Busy Bees...

Hello Friends!

We have been busy, busy, busy (especially Ryan).  I just tend to keep myself pretty busy, he had no choice in the matter.  Yesterday I made a paper chain to count down to the days when I get to start eating cheese again!

I guess being a Wisconsin girl I really know my priorities! :o)  It was another beautiful day outside, so I spent a little bit of time sitting watching the harbor.  My favorite ducks in the whole world came to visit; eventually I looked them up to see what they were called and I found out they are the smallest diving duck called "buffleheads".  Here is a picture...

they may not look all that great, but they dive down under the water and then pop back up and it is always super duper cute!  While I was out watching them a Seagull friend swooped down and stood about 3 feet away from me.  He wanted me to feed him; I usually throw them my old veggies (which veggies here go bad really fast).  So here is my friend...

Today I did another art project.  Ryan's classroom has a board that tells the students all the information they need to know about their "economy" which he put together a while back.  Today I erased everything and made it look like a cute menu board at a cafe.  I think the pictures speak for themselves, take a look...

Right now I am cooking dinner for Ryan, making him lasagna, and preparing my lunches for this week, 100g extra lean hamburgers.  Ryan is vigorously reading, analyzing, and highlighting research papers for his thesis paper.  He has 32 articles to read before wednesday.  Talk about procrastination kicking you in the butt!  Well that is all the news I have for now.  Later gators.
Oh also we did check out the moon the other night and it was clear enough for us to see it.  It was not nearly as big as I had hoped.  Bummer for living in AK and not WI for the big show!  Maybe next time (20 years from now)!
