CONGRATULATIONS to Cousin Andy and his gal Clare on the birth of their brand new baby girl - Megan Rose. She's lovely! We wish you much joy and hopefully some sleep!
This weekend was another busy one for the farmers down on the Funny Farm. Saturday was the last local farmer's market of the season. We met our friend, Lisa, at the market for the final tour of this year's fall offerings. We found squash, cilantro, hazelnuts, peppers, melons, cheese, and even some oxtail for making soup. We even found an apron for Anni's cooking group. She's thrilled.
Then it was breakfast at Tullys, better known as coffee time! Alex had a $5 bill that was burning a hole in his pocket, demanding to be spent at the comics shop. While he and Ari checked that out, Anni, Lisa, and I looked in the games shop. We added a few more learning games to Anni's game basket.
Then it was Ari's turn. So of course we ended up at the used book shop. Sticking strickly to the bargain aisles, we found all kinds of goodies. Ari found a dracula book ($7). Alex found an X-files video ($0.50) 2 geography computer games ($0.50 each) and 2 John Bellairs novels($3 each). Anni found 2 Arthur computer games ($0.50 and several books ($1-$2 each), and I found an armful of best sellers ($2 each) and some great music CDs ($1 each), soothing instrumentals, funky holiday songs and some favorite pop, including Hootie and the Blowfish, whom I love! We had a great time checking out all the cool goodies, and we didn't have to spend a bundle.
Yahoo! I've finally made it to the gym three days ina row. I'm on a roll now or is that a treadmill? So far, I've hit the treadmill, bike, and ellipse machines. Tomorrow, I'm swimming!
We tried out a new recipe tonight, homemade turkey-sage ravioli with a sage mock-cream sauce, carmelized carrots, and bread. It was great, but very time consuming to make. We started dinner at 6pm and dined at 9pm! Everyone had a great appetite by then!
