The new year came in with ferocity! 50 mph wind gusts, snow, and coooold! But, it's to be expected. Winter.

I made some cinnamon buns yest.--my first attempt. Messy dough, but worth the effort. Today, I'm going to make a rhubarb/blueberry crisp. I found some '06 rhubarb in the freezer (2011 blubes).

My nephew, wife and 2 yr old son were flying in from Washington yest. to visit all of us (mother Barbara). But their plane had "mechanical difficulties" and was grounded. You know what that means? NOT GOOD! Everything was put on hold. I'm waiting for a phone call from my sister to see when or if they made it. I hate flying.

Barb's other son, who lives in Chicago, evidently broke his collarbone while riding his bike to work. Since bad things seem to happen in threes, Barb is worried about her daughter (in S.C.).

I don't like this change in the traditional New Year's Day bowl games being played on the second of Jan. It just doesn't seem right. Pro games yesterday were poor substitutes. Besides, all but one of today's games is on ESPN, to which I no longer subscribe. Boo hiss. The Rose Bowl not on NBC? What's becoming of our world?

Hope you have a good week.
