Ho Hum....

Yet another ho hum kind of day in the Bristolwood.

It was another kind of gloomy and uneventful day, but I will certainly take those over days when everything is busy to the point that you feel like screaming!

I made a batch of soap today. It is one of my favorites....Carrot Calendula Honey Soap. I tried to jam some of the best "goodies" into one bar, and ended up adding carrot juice, Calendula petals, goat milk, and honey. This makes a nice creamy bar of soap that is very gentle and kind! I don't add any scent to it, and after curing, the honey lends a bit of a "sweet" scent.

This evening was the highlight of our day...a few weeks ago, Michelle joined a class at the library. It was for kids, and each was given a disposable camera to take pictures of people reading. It turned into a cool project, and each attendee was given release forms to photograph people at the library....(permission to take their picture) Each child was given their pictures a week after the cameras were turned in, and they each used their own pictures to create a collage. I was impressed at their creations.

And yes, you are not seeing things...Michelle did indeed include a pictures of the Scotties...Angus was wearing a pair of reading glasses as Murphy looked on. And, BTW, another girl had a picture of her pet lab also reading! We are NOT alone!!!

LOL!
it's always nice to know there are others out there isn't it?
Great job on the collage, that's a cute idea and cool thing for the library to do.

You betcha, Becky! It is so comforting to know there are others out there that love their little four-legged buddies to pieces! I am so grateful for the therapy our little guys give!

The library that has the classes is about 16 miles away, and it is relatively small, but it is really cool! We are definately checking out any classes they will be offering in the future!
