latest success...

Well, there is a custom here that if you receive a gift of food that you should always return the plates with food you've made. So...2 weeks after receiving a welcome to the building gift, I baked my first apple pie in life (it took that long to find a rolling pin, cinnamon, brown sugar, etc.)! It turned out awesome. Micah loved it and we were sad to give any away....although glad to finally give our neighbors their plates back and return their hospitality.


In other news, Micah refused to eat breakfast this morning without the company of sleep dog and sleep sheep. This is why sleep dog smells like old milk. Ugh.


Also, I was amazed to look out my window today and see a man in a dress coat and pants doing electric work on one of the electric poles. A new business casual?


Lesson learned today: Always carry an umbrella in winter even if it is beautiful when you leave the house.

A thank you goes out to the wonderful woman who held my stroller while I tried to juggle Micah, my purse, and my bus fare today. Another shout out to the wonderful man who knew English and pointed me in the right direction so I did not roam for hours looking for the mall.
