It was one of the highlights of the year - the kids loved it, the parents thought it was awesome, and even someone as uncoordinated as I am found it surprisingly easy to do once I "got it" - kinda like riding a bike. The rhythm and motion is mesmerizing, and it is actually a very relaxing activity. <BR/>Hearing that song again sure brought back memories - thanks!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19460502257327013.post-256655720582954132009-02-22T09:07:00.000-08:002009-02-22T09:07:00.000-08:00Hmmm....normally I can click on a You-tube link an...Hmmm....normally I can click on a You-tube link and go straight to the video.

Licking the bowls is always the very best part of "helping" in the kitchen.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could do raw because I do believe it is a healthier alternative than processed dog food of any kind. But with four dogs (two of them large) it would cost me about $12-$15 a day (not counting the cost of a food processor and a freezer!). But for those who can do it - way to go! <BR/>Good blog entry - I love how you show the steps photo by photo.

Maybe there's a book hidden somewhere on the shelves.<BR/><BR/>Jean, I love Archy and Mehitabel. We reference them all the time in my family.

Possibly my dad overlooked them as he was a stickler for spelling words correctly. <BR/>I will definitely be looking for them in the used bookstores and thrift shops around here!<BR/>My favourite British children's books, once I had outgrown Rupert Bear, Winnie the Pooh, and the Beatrice Potter books, were the Adventures of the Famous Five by Enid Blyton. <BR/>My all time favourite book as an adult is Archie and Mehitable, a story written by a cockroach. I have my ninth grade English teacher to thank for introducing me to that book - she read it to the class in the last ten minutes of each day, just for the joy of reading.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19460502257327013.post-4967163414091313192008-08-29T17:59:00.000-07:002008-08-29T17:59:00.000-07:00Hey Nonny Nonny!
