Dutch is reading the Bible, for fun. And she's been wearing her new (to her) dark plaid dress with the puffed short sleeves and fake velvet collar every day. She's been watching "Colonial House," and is really sad that Cook and I are not going to put any effort into applying to be contestants on the next historical-themed reality show.

We have baked/cooked up 6 sticks of butter so far (please note this does not mean that we have actually CONSUMED 6 sticks of butter in the last three days - some of this is going in the freezer for another year).
