A Difficult Birthday for Nick

Today is the birthday of my friend, Nick Barnes. I called him to check in and learned that things are going incredibly roughly for him right now, even more-so than I was previously aware. My heart is with Nick today as he wades through deep waters.

On the home-front, Lily loved her swim today. I was at home with Ammon and Clarissa while she swam. They were home today because they were sick. She also made a healthy dinner for everyone and a lovely English gingerbread desert.

Lily got this great shot of the sunset.

In the evening, we puzzled and had a nice conversation with Clark, Swathi, Soren and Meera.
