Scottish greetings to you all. :-) Not much has been happening in my little world as of late. I guess you could say that I have been pretty bored and feeling somewhat lost. It seems that all I've to do is clean house and do laundry. Domesticity has never been one of my strengths, so naturally it is proving to be quite a challenge.
I think the greatest treatment for my insanity has been the hospitality of my next door neighbor, Susan. She is quite a remarkable woman. She and her husband are both doctors here in Aberdeen; her husband a surgeon and she a General Practitioner. Together they have 4 children under the age of 6 (lots of playmates for the kids, another great cure for my insanity.) Susan works three days a week and on her last two weekdays off, she has invited the munchkins and me to playdates. Today we went to our first Messy Play Day. This is a play group where the kids go to purposefully get messy. There Bryson and Sadie had the opportunity to paint, play with sand, pasta, playdough, and even colorful mashed potatoes. They had a really nice time and I too had a nice time visiting with Susan afterwards at her house while we sipped coffee and the kids played.
After our play date, I came home to finish up a cake project that I made for Brian's office-mate, Annetta. Here is a picture of the finished cake. Not the best model I have done, but I am hoping that she will like it anyway!
Tomorrow, the kids and I will have to venture out to the medical clinic where Bryson and Sadie both have appointments to meet with the Health Visitor. I think this is something like a well child check up like we have at home. I just hope they don't tell us that we have to do any more vaccinations.
Well, that is all for now. Perhaps this weekend we will take another local castle adventure. Who knows what will be in store...for now, though, pray for my sanity. :-)
