I didn't say in the last post, but I thought that book might be of particular interest to Dorothy.

New checks arrived, and with no parchment copy pages included they're slim, two books of checks attached side-by-side on a piece of paperboard and in a flat plastic envelope. Not the classic box of checks I've seen all my life. Apparently many people don't recognize what they are because the parcel says "Do not discard. Your order is enclosed." I thought I ordered 200, but it is 100. Still, at the rate I write checks, a lifetime supply. So many things one orders these days end up not being what you expected, even with vigilance when making the purchase.

There is a lot to do around here, I hope to cross a couple of things off of the list in the kitchen. One of the things to do today is make a batch of yogurt that I will in turn drain (fill cheesecloth and hang over kitchen sink for several hours) to use as yogurt cheese (it comes out more like cream cheese than lebne).

Nearly halfway through the year, one more month and it's the downhill slide. Were there things we wanted to do by now that we've finished (or have we forgotten what our plans were and just moved through space and time in a haphazard fashion?)
