Okay, the first part isn't about Lucy but I wanted to share it anyway. i love baking and haven't had much of a chance to do it at all recently. I decided I wanted to make a lemon cake. It doesn't look as fun as I'd hoped but it still tasted good! It was just one layer high but I cut that layer in half and filled it so that it tastes like a 2-layer without having too much cake. I shaved chocolate on the top. I guess this was our "welcome to our new home" cake.
The one having the hardest time getting used to our tiny apartment is Lucy. Do you see her in this picture? She jumped from the floor to the top of this tall bookshelf. I had no idea until I saw her start chomping away at my wedding bouquet.
Here is a picture of her true destructive bored nature :) After the photo I promptly shewed her down with a water bottle. I thought it was funny how she turned her head and only chewed on the fake green parts.
I found out that she loves playing in paper sacks so we keep one around for her to help keep her occupied.
And then she discovered her friend the pigeon. See it's head on the left side of the window peeking in? They kept peeking in at each other for quite some time.
Then they got a little closer. The pigeon fascination helps keep her a little busier. The pigeon kept tapping on the window at her. I thought it was funny. It doesn't seem to be scared of her. We also think it is funny that her ear tilts towards whatever she is interested in at the time.
This week there has not been tons of action. Andrew has been working a lot. (Most of the meetings with lay leaders have to be in the evening when they aren't working) Between days in the office and evenings at
VBS and meetings he isn't around much. I went along to
VBS the other night so that we could see each other and I could meet some people from the community because our
VBS is a
tri-church effort. Yesterday a nice lady named
Bev, from the church, interviewed us for the church newsletter and than she took me out to see a little more of the area. We stopped off at Ravine Park Lake and walked a little and I got a camel apple ice cream cone. It has a nice little sandy beach that kids can swim in and you can rent paddle boats and go
miniature golfing. It seems like a nice place for families in the summer.
Bev also took me to see the "mall" here. She said most people were probably too
embarrassed of it to show me so that is why i hadn't seen it. It has a K-Mart and 2 other tiny stores but everything else has closed so it is pretty
deserted. It looks like it would be a nice place to walk in the winter or when it is hot out though because they keep it a nice temperature and it is obviously not crowded. Well, I think that is all for now.

Poor Lucy, she really does seem to be bored! But, those are really cute photos, in the paper bag and with the pigeon :) I can't believe how high she can jump, to the top of that bookcase!
Your cake looks really good, too! Yum!
I loved your pictures of the cat and the pigeon. It reminds me of the squirrels here who like to tease Starbuck. They sit in the tree and flick their tails at him as if to say "Come and get me!" He goes crazy!
