Jack O Lantern Anyone?

So here's my girl, with the funniest grin ever! My question is - How is she going to eat her favorite summertime food, Utah Corn on the Cob?

Strawberry Jam

Now is the time to be picking up flats of strawberries for killer deals and making strawberry freezer jam. Strawberries are in season!!! Spring is on it's way! Sounds hard and time consuming? Not at all! You can find great freezer jam recipes in with the pectin packets! It's so worth it and easy to do! My kids love strawberry jam on anything from ice cream to pancakes, and of course sandwiches! Your local grocer should carry all that you need strawberries, pectin, lemon juice and cute little Tupperware freezer containers! Have fun and enjoy!

Gone to the Dogs

You know, I find our news reports and reporters getting stupider every day. Take for instance this morning on several web sites part of the news is that Martha Stewart's puppy dies in a propane blast. Ok, you all know me, I love animals and get upset when an animal that is close to me dies. But I don't go calling the AP and have the news pasted all over the world. Why is it that a celebrities pet qualifies as news? Did that animal do something good? Bad? Amazing? Something news worthy? All that pet ever was was a private companion and a source of enjoyment of the owner. Not that that isn't nice, it's just not considered news worthy. Why not report something good to uplift souls instead of a death of some one's pet? Give the world something positive to think about instead of wasting space by reporting the latest celebrity mishap or whoops. Who really cares about whose dog died and who flashed their crotch to the world. Take back our news and request to be informed on important facts not trivial matters! Ask for something positive and uplifting. I know there's not much out there positive, but once you start looking it might amaze everyone.
