Toadies In The Night!

Isn't this a great picture? Taken by Esther Hale (age 15) of a group of toads that live under their sidewalk!

Bowling today--picking up June soon. Shrimp enchiladas last night were a flop. Very bland. Made homemade enchilada sauce that didn't work well with it either. Oh, well! Some days are diamonds and some days are stones!

Talked a bit more with Jeff about helping Jenn build her self-confidence now that we understand her background better. Says I don't have to cook tonight--that's ok--it's a little harder on Thursdays as I'm tired after bowling. Jenn was really suffering from her allergies last night.

Got a lot done yesterday--a little carpet cleaning, finished laundry, cooked. A friend called and asked if I'd make treats for her daughter's party on Saturday so my idea of Mai Mai's Cooking and Crafts may be starting to come to fruition! I've got 3 treats to make for her (spooky witches fingers, brownie "spiders", and ghostly cupcakes. Also have an order for a crystal watch--should have finished that by now!--and Linda just asked me to make a doggie dress for Claire as a gift to her daughter on Christmas! Kinda cool the way things work out!

Gotta run!

Peace!

Mom,
Those toads are amazing! Thank you for posting it. It took me a moment to figure out where they were, I was thinking…Why would she put up a picture of some leaves on concrete, then I examined the crack. Wow!

Bland food is usually better than no food. Speaking of which we had your frozen pasta dish last night and it was enjoyed by all. Unfortunately it is all gone now so you have to come back and fill up my freezer again.

Mai Mai's Cooking and Crafts, better register that!

Love,
Jordan
