Elizabeth
As the semester ends, E&M (well, just E - how lucky M is
to still be in elementary school, or so insists E) have lots of school projects
and I am in the middle of finals. One
extra credit project E is working on involves mummifying a chicken over a 5-week
period. It's been spectacular fun to drain
the rotting chicken and fill it up with salt each week after weighing it. Elizabeth puts a chip clip on her nose each
week, so only I must suffer the decaying dead chicken aroma.
On a more pleasant note, E and I continued our yearly
tradition of going to the Lexington Ballet's production of The Nutcracker. I love it, she loves it, and we are beginning
to remember ballerinas from one year to the next, which roles they played, and
how long they've been with the troupe.
If we could watch the Sugar Plum Fairy's dance each day, we would. Less so the Chinese dance; we don't like
those pointy fingers.
