Updates
now playing: caedmon's call - standing up for nothing
Haven't posted in a while... mostly busy, partly restless.
To update:
Our first camp (junior girls) was cancelled, due to our nearly-ablsolute lack of camper applications.
My sister is up here visiting for a couple of weeks (hence our nearly-absolute lack of applications).
Alex Morrison is the 5th-best chess-player in Canada for his age group. I live in his house.
We've spent the past week doing work outside (weed-wacking & mowing the extensive backyard, weeding, watering, making a rock garden, etc.) and inside (cooking, cleaning, baking, painting, moving furniture). I don't think i've done ANY paperwork since friday, and i know i haven't done any youthinc stuff since monday. A change is as good as a rest... or something...
Jenny and i tried to make caramel sauce last night. Using gramma's recipe and everything. We failed miserably. It wouldn't thicken to anything more than a thin soup. So we added a pile of corn syrup, and made do. Tomorrow we're going to try rum sauce (with an internet recipe, we've given up on gramma).
I learnt how to make hemp necklaces the other night. So far i've made 1 3/4.
I still love bread. I can get a fresh loaf from safeway for $1.25. Beautiful.
I've run out of news. Maybe i'll have more tomorrow.
