Tasty Tuesday Blueberry Buckle!

Took down my Christmas tree last night. Now I need something really tasty to get me over my post holiday blues. Hmmm.... let's see now.... This looks like just the ticket!

Donna sent me this one a while back. Maybe blueberries will help to liven up the winter doldrums!

I decided I needed to use up some blueberries. So I'd like to share my Grandmother's recipe. And Maybe I can get some help in the kitchen.

HMM!!! I just noticed. What's that Horse doing in the background? Is he at your House?

Hot Hands

Not feeling the slightest bit like blogging today.

We finished up the Casablanca Authors story yesterday. It was great fun, and I feel sort of let down now that it's over. Right now, it's colder than a witch's tit here in Indiana, and I'm getting the winter blues. I'll give Fugitive one more run-through before I send it off to the lions next week, then I've got to get started on the next one. No rest for the weary.

In the meantime, grab hold of something nice and toasty and keep warm!
