The Farm windows had to be put on hold the past two weeks. Ron needed my help with a giant project for a library in Portland. Now that that is finished I can turn my attention back to the windows. Yay!We went to an Inventor's Tea at my daughter's school last night. The whole 5th grade had the same assignment - invent something using only a wire coat hanger. (They were allowed to use two other materials also, not including glue or tape, etc.) I love this kind of thing. Seeing people's creative minds at work. One assignment, one hundred and twenty different ideas. No two inventions were alike. One of my favorite inventions was my daughter's silhouetted cat shaped candle holder. Coming in a close second was the rotating marshmallow roaster, which keeps your treat in constant motion for even browning!
While I was helping Ron out on the library job, I managed to take a few photos for a friend's school project. She's getting a sustainable design degree and had a project involving redesigning the interior of a home and wanted some non-specific photos to hang in her computer mock up. My photos, if she decides to use them, will be pretty tiny. This is good because I think this group of photos looks better the smaller they are!
I'm so excited - I finally went to the dentist! Well actually, I got to go to the dental hygienist program at the local community college. I'm getting my teeth cleaned - the first cleaning in well over twenty years! Also, full mouth x-rays and some fillings. All of this will cost less than $100. A bargain. The student who cleaned my teeth said that I'd pay at least $800-$1,000 for the kind of cleaning I needed in a regular dental office.
My latest passion - books on CD! I listen to them in the car. I've already gotten through my first book and am now listening to Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility! I'm very excited about this because it takes me forever to get through a book. The only time I read nowadays is in bed at night and I usually only get through a page if I'm lucky before the book falls on my face because I've fallen asleep.
Tomorrow, the Farm windows!
