Rhythm class

Saturday

After I got ready for the day, I read messages for over an hour. I asked Chris for a massage. Later we took our showers. I tried on the new leggings before putting on the waistband. They stayed on so I kept them on.

I made cheese squares for tomorrow. I made and ate breakfast. We got into an argument over what I was listening to. Finally, I went to sewing class. A new lady came with her daughter. Also the Clark kids. I showed them how to make the cinnamon-scented pot mats. It was a quick project and everyone was done and gone by 3.

I came home early, read messages again. Michelle came over with 4 quarts of goat milk and 4 very large pomegranates. I ate a pomegranate, and heated half a gallon of milk for cheese purposes. Keli came over for coffee grounds. I read messages, then added vinegar to the hot milk and scooped the curds. I inoculated a second cooler batch with biffidobacterium and put it in the dehydrator to keep warm. Later I added rennet. Chris made soup and I had a bowl for supper. I looked up some easy popular hymns to drum to.

Then I went to the chapel for Project Night. I unlocked the door and let Jenni and Sophia in. Jenni asked how to make the pot mat project and I showed her. Janet and her daughter came too, as well as Casey, Summer and another new lady. Summer showed her how to crochet. I took Janet and Sophia into the sanctuary and gave them each a pair of drum sticks. Janet's daughter got a pair too. Then I explained about quarter notes and half notes and whole notes. We practiced on Jesus Loves Me and O Come All Ye Faithful. It went ok, but would have been better with a simple line, not part of a double staff.

At 8, Sophia had to leave. I showed Janet how to make the pot mat and she made it with her daughter. Then I sat with Summer and she showed me how to crochet a round kitchen scrubbie. We chatted with Jenni and Casey. Then Casey packed up and went home. The ladies helped me pack up the machines and stuff. Then we locked the church and went home.

When I got home, I realized I had curdling milk in the dehydrator. The directions said to cut the curd in ½ pieces and stir them for 25 minutes. Usually I only stir for 1 minute. But this time I hooked up the automatic stirring unit and let it run while I worked on my blog.  However, the result was no better than before.  So then Chris and I read the latest e-mails and went to bed.
