She's going to cheer with UpWards this Fall...
'ka-kow'
Our field trip to Peterbrooke Chocolatier included a lesson on where chocolate comes from both in nature and geographically speaking, the proper pronunciation of cacao ( 'ka-kow') a taste test of the different "levels" of chocolate and most importantly the opportunity to dip various things in chocolate and take them home to indulge in later.
Our Chocolate Wonder Chef was Sandy, a.k.a. Lovie, the store's proprietor. I enjoyed watching her lead the camp and enjoyed her demeanor with the children. She's a nice lady, ya'll.
Unfortunately, my phone had already been used to entertain RyeBird before we arrived and my battery died out before the camp ended... there aren't as many pictures as I would have liked to take- though some were taken by the store that I hope to be able to share soon.
School isn't officially back in swing until after Labor Day (cause, why?) But this was a sweet way to end the summer and kick off our hands on activities for the year... and, as for the chocolate store? We'll be back for tasty treats throughout the Fall and Holiday seasons and just for a friendly chat as time allows.
A Family Affair
Family Blogging over HERE at the moment... gonna let the BigUn's try their hand at blogging this school year... maybe.
(Relinquishing creative control isn't easy...)
Either way, family updates via blog are meant to replace the evils of Facebook while allowing continued contact with those who like to know what we're up to (Hey, Grammy!).
The secondary idea is that, perhaps "family style" blogging will hold me accountable to only use the power of blogging for good, instead of the always inevitable inward contemplation... which we all know never amounts to anything good.
I'm a mess in there.
Looking back is only useful when driving...
BREWER PAGE
We've departed Facebook (again)
...for now anyhow...
But we still want to keep in touch.
And we intend to keep everyone updated with pictures and current events right here...
...for really real this time...
So, we've updated our WIX page (again)
The link is: kellyandclay.wix.com/brewport
(we are too 'thrifty' to buy a domain for something we will largely neglect)
As a placeholder page, the WIX site will mostly serve to route folks back here where all the updating action takes place...but there IS a handy email form over there...
If you'd like to be notified when we DO get around to updating this site, sign in here and you'll occasionally receive an email alert :
...SUCH A LOVELY PLACE...
Another attempt at ESCAPE from the world of Facebook- where truly you can check out but never leave... {cue Hotel California}...all family photos, videos, updates, newsletters, confessions & gossip should be found right here (until one of us caves and logs back in...)
