A NAP!!!!!!!
Today I was up, walking Porque Choppe a bit later than usual...6:15A.M. Then I got busy baking treats for the reception to follow Benny's recital this evening. He has finished Suzuki Book I and that means that he has to give a concert. I've heard him play his pieces and he's doing just great. Big improvement. Another little boy is finishing Book III...he's nearly 10, so we aren't jealous. For Benny to finish Book I at age 5 is just fine.
Lydia and the other little boy's mother agreed to do a Halloween themed reception after the recital. The other lady is doing drinks. Lydia said she'd do treats and decorations. So since Lydia has already got way too much to do, I took on the reception prep. Lydia did cupcakes anyway.
So there I was sweating away in the kitchen this morning right from the crack of dawn. First I made chocolate chip cookies with little pumpkins and ghosts on top. Then I made cookies that have a pumpkin smiling up from the center. Next were sugar cookies in bat, hat, pumpkin, and ghost shapes and I decorated those with colorful icing. Next I made brownies in the shape of pumpkins and ghosts and decorated those, also, with icing. Finally I made meringue and piped it onto parchment in the shape of bones. Those are in the oven at the moment. My back is "killing me". TIRED. Nonstop work since before the sun came up. Right now is the first time I've been seated all morning.
Lydia just popped in the deliver my pans that were at her house. When she arrived, I was upstairs looking for fall fabric. Got it somewhere...with colored leaves etc. Pretty. Benny knocked on the door and it took me a while to get downstairs. I apologized for taking so long to get the door open and said that I'd been upstairs. Lydia asked brightly, "Taking a nap?" :-)strong>
