March in review

The next couple of blog posts will be a review of March. We have had record-breaking warm weather and everything has burst into bloom weeks before they normally do.

The month started with Tamara’s birthday celebration.

Check out the amazing veggie dish that Beckie made for her special dinner!

Later that month, it was “pie day” (3.14) and Sarah made seafood pot pies to celebrate. (because she is not eating sweets or desserts for Lent, we decided a dessert pie was probably not a good idea). My gluten-free pie is the one with the cute little dough-ball on the top. Mmmmm.

As mentioned in last blog, Central Methodist University spring break was the second week of March. One of my projects was to straighten the bridge of one of the school cellos. Here is how crooked it was.

And, the straightening process is quite surprising. I took the bridge off and got a small pot of water to boil. Once boiling, I took the pot off the heat, dropped the crooked bridge into water, covered it, and waited five minutes. Ta Da – the bridge is not crooked any longer.

Pretty amazing.

We had our Russian puppy friends ((Stohli and Nikko - he is the smaller one) over for a little visit this month. Here they are with Max begging for treats.

Max gets fancy in his begging.

Not solid little Sadie, though. Nikko and Stohli are so lively that she pretty much backs off and stays in the background.
