Murder Mystery Dinner

It's July 20, 1969 and a group of groovy cats have been invited to hang out with hippie superstar Hedda Leiss as she prepares to go on a cross-country psychedelic bus trip to the long awaited Beefstock concert... But then, as Neil Armstrong prepares to step on the moon, a blast rips through Hedda's tour bus. Hedda has been murdered!

Dad kept busy keeping Otto entertained, and I spent the entire time hunting for beach glass. While at my parents place, we learned that Aundrea is quite proficient at climbing stairs. She climbed all the way to the top on her first try, and required very little help climbing back down! It is also frightening how quickly she is growing up... It might be hard to see, but this is my mother's shrine to Aundrea. There is not a single picture on that refrigerator that does not have Aundrea in it. I don't think Marcie ...
