Thirteen on the 4th!

Happy Birthday to my baby! OK, J is 13 today (or really tomorrow, Sunday the 4th). We are sending a chocolate Texas cake to church and we have another chocolate one for home. We are having pizza and salad and the chocolatey-est (how does one spell that???) ice cream we can find. It may be a chocolate overkill, if that is possible! He is getting a battery for his remote control ford pick up that he got for Christmas (we couldn't afford the battery at Christmas!!!) and a desk lamp. I bought him some black pants today for band and choir concerts.
T went to his honor choir thing and it was splendid. Short, but splendid. We went to it also. Most of the audience seemed to be from Tillamook. One of T's old friends was there, but they didn't see each other. Several of the songs gave me goose bumps. And we found out the reason behind Loch Lommond which is kinda sad. It was about a guy who was on trial, well there were two and one was being executed. The guy who was being executed wrote the song and the other was set free. The high road is supposed to be to heaven and the low road is earth. It would be a fun one to look up.
We also picked up some stuff for the edge of the roof so it won't rain on my porch..it commenced raining today for the first time in ages. Kinda nice! And we got some wooden tv trays that need refurbished. Those were 10 dollars, so even if we spend 10 to fix them up, they are still pretty cheap! S put the roof thing on in the dark, I was startled when I found out he was up there in the dark in the rain! (hmmm, those last few words sound like something from Dr. Suess!)
OH, we saw a great saying outside a church today on their announcement board. It said, "Saints always win here."
