Hi all.I’ve got some questions for you and I’d love to hear your comments and get your insights on a few or all of them. On your own blog, would you rather see the icons and faces of followers in the box (it’s always nice to know we’re not alone) or are you just as happy with subscribers through an email feed or reader page who are not visible for display?

NOOOoooooo!!! Ugh! Can you believe this? After anticipating the taste of these beauties since they were little sprouts and diligently watching them ripen for weeks this occurs!! I have a couple questions for the gardeners out there ~ What the heck is eating the tomatoes on the vine and what would peel off the skin in little pieces and eat half the fruit? Heartbreaking. My next question ~ Can you slice off the eaten spots and eat the rest of… [Read More]

I’m all a-dither this week with the approach of Mad Men’s new season! I’ve got a great give-away planned that even Betty would love and I’m going to have some fun with a collection of Mad Men inspired decorated iced cookies I’m making along with a quiz to see if you can match the cookie to the character! In the meantime while the cookies bake and the icing dries, I thought I’d share some ads I found from the 50’s… [Read More]
I’m feeling very silly today.Must be a hold-over from my childhood watching Saturday morning cartoons. Have you ever imagined you could have tea with the queen or be in a hot tub with Wills or Harry?
