Press and Go Cars

 

Husband M got these Press and Go cars for Grandson C.  He loves getting toys for C.  These don't require batteries, you push down on them and they go.

We are at the end of February!

Recycling aToothpaste Tube


 I had wondered about recycling toothpaste tubes in this recent post.  I finally decided to try cleaning out this tube for recycling and it was easy!  It just washes out, although my sister thought it wastes water.  It took about 3 minutes.  I am happy with the results.  

Next I will try cutting at tube in half to see if it washes out even more easily.  Another sister suggested this.

Gluten free English muffin bread

 



I made some gluten free bread using a recipe from King Arthur.  It was delicious.  I had to add a lot more water to the batter to get it to the right consistency.

Sunday Smiles and Sunday in the Art Room - Favourite Painting

 

For SITAR

I am showing a favourite painting I have in my house.  It is actually a framed postcard my departed mother brought me from a trip she made to Paris back in the day. I love it.

Sharing Tom's comment on the postcard (who knows, perhaps):
...the iconic white-washed architecture of Santorini, Greece. The photo features characteristic Cycladic houses with arched ceilings, white exterior walls, and a prominent exterior staircase, reminiscent of the village of Oia?
