These last few days I have been SO tired.....and wow, what  a headache...it keeps coming and going.  Right now, it seems to be doing ok, but yesterday and the day before it was pounding so badly I couldn't stand it.   I had to take some ibuprofin to get it under control.    And wow, can a headache amplify kids noises or what?   I feel like I've been such a grouch lately! lol

I have a feeling the headache and tiredness has something to do with the allergens in the air now.   Hopefully it won't last too much longer!

This week, James finally got motivated to do something he's wanted to do for a long time--- he's started building a canoe! I'm so happy he finally got the inspiration he needed to get started! 

Here's a picture of him starting (Saturday morning):


And here's a picture of the mold, ready to make the canoe over, which he had finished by Sunday!:


I can't wait to see this finished!   It's going to be beautiful....

....too bad this is just the mold!

Last night, I made some Angel food cake...it sure turned out delicious!!    Here is a picture of my piece, right after I poured the chocolate sauce over it... Yummy!



1 and 3/4 cups  egg whites
1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 and 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp almond
1 and 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Just dump all the ingredients together ,and whisk till really well blended...and pour into a greased cake pan, cook for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.  Very simple, and VERY delicious!
