This and That

Clear skies and a chilly wind this morning. When we left the house to go walking this is what we saw--- the concrete being pumped in for the new house being built next door. I didn't count but I'm sure several trucks with concrete were needed to fill the forms that the workmen had been setting up earlier this week.

After we came back from walking I made chocolate chip cookies and used some ripe bananas to make banana bread or loaf, whichever you call it.

I use parchment paper a lot and I found these pre-cut to size sheets at the Dollar store. Very handy.

M was showing us some science experiments on the internet. One was called Elephant Toothpaste and was the funniest one. He wanted to try doing some of them and we found 3 that I had the necessary ingredients for.  They were all 3 variations on the old vinegar and baking soda volcanoes that every kid ends up making in elementary school at some point.  We had the foresight to make them in the kitchen sink to limit the mess.

I got out my box of journals to choose a couple for some projects I am planning. These are some of my 'collection'.  Who can resist a lovely journal?

And now I think it's time to make a pot of tea and see if my DH wants to sample the Banana loaf.

Thanks for coming by,
