Friend For The Ride

My mom finally started a blog! Her niche is women’s issues, specifically menopause. The blog is part memoir, part humor, part idea exchange for women both young and old. Today’s topic: Cravings! Hope you’ll check it out : )

Mom has a blog. Sister has a blog. Dad……?

Rain is coming down…again. But the forecast looks good. Tomorrow I’m going to visit my grandmother and mother in Maryland, so I’m hoping for sunny skies soon!

    Yay for family with blogs! Both my sisters have had blogs in the past. One of them actually still keeps one. 🙂

    Pumpkin is most definitely NOT old news here! They’re just barely showing up, but they’re coming with a vengeance! I also just discovered that Lubbock (the closest large town/city to my town) is absolutely OBSESSED with all things Halloween! I’m a very lucky gal. 😉

    That’s so neat about your mom starting a blog. She has the same layout and background that I use. I look forward to reading what she has to say. And to answer your question, no pumpkin oats is not old yet. It NEVER gets old. I could eat it every morning. By the way, do you cook your wheatberries before adding them in or are they totally raw. I would think you would need to cook them, right?
