Thank you for all your kind wishes on my birthday. I had a great day.
I met my new mentee yesterday. It is a boy. When I first saw him, I thought that he looked familiar. Come to find out, I know his brother who has been in the mentoring program for a few years. My little boy, Dylan, is the sweetest little boy ever. He was excited and nervous to meet me. He was polite, thoughtful and cooperative. A third grader is these things??? Wow. He has a speech impediment but he works very hard to be understood. R's are especially hard for him to say. We need to work on reading, as I think he is a little behind. I instantly love this kid. This will be a good year. Lunch was a choice between chicken nuggets and a hot dog. Dylan didn't care for the (canned) pork and beans or wheat roll and only ate a bite or two of the (canned) fruit cocktail. He bought an extra chocolate milk. I asked him all about what he likes and his family. Alice In Wonderland is being put on by the Youth Theater and I would like to arrange to take him to see it. I'll have to contact his mom.
I didn't get much stitching done yesterday. I got the second frame for the Button Lover's Brag Book right inside cover. (Say that three times fast) A little bit of two borders to do and that page is done. I want to make the fabric "cards" that go in the frames. They are made of printed fabric and mounted on sturdy interfacing. Then you put your buttons on them.
I am still working on the dark brown framework for the bargello on A Spot in the Mountains.
We went to a restaurant that offers 40% off on Mondays. It was too busy and had a wait time of 45 minutes. DH hates to wait. So then we went to a different place that was not busy at all. It was a nice quiet dinner and they accomodated my request for the root beer float. It was great. I have a recipe (from Spinster Stitcher) for a root beer bundt cake. I have all the stuff to try it. But I don't have a bundt pan. Would it do well as cupcakes? Can I put it in a 9 by 13 inch pan? It might be fun to try in my mini donut pan. We'll see.

Great to see your stitching progress. You are doing well. I'm interested to hear about your mentoring - it must be really rewarding. Sounds like a lot of canned foodstuffs in the school lunches. I always imagined that schools had a cook on site to prepare healthy lunches. Must be wrong in my assumptions!! Have a lovely day
