Another Time Around Folks...A New Beginning!

I used to do this blog. Then lots of things went wrong in my life. Two sisters were sick and have since died. I was sick and have had one surgery but am recovering from everything that went on in my life. I've had so many people who commented that they loved this blog and missed it immensely. It really made me feel better.

At the time I did the blog, I received very few comments that were positive, but I did receive a few nasty comments from some anonymous sources. I don't know what prompted those nasty comments but they hurt. And then when you get very few postive feedback comments, a writer often feels that something is amiss and feels perhaps taking time to write a silly little old blog just isn't worth it.

My life is settling down again so I thought I might try to salvage this blog and start over. Perhaps some will like that and maybe some will again try to defeat my ego. But this time I'm stronger and the only thing I will say to those who may try .... is screw you. It's my blog and if you don't like it, don't read it.

I can't promise to post everyday, but I will try to get this up and running on an even keel as long as my health allows. Stay with me and be sure to occasionally let me know the positive things you like as well as things you may want me to use as the subject of an article or suggest post topics, etc.

NEW RECIPE:
Rollo and Pretzel Candy Recipe
Buy Lattice type Preztels, Pecan Halves and Rollo Caramel Candy. I always strive for about 25 pieces of each for a start. Place the lattice pretzel on a cookie sheet and place an unwrapped Rollo piece on top of the pretzel. Put in a 300 degree oven for about 2 minutes or until it looks like the Rollo is beginning to melt. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and immediately place a pecan half (or a piece of walnut if otherwise preferred) on top and press down a bit. Cool on the cookie sheet and store in an airtight container. I think these taste better when eaten within a few days.

Gossip
This section is my most favorite section. If you know some gossip, put it as a comment and I will check it out and post in a future post. Any time I post something here I will post it as I heard it and can't indeed verify that it's accurate, but what the heck, that's the glory of gossip isn't it????!! It may be true or it may be just plain old Gossip.

1. Rumor has it that Petersburg IGA has been sold to County Market.
