Two things made watching Ratatouille yesterday very special.
One, my whole family went to watch it together – me with the best husband in the world and the best three children in the world. My husband’s movie of choice is usually action and sci fi. Rated G movies are never on his list. But he came along and I did not see him fall asleep once. That says a lot about Ratatouille. And that my teenagers chose to see it with us instead of with their friends made me really happy.

Amy and I were at Petsmart looking at the mouse cages and didn’t see anything cute about them. So how can Pixar make a rat look adorable? It’s the eyes, the blue fur, and the cute personality of Remy that makes it possible for a rat to be an endearing main character.
On Sunday, I asked a pharmacist at our church to talk to the kids about taking care of their health.
She said, “After you blow your nose, see if the stuff is clear or green.”

Is this an optical illusion?
Did our bunny Smokey shrink in size to be smaller than a zucchini?
Or is the zucchini bigger than a regular-sized bunny?
It’s a giant zucchini! This is the one from my friend’s garden that we barbecued. It was delicious.
Had one of the best days yesterday:
Spent a few hours with my daughters and a couple of friends at church painting posters and backdrops for the upcoming Vacation Bible School. Looks really good!
I felt brave and just jumped into the pool without hesitating. That was mostly because I was rushed for time, but it felt good.
This will make you drool –
Dinner tonight, especially for my husband, was: King crab legs with garlic in melted butter! Broil tri-tip roast medium rare! Home grown chinese brocoli!
We’r taking an extra dose of cholesterol meds tonight!
Today we celebrated Father’s Day with my dad.
We had one of the best meals I ever planned. Mike did the actual barbecuing. I am including instructions here just in case you might want to try it.

Employees expect to work at their jobs. Students expect to work at school.
But when it comes to personal relationships, people don’t think they have to work at having a good relationship.
I suppose when you are dating, you do work to impress the other person. You do nice things for them to make them…
Art Levinson, CEO of Genentech, on the Board at Google, says, “Here I am, a guy who can afford a good meal, and every time I go to a Google board meeting, I don’t leave until ten o’clock at night because I get a free dinner there.”
Google is so known for their food.
