Tidbits

We had a long weekend for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, so on the Monday, we hiked at Rivendale, near Towsley Canyon, with Colleen and Liana.

Over the weekend, Stace took care of rats in the attic, and Cora played D&D twice, once at Logan's house and once at Jay's, her new school friend.

We also looked again at windows and paint colors for our eventual project in Violet's room.

On Tuesdays, Violet has a long break between her Placerita classes, so we had "cooking class" at Auntie Mel's house. Melanie had wanted to make fancy ramen with Violet to spend some time with her. Ellie helped cook, too!

How amazing do these look?! That's perfectly cooked pork belly, along with the veggies and eggs.

We had enough leftover to feed Stace and Cora that evening! After dinner, Stace and I watched the Maltese Falcon. Since watching some old Christmas movies, we've gotten into watching classic films. 

Cora is working on a new theatre-related project - creating her own leather(ish) corset for an outfit for a MacBeth scene she'll be in soon. 

Yes, she could just buy one, but she was ready for a new project. We got out her old sewing machine, and as she ran into some trouble, Stace and Winston worked together to fix it.

More "I can hold two cats at the same time" fun!
