Jeremy came home on Saturday night from CA. He brought me this little ring from Tienne who made it to resemble Elka.
Felix decided to extend his stay here in the US for another three weeks, but since we thought he was leaving yesterday, we had invited everyone over for a goodbye party. So we hosted a party for 16 (18?) on Sunday for which Jeremy handformed 5 pounds worth of meatballs and I baked two cakes.

My cousin, Chris, who’s been doing an internship in MD came over. So did Bob and Katherine – we had a full house.

We went swimming at the pool to see Felix in action at his job, the doggies came from PA.
While we hosted all these people, we were/are battling an infestation of flies. I ordered these fancy fly traps with UV light which work only at night and, I think, work sub par. And I bought two fly swatters and we just went to town. I felt I was being punished by pestilence.
