What has been happening here Posted in Daily Musings
Wow, time sure does fly by when you aren't watching it, lol. We have been pretty busy the last little while (hence the reason for no new entries in my blog).
So, let's see .......
- Charlotte is in swimming lessons at a pool in a neighboring town. It's wonderful to see how much she has improved since her last swimming lessons - all thanks to taking the kids to the lake and working with her on her floats and such.
- Joshua got his blue fiberglass cast removed last week, now we just need to work on strengthening up his arm again. Pam gave me a wonderful tip: take a plastic pop bottle (one of the 600 mL size), fill it with sand, put the lid on it and then tie kite string around the neck of the bottle and on to a chunk of doweling (I'm thinking around 3/4" thick), then have him wind up the string by turning the handle - this will raise the sand filled bottle, next have him lower it by 'unrolling' the handle (I can picture this in my head, but I'm having trouble describing it).
- Monday (which was Thanksgiving here in Canada) was spent at a friends house and then we went to Parents Night Out at another friends house. Everyone had such a wonderful time, there was plenty of visiting and laughter and knitting (at least on my part, lol) going on - and the pumpkin desserts that Lori served were amazing.
- Today we went to Mug Up in the city. Annalise (I really hope I spelled her name right) was hosting for the first time today - it was such a wonderful visit (and yes, I got lots of knitting done, lol). I love how motivating Mug Up is for the kids, they really look forward to getting together with their friends and I look forward to visiting with my friends, drinking coffee and getting more done on my knitting (this is a time that I actually plan on getting a good chunk of knitting done that I wouldn't normally sit and do otherwise).
I didn't get my menu done on Monday (we weren't home very long) so I did it up on Tuesday. I also changed how I did it - there is now a section on the right hand side of my blog where I am posting my weekly menu. If I find that it isn't working in that location, then I will go back to posting them as entries on Monday's.

***IMPORTANT***: you need a percolator style coffee pot to make this.
DO NOT use a drip style coffee maker to make this syrup!!!!!
* Make one pot of coffee, then discard the grounds.
* Add fresh grounds, percolate again, with the coffee as liquid, not fresh water.
* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.
* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
