I don't think there is a lot to explain about this cake: unless that it's to inform you that it's raspberry and there isn't any left. It was in honor of great grandmother Simonne coming for coffee yesterday. I am writing mostly about our new keyboard: It was the furthest pictured keyboard that we bought, with the bench and a fine pedal, for practicing on,just so the winter holidays don't sink us like they did last year with no practice!! The shop owner who sold it to us said, "It's a breath of fresh air to hear you play in this shop- most of all we get loud punks in here who know only one song, and play it as loudly as possible!" There were a lot of electric guitars there. We put the new keyboard in the car (without the box! The car was too small-typical!) and drove through the snow and wind to park it in the kids' bedroom upstairs. Their great uncle enjoyed an impromptu recital a couple of days ago! Today much to his surprise he found himself accompanying me on my violin! That was really enjoyable! The kids have had not too many bookishly academic moments recently, but have had a lot of language practice! We have our Saxon math books and Explode the Code in a drawer nearby. But first on our to-do list we need to experience some trains and some water slides. The kids also had the experience of sitting very, very, very quietly in the morning meeting today... not as usual. Also singing from hymnals with notes in them.
