A few Miscellaneous Photos

Here is the boys' Tower Crane science project (double pulley system hanging on a lever with a counterweight at the other end). It spins around on a 'slew gear (the black part)'! The pulley can shift further from the centre post for lifting lighter loads.

I finally uploaded a few Chinese New Year photos I had taken. Hope you enjoy them.

Well, today I made Barbara's Sultana cake, it smelled heavenly and is very delicious. I didn't even burn it! I put pecans in it.

L's a lot better today, but still home from school. The doctor gave her an antibiotic because of her history and symptoms. Her chest was clear, but he felt that she might be on the verge of bronchitis or pneumonia.

Great photos Christine. You made Barbara's cake - it does look good doesnt it. I am going to try it too! Um that crane looke like a work of art. Are they going to be engineers?

I agree with Lilly--a work of art! I was also wondering if they are in a special science class, because they are having WAY more fun than Roxi.

I LOVE fast Asian food. Love it. I don't get it often enough out here in the boonies. When Roxi and I are on our own in The Hague, there is a lovely noodle place we like to visit in China Town :-)

Glad to hear your sweet girl is on the mend. That is scary to think that an asthma attack could lead to bronchitis or pneumonia.

Lilly, the only thing different I would do next time is to soak the raisins in water instead of the fruit juice option to lessen the sugar content.

Japra, K is in an IB school that's too hard for him! I think that project was more like grade 10 or 11. Too bad about Asian food not being nearby! With L, it's more that you don't want to end up getting bronchitis if you have asthma.
