Always be yourself

Dessert Disaster

Oops!


So much for that cake.  It did a complete flip as I took it out of the oven.  We got out the broom, the mop and the vacuum cleaner, cleaned  it up and started all over.  That's the apple cake from an old Betty Crocker cookbook.  With caramel frosting, it's bomb.

Something New for Cliff Notes by Julz

I got reckless  and changed to a new template.  It offers choices in how you can view the blog with the pull down ("Classic") to the left.  It doesn't make much sense to me but it is kind of fun.  The background is pretty so I might keep it for a while.  Truth is, I haven't a clue how to get the old version back.  Oh, well!  Happiness is choosing variety, the spice of life.  I heard that on PBS.

The days are short

but they start off with a bang!

Splish splash, I was takin' a bath . . .

Frigid temperatures lately mean birds have no drinking water, so I've been helping them out with water bowls on the deck.  Every morning I swap the frozen for fresh.  Look what those silly birds did with their nice clean drinking water yesterday!
