Martin's off for Spring break, and today he finished his grading. (Simultaneously I think I blew up the vacuum cleaner with a wooden puzzle piece).
And tonight, at our dear friends with the crazy-steep driveway and the warm home, we completely STUFFED ourselves. First the little girls (four of them) had tea with real sugar cubes and scones, and then we ate an incredible dinner, and then we revelled in delightfully sinful desserts called the somewhat scandalous name Chocolate Explosions. (They do indeed explode--baked to a soft, porous cakelike outside, at a touch of a fork the insides rush forth in a chocolate lava--delicious). All in all, a wonderfully promising beginning to a much-anticipated week-long break.
