j's friend c made us a beautiful wood muddler for making drinks. he also made us the wooden bowl which is in the picture somewhere down below with all the food we made for my dad's birthday. he came over last night & we made mojitos. j & c were muddling away at the mint while i was still teaching in the basement, and i could hear it all, & was getting excited about dinner & mojitos! good times, for sure.

i have pictures from the race on sun, but they're on j's phone, and we haven't downloaded them yet. we will when time permits.
