Liz, it was so nice to see you post. We had snow on the ground a couple weeks ago but it has melted now. It's unseasonably warm here. This past week it was almost 20 celcius (don't know farenheit and I'm too lazy to look up a conversion - sorry).

Today is Ella's second birthday. I was considering having one of her friends and his parents over but decided against it. It's just as well. I babysat him four days last week and it turns out that I'll be babysitting him for four days this coming week too. I think Ella will appreciate her break from playmates for the weekend. We went to a friend's house last night for supper and an evening of beet pickling. I made a birthday cake and took it over so we had a little celebration there. Ella really liked blowing her candles out.

Tonight Sonora and I will be going to our weekly sewing circle. Sonora is making biscuits to take with us. I love having a break from home. It's so much easier to work on projects without 'helping hands'. Tomorrow we're having some friends over to celebrate my birthday. I'm making lasagne and caesar salad. Then for dessert I'm making a chocolate mousse cake. I can't wait. There was a time when I would let Keith make my birthday dinner and cake. I've come to realize that if I want something really special, it's better if I make it.

Well, I'm off to get ready to sew. Here's a pic of Ella.
