I am so happy to report that my new washing machine works great. I finally figured out how to level it (by adjusting the screw on feet in the front). This is very important so that the machine doesn't go jumping around....as I found out...a little too late.
I have almost sorted through all of the clutter in the storage room...there are some pictures of the mess somewhere on this blog...and my new shelf is almost full. Today my daughter and I went through a bunch of keepsake items of clothing that we have kept aside to keep...forever? Little ruby red slippers, a fuzzy pink coat, her Sleeping Be
auty Halloween costume that she wore when she was 2...so cute. Each year, on or near her birthday, we go through this stuff. We watch home movies, read the journals I have kept since before she was born, and I tell and retell the story of her birth. She loves it and it is really nice to recall those days. Here is a picture of the birthday cake we made. Chocolate brownie with gourmet vanilla bean ice cream in two layers and covered with ganache (Em designed it--a horse jumping over 3 licorice sticks...with blue jelly bean water on the other side).I have been doing some long term planning for the next term in Grade 7, (which is also the last term), and for Grade 8. I am addicted to forms, and am always trying to create the perfect one for various uses from chores to planning. Recently I figured out a way to create forms on Microsoft Office. I almost tingle when I think of it..I know, I have to get a life.
Anyhow, gotta go make balloon animals with Em.
