Two years ago today

Two years ago today, I was hosting a party to welcome Ms. N's beautiful new daughter, then called Gabriella, into the world.

I wasn't at all upset that my birthday was forgotten in the hoopla.

I'm not upset today, at least about my birthday...it's just not important.

When I get home, I'll add a picture from that day. She was radiant.

Personal Statement

I can't post this on http://nancycooper.blogspot.com, but I can post it here...

• I am a patriot
  I believe in due process
  I believe in the rule of law
  I believe justice will eventually be done
  I believe the safety and well-being of Bella and Katie is paramount
  I don't believe in trying cases in the media
  I believe in the presumption of innocence
  I believe that each person has the right to proclaim their beliefs publicly
• I am proud of each and every one of my friends for standing up and proclaiming their beliefs in pursuit of a cause they believe in
  I miss Nancy more each day

I did cook a very nice meal for the R. family tonight and dropped it off, I hope they enjoy it. In a time like this, it's nice to set goals for oneself that are achievable...I can check "cook for the R's" off my list now. That is a great comfort.

I rotisserie'd two chickens, make a Greek salad with Farmer Fred's cucumbers and herbs from my garden, made a potato, green bean and yellow squash salad (all Farmer Fred produce) and a double batch of the baked Macaroni & Cheese that I've referenced before.
