Sad news....

Tripp didn't make it.  I HATE this part of animal-ownership! :sigh:

To distract myself, I made 2 batches of cheese - the first, Queso Fresco, a quick, semi-hard cheese.  The 2nd, Farmhouse Cheddar - it's in the hanging to drain stage right now.  IF I timed it right, the Queso Fresco will be ready to come OUT of the press at the same time the Cheddar needs to go in.  (If not, I have a cheap press - our first one - that you don't know how much pressure is being used.  It'll work to finish, if need be.)

Also:  last night Herself and I revamped my soap boxes.  Same boxes, same labels, but we're adding a strip of scrapbook paper over the top.  Adds color, lets me know which soap is which...we'll see how it works.  I can't guarantee the same papers, of course, but for now I'm happy with it.

I'm getting ready to re-vamp the soap storage, too - right now, all the ready-to-sell soaps are in 1 large Rubbermaid box; the not-quite-ready ones are in another.  It works....but I have to rummage thru a lot of soaps to pull out specific ones...and you can't tell HOW MANY of each I have.

I'm going to pick up some plastic shoeboxes - 1 box per scent.  There's room in the armoire to store them....and it'll make things more organized.  I like organization...even if I'm not
