Season’s End

I had no trouble flying home from NJ, scoring a front row window seat with loads of leg room. And despite the foul weather the day before, we not only took off on time but landed 15 minutes early.

Since then, I have been setting up my studio...

...and learning how to use my new Instant Pot that’s recently arrived. It’s a small one, and it fits nicely on my appliance cart. I think I’ll bring it along in the motorhome when we leave next week.

Next week! This has been a crazy winter and I really feel like I never really settled in. In fact, the daughter of a neighbor has come to visit her dad in the park three times this winter, but I was gone each time she came. She told us that secretly she was thinking that I was just a figment of Bob’s imagination. Hahaha! I was happy to set her straight.

Check out what Bob made me today—it’s a tofu press, made from 2 small dollar store cutting boards and some bolts and knobs from Lowe’s.

Tofu that is to be sautéed requires pressing so that a lot of the liquid can be removed, and this will make to easy to do.

We are counting down all the “last’s” now—last time singing in the choir this season, last time at Fiber Arts Group, last time at Woodcarving (Bob.)  But we are looking forward to our springtime adventures and seeing family in NJ, and our little house will be waiting for us this October.
