Winter Weather Advisory

 

We are all in such a dither here about the snow that's being forecast. It's been a long time since we've had a really big snow. On my travels to the Grands I brought along the Ski Sweater to work on. The Mister's Riddari is too big for travel knitting now but I wanted something warm and cozy in my lap since it's been so blasted cold. 

We arrived early in the morning so we had two whole days to play. Big Grand got a space capsule for his birthday a few weeks ago and we had a lot of fun playing space man. Of course I had David Bowie playing in the background. There was a lot of Major Tom to Ground Control going on. You're never too young for Bowie.

My sister, who is also on a sourdough journey, stopped by on Tuesday to pick up some of Betty's discard and brought along a family heirloom. It's a 1960 Brio carousel pull toy that Baby Grand loves to bits. It has a bell that goes clang, clang so we had to ration his play time with it before we all went mad. 

Speaking of Betty, we cut the little loaf we made and Big Grand declared it delicious. He ate several slices at lunch and then finished it off at dinner. My sister and The Mister got a big laugh out of learning that after all this work, I am not a fan of sourdough. Never have been but being a process person it doesn't stop me from wanting to make it. I don't like scented soap either but I always make plenty of it just because I like to fool with the fragrances. 

As for that Betty discard, look what my sister made from it yesterday. Now that's a pretty loaf of bread.
