Every morning this week when I’ve woke up and started getting dressed, my hair has been a crapshoot as to whether it will be a good hair day or a bad hair day. I have not had two good hair days in a row for over 2 weeks. That makes me think I need to go see my stylist and get a new cut and style.
I remember being a little girl and being in the parent waiting area with my mom while my sister took ballet lessons. We could watch through a big one way mirror to see what the class was doing. I loved to watch my sister’s teacher dance to show the students how they needed to do the different moves. She was so graceful and so disciplined. I wish I could have taken ballet lessons.
This weekend I plan on doing something new and fun. I need to get out of the house and out of my rut. My friend, Owen, suggested that we take a drive to one of the big lakes and try fishing. That sounds like fun if we can get a boat. If he just wants to stand on the shoreline and get bit by mosquitoes for 10 hours then he’ll have to do that on his own. Not this girl!
I would love to rent a decent sized boat and hire a guide to take us out on Nickajack Lake or one of the other big lakes further north. My idea of fishing involves floating on the water, having a cooler with some cold drinks, and some pleasant company to talk with for a few hours. If the weather won’t be rainy or risk of thunderstorms, that’s our plan for Saturday.
Now to think of something fun to do on Sunday, too!
This cartoon reminded me of my good friend, Carl. He loves cookies and I always take a dozen over to his house when I am baking. I think its about time I make a batch of Oatmeal cookies with raisins and chopped walnuts. That would hit the spot tonight with a glass of ice cold milk!
I was invited to come to a cookware party by my good friend, Miss Charlotte, so I went with a skeptical attitude and a tight fist on my checkbook. Turns out that I’m not really interested in the line of cookware that she was offering and I didn’t buy anything that night. But while at the party we did get to chatting about cooking and baking and different shortcuts and kitchen tips.
Miss Charlotte invited me to come back one weekend and spend the day baking with her. I think that would be great – I love to bake and it is even more fun when you have someone there working alongside you.
Net weekend we are going to spend Saturday afternoon together in her kitchen making some different breads and rolls. She wants to donate the finished products to a church function the next morning. So I am looking up bread recipes online and finding two that I want to try. We are not using a bread machine to make these – they will be completely from scratch, hand rolled and raised, and then baked with love. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
