* Alex (my godson, now thirteen) called to tell me that they had done a feature on him in the yearbook, about him making cookies ("Tiffy, they love your recipe!") and his growing skills in the kitchen. He scanned the page for me and sent it via e-mail. He's been cooking with myself and his Grammy since he was six years old and is quite the accomplished little chef. He did his first cheesecake at nine, with minimal assistance, and by eleven was making full meals.
* Amanda is working PT in both a salon and a grocery store. She is a bagger at the grocery and wants to move around to learn other positions. Her mom called this afternoon to say that she was applying for the bakery so that she could
learn how to decorate.
