Whimsy

First lets begin with the bread. The wonderful, easy bread. This round did not come out as well as the first one. I tried to go all organic this time and I am not sure that the yeast was good (please no yeast jokes :)). It never bubbled after sitting there for at least 18 hours. Any suggestions on this one? It still came out beautiful and it was good, just not as light as the first one. To answer some of the concerns about the bread, it is intimidating reading the recipe. It took me many, MANY months to make the recipe. I was nervous about the wait time, but you just have to dig in and make it happen. I just wiped it together before dinner and then forgot about it until the next day, no problem. I am an instant gratification kind of girl, but making this bread, I love!



Oh, you ask yourself why is there a picture of a perfectly whimsical cake? Well let me tell you dear reader and friend. That is the cake, or a version of the cake, that I will be making dear sweet BellaRose for her 1st birthday come May 22. It is my goal. I am determined. I am searching out cake baking classes to take, and I have ordered a book. Now I know that she will never really know that I made her this cake except in pictures, and I know she will never really even eat it, but comepletley destroyit, but don't you see the beauty in that. It is exactly what you are supposed to do on your first birthday. Sure she will have a sugar overdose, but what the heck, you only turn 1 once. Carpe Diem!!

BellaRose was sitting on the guest room bed yesterday while I, of course, was on the computer. Worth's guitar was on the bed too, and BellaRose worked so hard to get to the guitar. She loves music so much. She is always beating on the things, and singing. She just started strumming away on the guitar. I got some real cool pictures. I was showing Worth the pictures, asking him if he thought that they were good. He says, well you left the pick in the strings, she won't be able to hear how it sounds. I like the pictures, the artistic side of them and he sees a pick in the strings. Oh well what can you do?

And finally, our beloved sippy cup. I got BellaRose a sippy cup because she always seems so interested in my water. She LOVES her sippy. She sees it and those legs start a flappin'. She likes to lounge with it, of course she likes to lounge anywhere. If she is eating, there is always a foot up on the tray. She might not really "get" how to drink from the cup though as you can tell from the middle picture.

Thanks for joining me today, I know it is a lot to take in for a thursdsay morning, but you sure have been a good reader. Talk at you later.
