Monday Menu Recap Missing in Action

You may (or may not) have noticed that the Monday Menu Recap posts have faded away. I originally started them to help me realize just exactly what we eat, and to help me plan for food storage needs. Well, Weight Watchers tracking meets the first purpose (and I'm over 7 pounds down, at least prior to the overindulgent weekend!), while the discovery of the Chef Tess website (link under "Blogs I Follow" on right side bar) has given me new ideas for food storage. Also, I've been told that the menu recaps were boring. Well, not in those exact words, but apparently the key to food posts is photos, and I don't really want to hold up dinner for a photo shoot every night.

So, farewell to the Monday Menu recap. I'm not sure yet what topic we will greet instead. This little blog is definitely a work in progress, and I'm open to suggestions.

Thankful thought: Thanks for family, friends, and followers, who are so patient with me.

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer. She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her. "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall. This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
