So my kid is graduating to Piano book two next week. Isn't that thrilling? I'm so proud. We had the piano tuned Wednesday so it actually sounds like music now. That is also very thrilling. She's pretty happy that she's "finally playing Beethoven".

Yesterday I made fudge for the first time ever in my life. It was "too sweet" and "too cocoa-y" but it's edible - barely. Still I delivered some to Dean F. with a warning that it was practically inedible. Leigh and Amy have it to look forward to, as I'm sending it all home with them. I made pnut butter too. That was practically inedible too, I'm just thrilled that it resembled fudge quite frankly.
