Why can't I exercise Peggy Bundy Style?

March 15, 2010

A Treasure Chest

March 11, 2010

A Treasure Chest. My monkeys have one. I had one when I was growing up. Did you have a treasure chest as a child? Mine held all of those inconsequential tid-bits and do-dads that all children seem to be attracted to. Rocks, feathers, shells, marbles and such that always  seem to wind up in pockets […]

Chocolate Mint Cheesecake

February 26, 2010

Lovely spring days are calling my name. I have daydreams of temperate, late evening, backyard parties, under shady old oak trees with the scent of jasmine perfuming the air.
