Something to smile about–A Katriel and Tabitha treat

Since we left NY, Katriel has been asking me to make a cake.  Since we got to SC, Tab has been asking me to make a cake.  They worked together and made us this delicious “Demona” cake.  Demona is a character from Disney’s television cartoon, Gargoyles.

It was so good.

The house is developing a few more open spaces.  There are just literally dozens and dozens of tote and boxes we don’t have any room for the contents.  Losing a basement has been horrible.  We easily had 1000 sq ft in the old basement, and while the upstairs family room here will accommodate much of the furnishings, nothing from the back room (including our massive exercise set up) has a new space.

John is working hard to develop some storage solutions.  They all take time, tools and money.  We had to unpack some boxes to find tools.  And building supplies cost more than usual now because of interrupted supply chains. 

So we just walk around the messes.

We came up with a shoe solution.  (I use the term solution in the broadest sense of the word.)

The garage is still decidedly impenetrable.
