to bowls... of all sorts.
my new loves are these ... handmade by a darling woman named rachel.
each one has it's own shape and size ...
becoming highly collectable (by me and many others) you can find them at red ticking.
you will buy one... and come back for many... more.

guilty pleasure...no bacon please.
ok, time to let another secret out...
i love maple bars.
my mother grew up eating them in her hometown in nebraska.. then we grew up eating them at our home town bakery in colorado ... when i visit, i love to go and buy one. i think they are still 45 cents...
so when a friend talked to me the other day (K)... it made me think... i have not had one in awhile and
thought it sounded so good.
so i went to a bakery (to remain nameless) and purchased one. $1.75.
i was sooo excited... all wrapped in white paper and white bag.
i unwrapped it, took one bite and wow... it was terrible... it tasted like grease. i was so sad. i tossed it.
i also saw they had maple bars with bacon. ick.
now i love my sunday morning breakfast with pancakes and crispy bacon ...
so if the vermont maple syrup mixes with the bacon i love it... but eating a classic maple bar with bacon?
i cannot do it... i am a purist... and will go back home to eat a maple bar...
unless, my friends can tell me where oh where is a really fresh, yummie one to be found?

ok, i must admit i am fascinated with hollywood. i LOVE good movies and with that, comes all of the stuff. i do purchase my magazines for those late nights when my head is spinning... they do lull
me to sleep...

one of my favorite early films of hers was "foul play" with chevy chase...
and of course... private benjamin..
those were the good ol' days... she was so beautiful.
