Still cute, though.

A Warm, Sunny Day

Memorial Day found us with beautiful, sunny weather here in Madison. We celebrated with a summery outfit, a dip in the pool (in the shade -- have you seen my skin tone?!), and a cook-out. I wasn't a fan of the pork loin, but the garlic mashed potatoes were good, and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the big serving bowl full of broccoli. Fortunately, I have recently learned to sign the word "More."
