Sippin’ – better than ever!

First, Jamie: Now: more new stuff. There’s no doubt that the Cle Elum Seven have the best supporters out there. Remember all of the new stuff that I posted about back in December? Well, the gifts have kept coming. In addition to the heater that is keeping J.B. warm as he welds (thanks to Barb…
Read MoreNew benches! + What’s with all the reassurance?
J.B. has already applied his new welding skills by fabricating two new awesome benches for the playroom. Thanks to Barb from Ohio for aiding in the project by “adopting” J.B. and purchasing the workshop heater from our amazon.com wish list.

Today volunteer Kim brought over a discarded tree from her friend Michelle. Kim “decorated” the tree with food for lunch. Later, volunteer Pam came and told me about a Swedish holiday called St. Knut’s (or Canute’s). It was on January 13th. It seems the chimps celebrated it well, though a bit late…
