From the Daisy Patch

I hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends!  We went over to celebrate the day with some local friends and their out of town family.  We had a wonderful day — the food was scrumptious (Kevin missed his calling as a gourmet chef and his cousin is a pastry chef!), and the company was great!  Unfortunately, we don’t like to have a special day without a bit of added drama…  Their dog bit Alice on the face right after the soup course.  Poor little Alice — it looked horrible!  Fortunately, their neighbor is an internist so we gave him a call.  He told us not to take her to the emergency room because they wouldn’t do anything — just to keep the wound clean, neosporine on it, and don’t cover it up.  As you can imagine, it put a bit of a damper on the day.  And left her mother too distracted to remember to pick a winner!  I hope you can all forgive me for being a day late with this…  and that there are no pictures again today!  Scott is off running errands and the camera is in the car with him — I’ll try to update tomorrow!

So, without further ado, the winner of the last drawing is:

Congratulations Cathi on winning that great prize!

For the first time ever I’ll be working on Thanksgiving. Fortunately I’ll be off by 2:00 pm so I can still enjoy a little extra time with my family.

Tonight we are off to the annual holiday parade through downtown Corvallis — fortunately it’s neither very cold nor wet as it usually is this time of year — should make for a fun night!
