When I gave the quick tutorial on an old Girl Scouts craft I used to do, I had only made the treat, but hadn't addressed them.  In the holiday rush, I had nearly forgot to tag them and leave them in our neighbor's mailboxes!

The internet.  You gotta love it.  Sometimes.  Like, for instance, when things like this are created. That front door is having a really bad day.

Last Thursday was supposed to be a jubilant day - the opening day of the 2012 NHL season.  The Flyers were to face the Bruins in a rematch of the Winter Classic.  But that was all put aside for the lockout.  Whatever the reasons for it, whatever your leanings towards a side, one thing is… Continue reading On Someday Man Caves and Missing Hockey
