Morning all. Trissie I just googled the cake too. Compared to the cake shop decorating you do that is pretty simple
But how on earth do you get the layered look. You are always so productive you can do it. I hope the party goes well.
Kittykat enjoy your sunny day. Hopefully next week will turn productive for dh next week.
Gma I get the laundry. Dad takes a while to get it folded so it all comes to my old bed in a huge pile and I sometimes fold it. Mom will get stuff on her as well. Come to think of it though I think maybe dad was noticing or she is having to wash everything more often? She went through a stage where she'd be in the same shirt for a couple weeks if you didn't take it away for wash. She'd find something on her sleeve and hide it. Then put it on the next day again. Seems less so lately.
Speaking of berries. I bought that bottle of pectin. Today I am going to put the jam back in the pot. Add some pectin and boil it more. Try and get them to seal. I usually don't have trouble sealing jars. If not in the freezer they go.
It's super wet outside I think a bit of a storm overnight. Wouldn't be shocked if the rest of the berries are gonna just fall when I touch them. Oh well. Inside day. Jam. Ds wants cheesecake. Maybe I can start with some detail cleaning.
Other thing I have to decide... was dad .. yes I think. Hinting without asking for some help cleaning. He has booked the appraiser for selling the house. Next year he says. They are coming Tuesday. But he was mentioning it needs a little cleaning. Ugh. Wasn't my plan and he didn't outright ask. I don't know. We'll see. My house needs attention too. All the details. And my craft room is still a dump room. I'd like one day for it to be usable... the diligent daughter says dad's house.. other me says I'm tired and my house needs help and and...
Priority list
