Day two of the Mosheim School Heritage Days went a little better than the first day. I had first, second and third graders visit me this time. Kindergarteners were scheduled during the first half hour, but they didn't show. Then sixth graders were scheduled for the last half hour and they didn't show either. I would have liked having the 5 yr. olds, but didn't miss the older ones at all. The little kids are easier to impress with hand shears, the smell of a dirty fleece, the spinning wheels and the spinning process itself. Basket weaver Diane brought a whole variety of baskets on Tuesday, including one made of whale baleen, some teensy ones, including one made of horse hair and one of telephone wire.
Thanksgiving Day was the same ol', same ol' as far as the food went. DD provided the turkey and potatoes, but I had to cook them, plus vegetables and gravy. I made an apple pie on Wednesday and DD brought pumpkin pies (which were overdone because her oven is hotter than the setting). We told her to get an oven thermometer.
Thursday morning I had woken up with a scratchy throat, usually the precursor to a cold, and it didn't disappoint me. By the time we ate, around 2, I was blowing my nose about every 10 min. Yesterday and today I've been wheezing, coughing, spitting, and napping. I've been sleeping in the recliner the past two nights, partly to stay slightly elevated and partly because I can't be coughing in my sleep right next to DH. He can't afford to catch a cold right now, which brings me to . . .
