Children's Corner

Nick and Lynn popped in to drop off more boxes – they are storing their boxes at the manse to make it easier to transport to the wharf on Wed. They were about to run a few errands in Jamestown, and I noted the reluctance on their 2 boys’ faces (Caleb 8 1/2 yrs, and Aaron 7 years) I had just set up my “children’s corner” (i.e. 3 small easy chairs in a group with a little table, a few children’s books, and a bunch of toys and activities in a cupboard) I suggested that, instead of trailing along with their parents, they could stay behind and build some lego. Much relief on little boys’ faces. Caleb did a good job with his set, and then helped his younger brother finish his car.

I managed to clear the dining room table, and we had the Clevely’s over for supper. It is difficult for Lynn to cook when all her things are in the process of being packed away. (Graeme was at his first deacons’ meeting, and joined us later) We had spaghetti bolognaise with a salad of… what was in the fridge…apples, lettuce with a sprinkling of sweet basil.

  1. Hazey, Have read all your content now and I am entranced. What a different way of living! Another friend commented about the recipes you will post - looking forward to some of your concoctions. When we were young (no comment) you could come up with some wonderful things. I remember the tomato soup. White sauce and chopped tomato - yum

  2. Hi Penny. The concoctions are simply a matter of putting together whatever is in your fridge/ cupboard in such a way that it resembles food that you were used to eating. The challenge is getting the people who haveto eat it, to enjoy the experience... like Klim and sugar...
