Two: An Island you must visit and more on Pesto
February 26, 2009 
1. Pesto with cashews is really really good. (There are no pine nuts that I know of in India, and if they were, they'd probably be too expensive.)
2. Our friends who came over for dinner showed us pictures of where they live on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. We have one more place on our map of Must Visit.
3. Renee and the Canadian girls (Becca, Cat, and Jocelyn) took the kids to their house for a few hours of fun this afternoon. They played games (Leafy invented a version of Duck Duck Goose called Cake Cake GHOST!) and ate yummy stuff. I stayed home and...
4. Worked on my book, which I actually fell in love with all over again. I think I love it. I love the characters. (I'm not saying you will love it, but I do.)
5. Now that we have government water, the laundry smells nice again! (The water in the well had all sorts of stink.)

The laundry looks lovely. I love Leafy's game. We may have to play it in honor of him.
Random thoughts from me:
I look forward to reading this book you're writing!
I'm also glad that your laundry smells nice again.
I used to make pesto with sunflower seeds when I couldn't afford pine nuts.
Happy to hear you are getting some lovely breaks to be creative. And the best breaks are when you know your kids are having so much fun- as making up games. And good smelling laundry, really, that is a good thing. Mine used to smell like smog, uck!
I am SURE I will love the book... I can't wait to read it. Your writing is totally addictive, and happiness inducing, for me.
