It Floats

My dad has been building a kayak. He got hooked on kayaking during his and Mom's trip to Alaska. So much so that he decided to build one. This past week, he finished it. I'm not sure how long it took him, but they went to Alaska last August. They got it out of the basement and sent it on it's maiden voyage sometime this week. Every time I go to visit, he wants to take me kayaking, but we usually don't have the time. Maybe Jason and I will find a weekend to go visit and learn how to kayak. (We won't mention the time before Dad took his homemade kayak out. Something about lots of water.)

I Scream

So I made ice cream today. It wasn't frozen solid when we ate it, but it was good. The recipe I used didn't make as much as we thought, but that's all right. Now we know the recipe is good and know how to make more. I also made one of my camp favorites, gorp. Jason had never heard trailmix called gorp, but he liked it just the same.

I turned off our newly fixed air conditioning to open windows today. It was so nice. Very windy, but nice. I'm hoping that it will stay like this for a couple of days so we can finally get our garden weeded. (And an FYI to Jason's mom, our raspberries are almost ready!)

We also saw the Transformers movie yesterday. It was really good, if you like that type of movie. If you like the first one, you'll like this one.

At Last

We got our air conditioner fixed today. It's nice having a not humid house. Our dehumidifier was working almost not stop over the last week. Zara even feels better now that it's not quite so hot and sticky. She actually plays while she's on the main floor. She's been loving getting to be in our bedroom. She especially like sleeping on the bed, right next to my legs. I guess Jason moves too much in his sleep. She does like to pounce on his feet, though. Zara has found a lot of hiding places for herself. She probably even smells the mouse that was running around in our room almost a year ago. The mouse which prompted us to get Zara!
The pictures I posted are of the bread Mom and I made last weekend, and the sort of pie/torte we made for Father's day. They both tasted delicious! I'm making some loaves of bread tonight, since it's a lot cooler now. I'm hoping to use it for sandwiches tomorrow for lunch before we go see the Transformers movie. This is one of maybe three movies we'll see this summer. The other two being Ice Age 3, which is out next week, and the Harry Potter movie, coming out in July. (I can't wait for July 17th!!!)
