L1, of course I'm happy that you posted the pie recipe. I copied it to the "recipe" post, and I hope that others will share their favorites there!

Alffe, did you get the snow? I'm envious here where we get the bitter cold but rarely the wonderful white stuff!

I wonder at how grateful I am to learn about the facebook bad stuff from Alffe and Abby. I knew that the Café caused too many problems, and I stopped going there.
I'm sorry that I cannot keep "farming," but I value too much my connection to you here to risk losing it by using an application on facebook!

Abbie and BMW, thank you and "hugs."

Barbo, you say so much with so few words. I love you!

L1, you are so dear. Please keep on "keeping on" here with us. It's worth it, I promise!

from my *heart,
reyn
