This blog is not dead
I just ran out of words for a bit.
- we still haven’t made it back to the other library to get Emma’s finished movie.
- Emma found a cheque from her grandmother and purchased a small Wall-E from Toy ‘r Us. While she finds it fun, it just isn’t quite the same as the cardboard one she made. (It comes apart tho.)
- my bathroom is still waiting for a sink and the septic field still isn’t finished
- i did, however, sort of fix the downstairs shower which was handy for that whole two weeks of heat we had at the first of the month.
- Sarah is moving a few blocks away from where she spent the summer and will be rooming with a family friend. She’s a mom of 4 grown children with family values like ours (hippie, slightly crunchy, leaning towards British, and odd in a good way). Food is included. They should get on famously.
- Sarah also begins her first day of real school next week. At 18. I was supposed to set her up a blog, but that was tied to the moving around of this site, whcih hasn’t happened yet.
- Meaghan made a hammock.
- then she made two more cloth ones.
- the baking has continued. Today’s snack plate has caramel shortbread cookies.
- we partook of a community art festival, and joined in a large painting
It was in the local paper too.
- work tanked for a bit. We slogged through finishing up (or trying to) long overdue projects and a few of our own.
- when we started to make actual progress, a whole pile of new clients came flooding through
- I’m continuing to get veggies from our neighbours, on credit for the work I did picking berries and beans. Not together. Last night, they left a large bag of corn on our back step so someone could eat it before it went bad.
- we also discovered that the roof join over one end of my craft room was leaking. right into the wall. We’ll be closing this room off completely for the winter, and I moved my sewing table to someplace we could use it better. my sewing has stagnated.
There’s more going on in the background. 
Just waiting for the best time and all.

Oh, oh, can I guess what big news you’re sitting on, or would that spoil it if I guess it right? I’ll just keep my thoughts to myself for now
Okay, now I’m totally curious! Glad to see a post and hear all is well.

When have you ever been at a lost for words? The world misses your witty bantering…..love…Mom
