Hi,

I'm not sure where the time went. Amelia leaves in a few hours. She wanted to go downtown shopping yesterday and I was not really happy about it. We met my Dad at Last Resort and had another great meal there. We resisted dessert entirely because we had pie at home. Spent a little time at Agora. I wonder if I should ask Airee about getting a booth there. Why not give it a try? Get rid of some of my stuff? We stopped at Hobby Lobby and went to Michael's again to get another can of white spray paint. Amelia is re-painting a rusty old outdoor table to make it look nicer.

I did make some small baguettes with a little whole wheat flour, as well as white flour, salt, yeast, and water. From Martha Stewart's recipe. It was pretty cool in the house yesterday, very overcast, so didn't rise prodigiously.

We had more leftovers for supper, with a little salad from our garden: lettuce, carrots, peppers! Amelia went off with Kevin et al. and we watched some television. I had fallen asleep and we were about to go to bed around 9, when we started watching the end of The Two Towers, followed by the beginning of The Return of the King. Very fun. We turned it off finally and headed upstairs but then it was a while before I calmed down enough to fall asleep. Silly, because we actually own them and never watch them. I am not sure, maybe Molli has them all. I might take a look.
