Today we made an edible color wheel. This is probably the third or fourth time over the past six or so years that we have done this activity. It is always a big hit! First we made some frosting.

While on my daily walk I noticed that several other non-American forgers must have noticed this too. The edges of the woods were spotted with Asian people with very large plastic bags filled with […]

I found 2 packs of Kool-aid in the way back of the cupboard today. I gave Ginger the choice of which flavor she wanted to make to drink and which she wanted to use to make Kool-aid playdough. I’ll give you a hint:

We moved into our house four years ago in September. That January we had tons of rain and lots of flooding. We were so lucky, we had raw sewage come up the shower drain in our basement. I am so glad the previous owners were honest with us when they signed […]
