I can always count on the OBUGS kids to brighten my days. On Friday, we harvested radishes, played with millipedes and worms, and learned how to peel and chop garlic. Mary, the little one on the left, is my favorite! She's so goofy and sweet.

The rest of the weekend, I spent time outside, with friends, and cutting up linoleum blocks (and my fingers while I was at it). I only permantently injured one finger on this design below! I call it 'Viva la Chainring.'

On Sunday, my friends and I grilled some Swedish Fish for dinner at Mosswood Park in Oakland...we eventually grilled some pretzels, Sweet Tarts, kettle corn, cheetos, tortilla chips and gingersnaps, too, but the fish were the biggest hit, by far. When thrown into the burning embers below the grilltop, they emit a beautiful smell! Fantastic.

That evening, Kirk Cameron and the Growing Pains (my kickball team) lost yet another game. I pitched pretty well, but my kicking was regrettable. Even the flag I made and flew for our team didn't help us out. We are just not good. But it was fun nonetheless :)
