I keep trying to grow mint, and it doesn't take off. Possibly the altitude is too high, although we used to have a lot of catnip. I know someone who has a lot of mint in her yard, so I'll see if I can get some more from her.
It seemed like the perfect cake for you. I've never had one of those cakes that are enclosed in the rolled out frosting like that. They seem to be more for looking than eating, but I'm sure they are good. One thing I miss about having a job is once in awhile there would be a sheet cake.
Nice to hear from you. I looked at some of your old posts - one was about stopping smoking - did you stay stopped?
That's really funny. Reminds me of a new cinnamon roll recipe I tried yesterday.
The property insurance rates in Moore must be really high, or they should be, as a deterrent to people rebuilding in such a proven hazard zone.
Lovely. It's so nice when people think of returning things to the original person, and they have such a nice feel about them. I like that horse behind the post.
My sister and I didn't have jobs until we were in college, and I appreciated that freedom through high school. Things have changed for today's teenagers because in order to get scholarships and admission to good colleges, so much emphasis is placed on having activities and community involvement in addition to good grades. I don't know if a kid who had to work as a busboy would get the same respect from college admissions committees as those who had more options.
That's the kind of story that ends up Judge Judy - at some point the old fool realizes she's not going to come around so sues her for back rent and the title to the car and loans.
Jeez, Jon, that's beautiful. You've captured the rocks and fall bushes, and the background just right - I feel like I'm looking up one of the side streams around here.
How come, with your year-round nice weather, you can't grow veggies year-round? Your coldest weather during the winter is warmer than a lof of my summer growing season.
If we didn't have mirrors and cameras and calendars, we'd never know we are getting old.
The nice thing about depression is those meds - that they are available and they work when nothing else will. I would never look forward to having to take them, and the side effects, but it's comforting to know they would be there if I ever needed them again.
I'll give you plenty of notice if I'm coming!
So good to hear from you. I was having a lot of knee problems, lost 10 pounds, and it went away with only an occasional twinge maybe twice a year. Mind you, this wasn't the last 10 pounds to get to normal weight, so don't think what difference will only 10 out of 30 or more make - it really does make a big difference.
