Silly Orange Peel Challenge
Can you remove a whole orange peel in one piece?
This one didn't quite make it!
I'll keep trying...

Steam Train and Boats
On Saturday Mark drove us all down to Williton to ride the West
Somerset Railway steam train.
Jessica, Ada, cousin Lola and I rode from Williton to Washford (5 or 6 miles).
We were supposed to get off at Watchit, but we misunderstood the number of stops and went on to the next one by mistake. But Mark drove over and picked us up and brought us back to Watchit.
There is a harbor there, so we got to see lots of boats -- all sitting on the mud in the harbor because the tide was out. The Bristol Channel has the second highest tide range in the world. At the Port of Bristol the mean range is 31.5 feet. So all along the channel, when the tide goes out the boats sit on the bottom.

iPhoneotomy
One of our phones had a face plant on the kitchen tile floor. It was still working fine, but didn't look so good.
After searching for help on the Web, it was decided that it was worth the $25 investment to order the replacement display and try a replacement.
The replacement part looked like this. (This is actually the old one, face down.)
Tiny screws were involved...
Lo and behold, the phone looks much better and still works...mostly. It does everything it is supposed to, but throws 'watchdog timeout' error logs. The other phone doesn't do that. It also spontaneously rebooted itself periodically for a while, but it has been stable all day today.
Overall, we're happy.

Bob is Back
He/she walked up from the creek along our back retaining wall, and settled down under the bushes next to the neighbors driveway.

Multipadding
Danielle is no longer challenged by using only one iPad...
Naomi and Danielle and Pa made sock snowmen following the pattern Naomi learned.
Danielle's had long hair with gold baubles. And a skirt!
