Day 105

Today was my birthday! Pheww it was a really long day, extra duties at work (in which I was totally soaked by a massive pot of chili) and a fun little party for one of Peach's sweet friends who has the same birthday as me!  Add to that Aaron is out of town and keeps calling me from places like Suite 100 and the Brewhouse (stinker). Not to worry we will celebrate with Aaron on Sunday when he gets back, and I know he is totally spoiling me and bringing back gifts-but Caleb was my sweetest boy today. His class had a party at school as well and he specially requested to bring home the last cupcake to me. Carried it home on the bus all by himself and had it waiting for me when I got home from the party.

I also learned from a master how to make kulich today. Kulich is a Russian Easter bread made by the Russian Orthodox women every year. Tomorrow there will be a big bake sale down town at the church, but Bertha is the master Easter Bread maker and she was mixing up her dough today at the school. She used to be a lunch lady at East you see, back in the olden days when everything was handmade-everything from the bread to the spaghetti sauce. I had a wonderful visit with her and learned how to make Easter bread.
