I may disagree with everything either of them is done, but my poor dead Southern mama would be ashamed of me if I didn’t offer them congratulations on their engagement.
I’m also curious to see what kind of ring you give a man whose wealth was founded on emerald mines.

It’s a dramatic improvement over the time I made the same style of cake exactly ten years earlier.

Alistair’s allergies mysteriously improved once Beau came to live with us.

And sometimes Alistair let Beau hang out in his kennel with him. Beau cannot return the favor, since Alistair wouldn’t fit.

Then in the summer of 2022, we brought home Beauregard.
Alistair, believing himself to be the household babysitter, understood that he had a new responsibility, since Marian was older and more independent.

His greatest fear is storms, and in Oklahoma we get a lot of them. When there’s a tornado we go in the hall, and he assumes that’s what he should do whenever there’s scary loud noises.

In this picture you can see evidence of one of the less happy elements of Alistair’s life. He has a bit of a grass allergy and some summers his skin gets a little pink. He gets medicine, and it’s been improving in recent years (more on that later).
