Today my friend Shanna and I worked on some IOS tutorials. At first things were kind of confusing and we both ran into some issues. She was able to help me through mine and I was able to help her through hers and then we both learned enough to work through other issues on our own. All in all it is pretty easy and I think we can have our own app built in a couple of weeks.

Our living room wall is all torn up because the guys are installing a tv mount that vanishes into the arch between the living and dining rooms. Wayne worked on it all day and then the two of them got the mount semi-installed tonight. This house is going to be one big construction zone for years to come.

Today I learned that the word blanch also means “make white or pale by extracting color; bleach” and “(of a person) grow pale from shock, fear, or a similar emotion”. Alice was referring to what needs to be done to grow celery so it doesn’t turn dark green like parsley leaves. I had no idea!
