Hi, it's me again...only 2 months after my last post...sorry! College has been crazy lately - translating Hosea, for example, and working on an Ecclesiology paper, practicing extricating people from vehicles (Emergency Response class), Greek homework, working in the bakery, piano, reading a 700-page book...and blowing bubbles! That's right, I'm giving you a how-to on a sure way to brighten your day - and it won't cost you a thing, since you (hopefully) wash your hands often anyway! I re-discovered this trick recently and found it quite enthralling. Here's how to do it:
1. Soap up really well. I'm still figuring out the proportions here, but it definitely seems like more soap is better - and it'll get rid of more germs, too! Get your hands wet, but not so much that you wash all the soap off.
2. Rub your thumb against the side of your forefinger. This is where you want the highest concentration of soap to be.
3. Slowly slide your thumb down toward the tip of your finger, making sure they stay touching at all times.
4. You now have your very own bubble wand! If you've kept contact between your thumb and finger, you should have a thin film of soap in the middle of the circle. If not, repeat steps 2 and 3, adding a little more soap or water if necessary.
5. Now blow gently through the circle, carefully forming your bubble. When it gets the size you want it, close the circle, again keeping the finger and thumb together. The bubble will sit neatly in your hand!
Try it out! You can get them pretty big when conditions are right. If your other hand is still soaped, you can sometimes play with the bubble without popping it.
Make sure you try this out the next time you wash your hands! If you have kids, though, you might want to keep this a secret...I can see how this power could be very messy in the wrong hands. ;) Enjoy your Spring!!!

Hey silly fun I love it. The new set up looks good. Cant wait till you come home.
I do that sometimes, only I use both my hands- both thumbs and forefingers so they make a square- no, just a quadrilateral. (I've been doing geometry lately.) Our sister was laughing at the post. We all know, however, that this is how you relieve stress. It's a fun way, too.
Although snow is in our forecast (hopefully the reporters were wrong), we need to talk about garden plans.
Only three weeks til you guys come home!!! =D
