I was wondering out loud this morning if there were any potatoes in the lower garden as we were driving down the road towards town. Suddenly the girls remembered they had not fed the horse so we did a U turn and returned to feed Bella. Poor thing! The "Forgetter" was thinking it was another day of the week and someone else's day! While they took care of her, I put my hand down into the hay in the potato patch and came out with a nice big Yukon Gold.  So, we had new potatoes for dinner today.

We were 15 minutes late for our appointment, but the orthodontist forgave us and put braces on Vanessa's teeth. I can't wait to see her fangs move into place in the next couple weeks. I remember thinking Brianna's moved very fast. The other two were at music lessons and I had two hours to go shopping all alone. It was fun. I don't do that very often. I didn't get very far. I think I am a slow shopper. I bought a package of 105 skeins of craft floss and a lot of bright colors. The girls are into making the friendship braids and learning new designs right now. I think this fancy package will keep them and their girlfriends entertained for hours on trip to Africa.

So far we were able to only register 2 in our family for a yellow fever shot. This is getting complicated! I hope to register two more today and then maybe it will work to register the last one tomorrow... then we have to work out a time to actually get it done.

Yesterday, we drove into Wenatchee as soon as we knew Steve was off work and raced to the government buildings to get Vanessa's passport application in. With Steve working long hours everyday we can't seem to get there when the place is open... We got there 10 minutes before closing time and you would not believe it, but the woman refused to help us because it was too close to closing time!!! It was a total waste of time. They sure know how to complicate things.
