Searching one's heritage certainly is interesting. Sometimes I feel as if there's a string connecting us from deep inside to all of those from whom we've descended and into the future to those who will continue after we're gone. I believe, as you do, that we are, in the final analysis, connected to everyone.
Hi Sis!

When I was teaching, I came across many versions of the Cinderella story. I hadn't heard this one. Thanks for sharing it.

Yeah, when I hear some owners bragging about how much they spent on their mixed breed, I just want to cry. They could have found that dog in a shelter.
Good for you. I hope you find your special dog soon. Most of mine have found me rather that me looking for them.

Indeed

Tricky business, but worth investigating.

I can't imagine life without a wet dry shop vac. I can't tell you how many times mine has paid for itself. Someone spills something on the carpet, my new carpet by the way, I run for the wet vac and suck it up before it has time to penetrate. It sucks it right off the carpets surface as if magic. They are also good for cleaning the SUV, or mini van. I sometimes need to scrub up something one of the kids has stuck to the carpet and other times i really need to get in there with some soap and water. I simply use the wet vac to suck up the water. It does so very well leaving the carpet practically dry plus it doesn't get my indoor home carpet cleaner dirty. The shop vac wet vac is so powerful it works better because it gets the moisture up without getting by carpet cleaner out which tends to beat the moisture down into the carpet. Great article Mike thanks for the new tips and uses for wet dry vacs. :)K

I've been seeing more of these dogs lately. They are attractive, though I wondered about them. I've only had dogs that needed a home and whose former owners could no longer care for them. I'm without a dog now. Maybe soon.

My daughter kept insisting she didn't want a case for her Kindle Fire, I wouldn't be without mine. It's like carrying your wallet around without a purse to put it in... Anyway now she's decided she wants one and she loves purple. Eureka! :)K

Whitemoss,

Do you have a tutorial article as to how to make these delicious candies? If so send me the link, I'd love to add it to this article so those finding themselves here could also find a few good candy recipes. :)

Torybri, Me too, I'm glad to find a great flat like Tory Burch in my size and I can't wait for a shoe to go on sale and run the risk of it being out of stock in my size, a ladies 10, and I thought I had big feet. I now think a lot of women are fibbing about their shoe size, why I don't know! When you wear a woman's 10 you must constantly be on the look at for great shoes in your size, when you find them buy them. NO regrets! :)

Well I'll be I did visit Hershey PA years ago when they still made it there, that's a shame, they are going off the list, thanks

Roohi, So true, couldn't say it better myself. :)

Nasturtiums grow wild here on Tenerife and I love eating the leaves and flowers.

I think that is a wonderful tradition, whitemoss. Thanks for stopping by.

You're absolutely right- we always do the same things- starting with the candlelit service in church on Christmas Eve. Our "kids " are in their 30s, but they still like the old routines!
