I just finished Things To Do by Nell Dixon, my very first e-book. I have to admit using Adobe PDF was a bit frustrating at first. I think I expected to be able to turn the page like a real book. Instead I had to scroll. When I increased the font size that meant scrolling left to right and up and down and my eyes were crossed pretty quickly. When I decreased the font size for two pages to fit my nose got a little too personal with the screen.

My youngest will be six soon and starting first grade, yet when it comes to bedtime, he still wants his “blankie.” My older two never got attached to a particular stuffed animal or blanket. I’m not sure why number three did. That blanket has traveled more miles and suffered more wear and tear than any piece of cotton should have to. The edges are worn and fraying. It’s stained in places. None of that matters to son #3. He finds comfort in his blanket.
As a child I had a Snoopy stuffed animal that I always liked to have on … Read More »

I have a banana stand to keep my bananas bruise free and fresh. I guess they were too fresh because they were peeling off the stand. I had the brilliant idea to bake banana bread. So, after the kids finally went to bed I got started. A friend who had moved away had given me cake flour–at least I thought it was. I looked at the package and read bread flour. Flour is flour, right?
Ha ha. I start mixing the batter, only it’s not batter. It’s really doughy and not blending all that well. Does it need water or … Read More »
