In the morning: A couple of Claussen pickles
You have got me wanting to try these but my store didn't have them! So, I had to settle for Vlassic.
Try looking in the refrigerated section, next to the sandwich meats. Their big thing is that they're never heated, always refrigerated.
There's another home somewhere,
There's another glimpse of sky...
There's another way to lean
into the wind, unafraid.
There's another life out there...

Thank you! I was very underwhelmed by the ones I bought.

Wow... <3 That is spectacular.
I really am taking all my self control not to plop down all my galleons and demand several.
Dude. You could make it in about 3 seconds with some spray paint and a sharpie.

Seriously. If I didn't think I'd try to up the awesome on those, I'd do it for you.

I want one really bad, and have half the mind to make one... I just don't think I could write like that... And, they won't fit my light switches : (

I couldn't do a thing about the size but how important is it to you that it look just like that? If you really, really wanted it, maybe when I'm up there we can take a craft break and I can try to help. I'm decent with mimicking things, fonts included.

I hadn't really thought about colors, but Mr. Dear and I had talked about getting one just for the bedroom, and maybe seeing if she could make some double ones.

Craft break sounds awesome! I have those weird fat light switches. Although, I have no clue what kinda i'll have when I eventually move... Man, I hate not knowing! : (

Carl Sagan.
What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
Forever and always.

I love harvest time ! The smell in the mornings, the quick changes to the fields, and I like watching the bulk tank on my combine fill up fast when I'm cutting a good patch of wheat. Sometimes I think about how far in the world my wheat will travel before it gets eaten and by whom. Maybe I should cut down on the java. :roll:

As if you had anything better to do. The local farmers tell me modern state-of-the-art tractors practically drive themselves. Though, having never been in one myself I have no idea if they're pulling my leg or not. :P

I actually prefer with some pulp -- I'm one of the few people I know -- but these days I'm drinking OJ supplemented with calcium, and that usually comes without.
