Mein’s New Dress
Last week, we did nothing in particular. The plague came back, and it feels like it is drawing closer each day. We can only hope to keep ourselves safe. A lot of our friends are not feeling particularly awesome. Each time we speak with someone we know, they are sick of one thing or another. It is really disconcerting. We started by praying for two people who did not feel particularly awesome. The list is starting to grow. Anyhow, at least my brother and mother are safe. I pray for their safety every day. Since we were stuck at home...
My Lovely Monarch Butterfly
The other day I got a new bloom of those Mexican Sunflowers. Those tiny seeds were a really good investment. Now the garden has Monarch Butterflies as permanent residents. We have about four. If everything goes well, they will stay in Florida before heading out to Mexico. Their butterfly games are a real joy to watch. They usually cluster together whenever there is a storm about to hit. The flowers in the photo are perfect. They are pointing upward and they have a lot of nectar. They have mainly nectar because the bees do not visit the flowers. The bees...
Mammoth Sunflower Taller than Me
Today, I was in a flowery type of mood. Things could be better in my life around the edges. I am praying for someone to get good medical news. I did a Saint Prayer, and a Rosary too. True faith can move mountains, as all. I don’t doubt it. What you believe is none of my business. Other people’s belief should not be big businesses either. It was just like in Medieval Times. You can hurt a person a lot, but you really can’t change the way a person thinks. Belief comes from within, not from without. If it is...
Lovely Cuban Flan Recipe
There is one thing that mother makes best. That is flan. Her flans are like super amassing. I wanted to share her recipe for amassing flan with the world. It seemed like something fun to write about. I took a photo of all the steps. We are going to make an infographic about it, maybe. I don’t know. I am going to stick with what I do best. I am just going to post the best pics of the progress. Hopefully, you will be able to understand the instructions. Some people work better with words, instead of pictures. The first...
My Third BJD Doll Mein Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Mein is very different from Bebe. I am not one to change the names of the dolls. It is as if you change the name of some random brat you meet, like in the Simpsons. Mein was a bit problematic to get. The person who made the doll left Bonanza. I had just given her the money, through paypal. I was not certain if the doll was coming or not. Since we did not heard of the vendor, we started the progress of getting the money back. Eventually, the doll did arrive. We could have easily pretended not to have...
