Fen and I took a really nice walk to the lake. The light was weird and the wind was high but that’s how we like it!

Meggie was here with me to celebrate our joint birthdays and we made a lemon cake together with whipped cream frosting and lemon curd in the middle. It was delicious. She is turning 46 and I am turning 44.
