A friend brought Dan a live lobster from CA. I wish you could have been here as Dan introduced his dinner to the family. The screaming had no end. Just when we'd think the lobster was looking "fake" it would move and the screaming would start all over again. Dan cooked the lobster outside on the grill. Rebecca, Natalie, and I were very grateful. We didn't want to hear it "say it's final words," smell it cooking, or eat it. So it worked out well for us. The rest of the family was more adventurous and ate some. They all loved it. This was one definitely one for the journals!
Our Chantelle would rather hang at home than going somewhere else. She spends a lot of time on her bike when it's warm. She is afraid of most dogs, but loves having Bella sleep with her. She and Eli are great buddies. He'll even play Barbies and dress-up with her. Instead of going on a snowmobile ride in the winter, Chantelle rode the "Kitty Kat" in the backyard in the summer. Not a bad idea. Chantelle is our crafter and spends hours working with beads, paper, glue, scissors, markers, stickers, etc. Being a very generous girl, all of us are usually the lucky recipients of her beautiful work.
