The last pictures on our poor smashed camera were ones taken by Hope- of weeds. Above is one of the more interesting specimens.
The ten baby bunnies left us this weekend. They went to the "bunny lady" who will give them to those teachers requesting class pets. These bunnies were the best yet in terms of personality. The bunny lady asked the girls to breed for the stock show in January (bunnies to sell). She wants only purebreds, so we will work on breeding next according to the types she needs for the show.
In other summer news, Hannah is taking an online Regency costuming class. It runs for six weeks and she is just starting week two. She is also continuing in her love of reading Shakespeare over the school break and we have many library books on the bard all over the house.
Abby went today to a new dentist in town. There is not much in our town other than a post office, farm equipment store and a gas station, so to find a dentist here (and one covered by our insurance) is a novel thing. When Abby got her braces off, she discovered a cavity in one of her front teeth, so I tried to locate a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures. This dentist office is state of the art- the dentist took pictures of each of her teeth with a little camera that looks like just another dental device that displays the pictures immediately on a computer screen. They also have digital x-rays and goodness knows what else. I bought some expensive toothpaste from the office designed to help harden her enamel with liquid calcium since we seem to be prone to decay despite good hygiene and diet.
Jacob is enjoying his summer break by playing with legos and other toys and by playing outside. Hope is doing well- a few days a week she gets knee pain and we are able to take care of it in a few minutes!!
I had a fun phone conversation yesterday with a friend (one of my bridesmaids) who I haven't talked to in ten years. She and her family have been living overseas and now they are nearby for the time being. I am looking forward to getting together with them soon and meeting her children for the first time!
In the sewing room:
finished: a 1940's bed jacket
halfway done: a silk dress from one of my mother's 1960's patterns
up next: a blouse for Abby
Sunday dinner:
chicken
peas and corn
coleslaw
mashed potatoes :)
