About-Face

-

After our moving hiatus, it really felt good to get back to blogging activities. The separation isn’t a bad thing, since it lets me look at my blog with fresh eyes. I don’t hate my landing page design, but the urge for a change has been growing over the last few months. It occurred to me that absence might make the heart grow fonder, but it has only whet my appetite for change.

It’s unlikely that anything will change in the near future and the change will only be cosmetic. I plan to extend the design to my drab Facebook page, which suffers from a lot of neglect. I’ve noticed that many bloggers have very active Facebook pages with hundreds, if not thousands, of friends. I’m envious, but recognize that my own count is a reflection of my limited time investment. Calico invested time on her Facebook header and I love the results. It reflects her interests and no one would be surprised to see a certain 10 year old prominently featured!

If it were just Facebook, I’d probably settle for a template design. My blog is my own design, however, and I want any changes to reflect my own creative efforts. So I’ve started simmering ideas on my brain’s back burner. It sounds like a good project to tackle this fall, when hopefully most of our moving-related projects will be complete.

On Easter morning, we awoke to overflowing baskets. The Bunny knows us well, so our loot included plenty of jelly beans. Not ordinary jelly beans, but Jelly Belly beans. The Jelly Belly history dates back to 1869 when the Goelitz brothers came to the US and started a candy factory. But it was almost one hundred years before they began to produce jelly beans. Ronald Reagan became a fan while he was Governor of California and they traveled with him to the White House. The blueberry Jelly Belly was created so that Reagan could serve red, white and blue jelly beans at his inaugural parties. Jelly Belly also holds the honor of being the first jelly bean in outer space. These quality jelly beans come in a wide variety of flavors. One category, the Harry Potter inspired BeanBoozled, includes Toothpaste, Dog Food, Rotten Egg and Skunk Spray flavored beans. I'm not that adventurous, but there are plenty of other flavors to choose from. If you haven't guessed by now, Grandma&

Yesterday was National Pancake day.  Hope you enjoyed some.  If not, it's never too late.  This versatile food tastes great and costs little to make.  That's reason enough to celebrate in the current economy.   We frequently enjoy them as an evening meal.  My granddaughter calls it "breakfast for supper".  Give it a try.
