The bell is ringing...again


I prepared a feast for the family to honor the girls 
as they prepared to start a new school year.

Baby white roses decorate the dinner table. 
 Honey-seared salmon smoked in alder wood (prepared by Mr. Nielson), 
garden-picked beets, brown jasmine rice, 
broccoli rabe, and the 2008-09 family theme.


Crowns were made to honor the girls.
I made a classic chocolate cake with delicious 
chocolate butter-cream frosting for dessert.
Toasts were made, stories told, goals planned, and the girls 
walked the catwalk showing off the new school duds in a family fashion show.




It was hot. Real hot. Claire wore tights.
 Jane wore long pants and a sweater-type top.
Both came home with red faces and sweat dripping down.
Fashion over comfort, ladies!
