Last night we had company that seem to come in shifts- or at least the last two additions. It was amusing clearing away one place and making way for a new one. I was unaware that May 1st is May Day. Janice, a friend who comes occasionally on Tuesday nights, brought me a May Day gift. A book instead of flowers (as flowers, I am told, is the tradition). I was very pleased with the book. It's a compilation of the stories behind 150 of the great hymns. Now I think it rather sad that I've never celebrated May Day before.
Today is Vivian's birthday, so I took a picture of the kids gathered around the birthday girl. Vivian was highly annoyed that everyone was around her and touching her, so she kept wriggling her shoulders and scrunching her nose. Gabriel was pitching a fit because he had to get down in the midst of eating his breakfast. Anyway, it made for a funny picture.
