I Found My Thrill On Blueberry Hill*

My niece, like my daughter, inherited my baking skills - no brag, just fact ;0

These muffins are not only delicious but they're healthy - made with whole wheat flour!

Mail orders are welcome!

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill where I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered till my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Tho' we're apart you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Tho' we're apart you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

WHY DID THE ROOSTER CROSS THE ROAD?

To get to the other side, of course!

The older I get, the more tolerant I become. Things that used to bother me tend to make me smile these days. In my 20s, I would have been really annoyed to have to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting of all things - a rooster!!

In fact, only last year I called the city to find out if there was an ordinance against roosters (and believe it or not, there isn't). When my new neighbors moved in, they brought their rooster with them. Now, I like roosters, in fact I collect them (not the real ones). HOWEVER, when they're crowing at 4 o'clock in the morning they are NOT cute.

But this little guy just turned my frown upside down. . .don't you love the way he just posed for the camera?

Streudel to You. . .

My daughter is turning out to be such a great cook and an even better baker. If I do say so myself, I think she takes after her mother and I am proud to say that I take after my Daddy - who just happened to be the best chef in the whole wide world :)

My daughter is much more adventurous than I was at her age, and when she said she'd make a nice dessert to go with dinner, I would have settled for a simple batch of tea cakes. . .but no. . .she prepared the flakiest, most delicate, scrumptuous apple streudel with organic Granny Smth Apples. How's that for a chip off the old block?

Monie, you're da bomb. . .

Nothing says "good morning" like a great cuppa joe

I'm soooo excited. I woke up this morning, slowly, since it's Saturday. . .went to my coffeemaker to make a pot of the java that my friend, Analucy, brought me from El Salvador. I wasn't expecting much as I've learned not to get overly excited about new coffees since they always seem to tout themselves as "superior," and end up being rather ordinary.

WELL. . .this coffee is so good that I just finished my second cup! In fact, it's so good that I contacted the number on the box to see where I could find more. As it turns out, the company is called "The Coffee Cup" and while it's not yet being distributed in the US, it is available from an importer in Florida and another one in Tennessee.

What a small world we live in. . .I get coffee all the way back from El Salvador and then end up ordering it from the good ole USA.

It's going to be a great day. . .and oh, the bunny was spotted by my neighbor this morning.

Happy trails,

You're No Bunny 'Til Some Bunny Loves You

We've had a surprise visitor from time to time around our house. . .you never know when this guy might "hop" by. . .I have no idea where he lives or what his name is, but it's quite obvious that he likes our backyard. . .guess this means we need to keep a fresh supply of carrots just in case ;0

What a pleasant surprise to look out and see that some-bunny really does love you!

Spotted On The Nashville Social Scene

Our roving photographer snapped this shot of three of Nashville's most well-known partygoers. . .(I'm told they're friends of Paris Hilton's) at a wedding over the weekend.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend - NOT!

These ladies know that "blood diamonds" are so passe. . .Amber and Myra have opted for a large bauble but decide that the clear variety is not for them ;0

Looking good, girls!! I think you're going to start a new trend.
