They left.

Well, I got Tim and Patty to the cities on time. I hear from my Mom that they didn't make the first flight. I hope that they make the 6.30pm flight. If not I may have to drive back to the cities to pick them up. I love them but can't they sleep in the airport for the night? I have slept in many an airport. ( I'm only joking, I will pick them up if I need to )

When Patty and I went to the cities to pick up my oils for soap on the way there we saw this huge shopping thing. It's called Woodberry? Something like that. It was the oddest thing. It's a pre planed community. Kind of like a big shopping mall with roads cause it's outside not inside.
(I know, I'm doing a poor job of explaining to you.) While we drove around it ( We were looking for a Olive Garden ) I saw a Trader Joe's. I have heard of them but never been. So today on the way back from dropping Tim and Patty off I went there. Spent some money. It was a neat store. Had all kinds of food stuff. I bought some yellow Thai curry sauce and some other Thai stuff. I will be eating some Thai dinner soon.

Here is what my soap looks like. It has to sit for 24 hours covered in a blanket and now needs to sit for 24 to 48 hours till I can take it out and cut it into bars. Then it sits for 6 weeks to cure.
When I cut it into bars I will make more soap. I'm happy with the soap box that I have but I want to see how it looks cut into bars. I might want a deeper bar or longer. I might need to make a different size box. Soap making is a slow processes.

P.S. That can of Wasabi peas in the back ground? They are almost gone.

  2. I hope Tim and Patty made it out on their flight, if not I'm sure went back to bring them home.

    That soap looks interesting.

  4. We are home. We got in at about 11:30 AK time. Got in bed by 12:15 - dogs went nuts to see us. Up at 6:00 am to go to work. I'm tired.
