Sad News, Last Meal and Big Fish

Okay, family - I have something VERY sad to tell you.  
Actually, two sad somethings.  Firstly, Carlye's little goat Annie died.  She was very sick and quit eating, and didn't make it.  Talk about a broken and very sad little girl.

Second sad something?
Queen B's has closed.

The owners retired, and are remodeling the tea room so that they can live in it.  We ate our final meal on Saturday, and here are the pictures.  The hostess was really sweet and gave all of the kids their hats to keep as souvenirs.  And mommy was a sucker and bought each of the kids a teapot to remember them by.  Carlye's was a beautiful brown Japanese tea pot, Nathanael's was really a royal blue and gold sugar bowl, and Noah's is a tiger tea pot.  All of them fit their personalities to a tee.  My daughter, in a fit of generosity, told all 4 of her cousins that I would by them tea pots as well.  So sweet....



While we were at Queen B's, Carl was on his annual birthday fishing trip with his friend David.  He caught his biggest red fish yet.  It measured 42 inches and weighed 28 lbs.


And here's a pic of the boys together with two more red fish.

Oh dear. I was dreaming of taking the 'girls' there frequently when we moved there. Oh well. We are sorry about the Carlye's goat dying. We love you all.

Wow, what is it with nursing baby animals. The kittens and now the goat. So sad.

I am sad about Queen B's. It was always so special. But, the memories are going to be cherished.

Congrats to Carl!
