Zoo day?

Just wondering where everyone is at this weekend. Is it possible to find a day for all of us to go to the zoo?

Ooooo, good idea.

Here's Ryan's b-day wish list:

Insulated Coveralls
Ax (not the cologne, the actual tool to chop stuff with)
Running watch
Mitre saw (don't ask me how to sepll that)
Some other kinds of saws
X-box games (Burn Out is good)
The Keg gift certificate

birthday list

gift certs to awesome restaurants, hmv, and eb games. i know this is a lame list, but i don't really know what i want right now, and gift certs will give me the time i need to figure it out.

painting!!!

we did the primer last night in the living room and the dining room. kimberly's not sure of the color or the living room yet, but i think the dining room will be blue.

A SPECIAL THANK-YOU

I again want to thank-you Ramona for the birthday shopping, and lunch, I really had a great time with everyone. I like everyones taste in clothing, and I recieved great compliments on them at the hotel.
Folklorama was a blast, and our hotel was incredible, especially the Sunday brunch. Thank-you Jason

SNOW!!!!!! 130 days 9 hours 47 minutes!!!!!

This is totally serious. With snow on the ground in North America, Christmas must be just around the corner. We don't have much time to plan. Only 130 more days till Christmas and we need to get the prime time slot. Whoever is planning the game this year better start thinking. With this much notice there better be a few commercials too. Let's see if anyone else can do the energizer bunny justice.
Tee hee hee.

Trek across the Prairies!

Trek across the Prairies!
What a drive on Friday! Left at 9:30 a.m. and reached Calgary at midnight. Stopped only for twice for gas in Brandon and Swift Current. Ate supper at Boston Pizza in Swift. Weather was good...we were ahead of the system in Sask. The anniversary celebration was great yesterday and we are almost ready to leave Calgary today. Papa Kojak and John just went to retrieve Jim & Marion from the hospital emergency (diabetic problems) and after they return we will start the long journey home. Should arrive sometime tomorrow! We heard you guys had some rain...and we are very curious to know how much...if you want to call..we have both our cell phones on.

Skyline begins fall harvest.

I think that's Vince in the overalls. What do you think Ashleigh?

The Grand Finalle (of this class....)

Hello!

Here are the pics of my last cake for this class. I'm pretty happy with my progress. My vines and leaves are better this week and I'm not bad at roses (if I don't mind saying so myself!). We also learned sweet peas (the blue flowers on the cake) which are really cute.

I'm still kind of floundering around thinking of ways that this can be applied to cafe cakes (making every piece have equal icing, thinking of non-cheesy arrangements of flowers, etc) so if you have any ideas for me to try, let me know!

I've signed up for the second level as well. That class is more of this type of icing and we also start on royal icing (the crunchy, candy-like flowers). Next class doesn't have a cake every week, so I'll post whatever we do each week to keep you posted! Talk to y'all later!

Ash :)
