I should probably post soon to update my life--and I should chronicle my Italy/Greece trip, since I didn't find time to keep up with my travel journal. But, this is an easy way to start, and a way to make sure I write something every day. It's not like I don't have the time...

Just to let everyone know, things are doing not so bad with my family right now. I shouldn't speak so quickly, though, because my dad is still waiting on his second biopsy results. The waiting is the hardest part, of course, but I'm fairly hopeful. If it is lymphoma, I understand that it's highly treatable, and my dad, though getting up there, ( Read more... )

I want to make some pocket pies. They look pretty simple, and you make so many of them! There could be a variety of pies, both savory and sweet! And it can all be ours for the taking ( Read more... )
