This morning I got up early and began making masks but when I came back to the house for breakfast, Vince said "I think you need to make bread today!" One thing leads to another around here . . everywhere I suppose. I have wheat that's been arriving and it's making it hard to walk in the house so Vince washed out 7 buckets. Once they were dry, I wiped them down with alcohol and started ...
