marmits?
