Missing You

Most people like Christmas and being with their families. Well, Steve is not most people and neither am I. We’ll do fine without the Christmas part today, but we would prefer to be together. Here’s a little bit of remedy for the distance between Florida and Texas.
There’s not much I can add to [...]

No Pie in the Sky

I made this pie today: Mystery Pecan Pie
