How thoughtful of you to use your grandma's recipe. Even if he doesn't recognize it, what a lovely way to honor her. Time is a gift that is never lost.
day 27- banana bread and time

giving a dollar to someone could be fun. You could slip a dollar into a pocket or backpack of a classmate. You could think of someone you know who lives wherever, and mail them a dollar. Last week I made muffins and took them to class to share with…

Congratulations on the mitten! I am trying to learn how to knit, and my first project is a hat. I keep getting messed up and then I have to go down to the knit shop to get straightened out. It can be frustrating to be a beginner, so I'm…

So important to tell people they are writers. Someone did that for me once and it resulted in 2 (unpublished) novels. Somehow the encouragement gets the words flowing.
day 24- a mitten
today i gave a half of a gift actually. i started knitting foo mittens a couple weeks ago. well, a mitten. and i finally finished the first one today. i've never knitted mittens before, and it's always hard the first time i knit something new. i was so so so excited when i finished the first one and it turned out well that i gave foo half of her mittens gift today. and she likes it! tomorrow i think i'll start on the second one. hopefully it will go faster than the first one since i know a bit…See More

You are making me so hungry with descriptions of banana bread muffins - they sound like wonderful gifts that everyone will enjoy.
day 19- muffins
foo and i are making banana bread muffins as thank you gifts for my aunt joan's science olympiad. she has 70 or so judges and we are making the thank yous since she has so much on her plate organizing the rest of it. so today we did a test run of the recipe, and made 6 giant muffins. so this evening i went on a tour of the town, visiting and dropping off muffins. i went to my grandpa's house first, gave him a muffin and chatted a bit, then to my aunt ellen's house, and gave her two muffins and…See More

day 29- lunch and ice cream
Posted on February 26, 2010 at 7:31pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
today is my 29th day! today i brought foo to sonic for lunch. she's never eaten there, and she thinks the idea of a carhop bringing your food is really funny, so today i brought her for a surprise lunch at sonic. i don't really like that kind of food, but foo got some and liked it ok. i think the experience was really what we were there for. and on the way home, we stopped and got my dad some ice cream. which he really likes!

day 28- a phone call

My gift for today was to call a friend from baltimore who i haven't talked to in a while. i was just going to call to say hi, but when we talked, i got to talking about new things going on in my life, and she got to talking about all kinds of things in her life. it was a really great conversation- but also i think it was at the right time for her- i think she's in a huge transition phase of her life- and i think she's realizing new things about her feelings of self-worth, and also what kinds of… Continue

My gift for today was sushi lunch for foo. she loveloveloves sushi, and i really don't like it, and since we started traveling we almost always eat together, and so we never eat sushi. so last weekend i secretly bought a groupon (i love groupons!) for a local sushi place that's supposed to be pretty good. and today i brought foo to lunch but didn't tell her where we were going. and she got to eat sushi! it was a little funny and awkward that i mostly just sat there while she had three rolls in… Continue
