Endings & Beginnings

Last day of 2009: yesterday Sophie & I enjoyed our final Sophie/Grammy Day of 2009, happily Linda was free to join us. Today I’m back to doing picture research but just took a break to shovel snow, bake bread with these yummy ingredients–honey, butter, rough cut oatmeal, bananas, whole wheat flour, buttermilk and believe it or not a tablespoon of baking soda and baking powder, eggs, vanilla, pecans and raisins. Our evening New Year’s tradition is to listen to the Classical Music Countdown on the radio–lots of Beethoven (Sophie & I are still going back & forth about the phenomenon of Beethoven the composer & Beethoven the dog)– and make a puzzle; It’s simple but heartfelt as we move from one year to the next.
