So much to do , So Little time..

Hello again,
Well Kim and Ashleigh will be here in 2 days and I need to clean the apartment up a little. I still have not gotten a bed for Ash to sleep in. Last year I moved the big couch into the bedroom and made it the entertainment room. I may do the same this time as well, it just depends on what she prefers. I really like the way the LR is arranged now but I can change it. I have priced beds here new and they are not cheaply priced, $350 to $500 with mattress, and those are the budget models. I have looked on some of the classified ad websites for beds and they are certainly reasonable, but I have a problem with a "USED" bed.
It has been a bit dusty lately but not as bad yet as they have forecast. The afternoons are a bit windy and that's when the dust kicks up. Temps are really warm but not any warmer or hotter than expected for this time of year. The Girls may have a time adjusting to it. but I don't mind it at all.
Still no elevator. I have no clue what the hold up is unless it is inspections. I am pretty sure the work has all been finished. So again we wait for it to work.
Still trying to bake the perfect loaf of whole wheat bread. Seems to always come out dry and crumbly so I have to modify the recipe some more. More liquid or less flour or both. I guess since the relative humidity is so low here, I may need more liquid, so on the next loaf I will try that. The bread does taste great though, but I will also add more honey to the dough, and maybe some OATS, both will help retain moisture in the bread when it bakes ( so I have read). Also want to get a bread slicing jig. Maybe Ikea has one that will not break my bank.

Krista is still waiting for the arrival of her baby. Kim is pretty disappointed that she has not come yet. She wanted to at least hold the baby once before coming over here, but she still has almost 2 days. She leaves Wednesday afternoon. Alyssa seems so excited that she will have a new "sister". She does not understand the concept of cousin, so this baby will be her sister.

I guess that is about all I can write today, everyone take care.

Ma'assalama -
