    Yesterday was my friend Karen's birthday so today I threw her a party.  Hoping to combine crafty and spring, I went as Martha Stewart as possible, especially given the requested dessert.  I made Martha's poofs and I also tried to coordinate the colors - blue, green and yellow.  I lucked out in that Karen had found this cute idea for a party and we adapted it for todays' festivities.

    Today I went out of my normal head down approach to our neighbors and delivered some eggs.  Now don't get me wrong, our neighbors are nice people.  In the summer everyone exchanges friendly hellos as they're out doing yard work.  In the winter, it's a little hard for various reasons - we're inside more, lack of daylight, etc.  

    Yesterday as my husband and I were headed out to do the recycling, the neighbor across the street and Zach struck up a conversation, which ended in us getting some canned trout and salmon.  In return, Zach made the promise of eggs.  Seeing the opportunity this evening (the neighbor was bringing in his trash cans) I seized it and ran the eggs over.  I'd say it was a successful neighborly exchange.

    It'll be my first one and it involves the custody of youngsters.  I've accepted the case pro bono from the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.  I think this may be one good deed that may not go unpunished.  Regardless, I look forward to helping someone who otherwise couldn't get a lawyer and that really needs the help.

    Our neighbor just knocked on the door to see if while we were in Eagle this weekend if we could deliver some fruit to a friend.  What could I say, but yes. So, John at 1 Eagle, here we come with some fruit, hope you're hungry.
