Treats for a Birthday

Quote of the Day: Even when we choose wisely and well, we still must live in a world that dreads death, fears disease, and vainly tries to hide from disaster. Two bad decisions, Eve’s and Adam’s, have left us longing for Eden but trapped on a planet characterized by travail.

Picture of the Day:
Today was Sheryl Overstreet's birthday. We celebrated by taking her to her choice of lunch spots, which today was Cracker Barrel. I hope she enjoyed her french toast, because I thought the Tuesday lunch special meatloaf was great!
Sheryl decided to bring a wonderful assortment of her favorite snacks for her office birthday treat, and I persuaded her to pose by the spread after we got back from lunch.
