I have wrestled control of the blog content back from the truck, and we have arrived safely (more about that later) in Clearwater, Florida. The natives and the snowbirds are all griping about the chill here. But as I suspected, the lack of snow and the need for little...

Greg has stepped aside for a day to allow me some space to vent.  I am the Marco’s Paper truck, and I have gotten tired of listening to him gripe about the weather.  He should spend a few days in my tire tracks in February . . . This is me, Tuesday...

I have been taking the blame for the rotten weather in the south this winter.  In January, we went to Texas – coldest weather in at least 20 years.  Last week, we went to Georgia – same thing.  I was sensing a pattern, and getting very concerned about...

When we go south in the winter, I usually expect an improvement in the weather.  Not this year – two trips since the first of the year have sent us to Texas and Georgia, and each was experiencing its coldest weather in at least 20 years.  Last Thursday, I...

I took so many pictures last weekend while we were in Atlanta. Then I came home to two days of snow. It was probably about time -- I have been out of town twice since the first of the year, and we had snowstorms at home both times. But the weather gods are getting...

This cake is REALLY good. I got the recipe after one of our carry-in lunches at the store about 15 years ago. One of our printing customers retired and came to work for us part-time, and her boyfriend brought this cake along. Now I'll admit that it sounds strange to...

I got an e-mail on Saturday from Beth at Spellbinders who had seen my grumbling about their Blog Party. I was informed that not all of their new dies were released that way -- in fact, there were 13 more that I had missed! But here's the difference -- she went over...

For the second time in three weeks, I spent some time back in high school over the weekend. I got an e-mail from Lynn last week that she was trying to put together an "Impromptu Gathering" of some of our classmates at a sports bar about 20 minutes from my house. I...

A peek inside my head -- "I need to word the following very carefully so I don't overdo my distaste for the Spellbinders' blog party concept they use to release their new dies . . ."After I spent a good bit of time pouring through blogs to find all of Spellbinders'...
