The hideous orange and brown floral wallpaper that previously occupied the Smith's living room is totally history! The walls are now a cheery beige/cream color. I think the paint was called "barley" but when I think barley I think of a darker color than what it really is. The walls now match the cat Peaches' fur after she has been bathed. Speaking of which, I think it is high time to give the creature a sponge bath because she has been hanging out in the rafters of the shed.
I have renewed my love for reading books this summer. I kind of stopped reading real books for a while this past year or so. But I signed up to host the relief society book club this last time so I was forced to pick a book and read it. We did Anne of Green Gables mostly because it was kind of a short easy read. But I must say I am quite fond of books. I started reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass last night. It's weird, but entertaining.
So, we are feeding the missionaries tonight and Rachel invited the lady she works for and her husband over. So I, feeling quite ambitious, decided to make some whole wheat rolls from the freshly ground flour we had sitting around. I think that they would have turned out quite well if the blasted yeast weren't so old. Or maybe I used too hot of water whilst letting it fester. I shall have to try again another day. We are having noodles as part of our meal so my would-be delicious rolls won't be needed. They actually didn't taste half bad, they were just dense and kind of crumbly. Probably because I left them out for so long trying to get them to rise just a little bit. Oh well, I can crumble them up and make some pretty good cereal. Hmm, perhaps some granola is in order to be cooked. Time to go prepare for guests.
