The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land!
Halloween was a big deal in my house when I was growing up. Each year I had a great costume including one year as Pippi Longstocking (a wire hanger over my head and plaits straight out) and another as a gridiron football player.

I feel like a grown up (it’s only taken 40+ years). Why? Because my Mother, who is a great cook but doesn’t really enjoy cooking, asked ME for baking advice!!!!!! I feel so special. Here’s a picture of us at Christmas 2011. It was so wonderful to have Christmas with my family and [...]
