Moving right along

Jess enjoys another good laugh from her oldest brother before he is headed out!

I was ask to bake a cake for the lenten luncheon on Tuesday.  I thought I had it in the bag!  I made my bread, the cake, and a pie that I was also ask to make for a fundraiser.   Doesn't it look good?  I made chocolate pie for us.  Mmmm.Tuesday morning, I went to frost the cake, and all the top came off into the frosting.   Grr!   So off to the freezer for us to eat instead.   I took the pie for the luncheon, came home and baked some more.  I made a pumpkin-maple pie instead, and then I made Becky's Ultimate Chocolate Birthday Cake.   Chocolate everything, from frosting to ice cream.

One of her presents was Miley Cyrus sneakers!  She ask for them!

She had to wait until after dance before she got her cake and presents.  Ken came out too! I guess he gave her a dvd at her dad's house.  Benjamin Button?   I heard mixed reviews about it.  Guess that is the movie for the weekend.  Or Where the Wild Things are.   She got that one too.  

Peeking in on my seedlings... they are getting there....

Spring cleaning bug this week.  Man, those erasers they sell for scuff marks work wonders on everything.  Check out my grandmother's light that I cleaned with it.   I tried other stuff but it would start to scratch.  This did the trick!  Look at the right vs the left

 

Today I started purging again.   You would think that I would run out of stuff to get rid of by now.   Never!  I worked on the livingroom and kitchen.   Next I will try the washroom.  That will be a big chore because there is so much junk in there.   All the games,  all the canning stuff, all the movies.   Ugh.  I think I will have to pull it all out and then put back only the stuff I really want to keep.

It would be nice to have a hot cup of tea right about now, but you know how it is at our house....Tons of water, but yet I am baffled as to why the well went dry tonight?  Give it an hour or so and we will be back on track for a day or two.
