I don't know about you but I would love to be able to send my blog friends a birthday card, maybe a thinking of you card, a get-well card when they're under the weather, a christmas card...
I'd like to put together a list of names, addresses, birthdates, and/or any other information you would like to share. Do you want to be included on this list? If so, you can e-mail me your information and I'll start putting our list together.
You can e-mail your info to chasins4@yahoo.com. I'll make this list available to anyone who wants a copy, just let me know.

Monday Miscellany
Today is Memorial Day. I had to work on Saturday so we stayed home this holiday weekend. It turned out for the best though because we don't like fighting all of the crowds on major holidays and it seems like we've been gone alot lately too. It was nice to have no plans.
Today is Monday and it was filled with miscellany. It was a blog reading, ebay bidding, house straightening, bill paying, thank you card writing, grill cooking, cupcake baking kinda day! Yep, miscellany with a capital "M"!
Even though I don't cook regularly anymore, I like cookbooks and kitchen gadgets. I picked up this cute thing at Crate & Barrel a few weeks ago. As a matter of fact, I picked up two. Hey, I think I feel a giveaway coming on! I had the second one ear marked for a friend's birthday but a giveaway would be so much more fun don't you think!?!
This is my newest kitchen gadget. I was surprised at how sturdy it is. Can you tell what it is?
And this is what it looked like at the end of the day. I think I may have even figured out my convection cooking dilemma because these things turned out scrumptious...no hard crust tops on these babies!
In case you're wondering, all of my ebay bidding efforts today proved fruitless...no milk glass dessert cups, no Vera Bradley tote bag, no Tiffany goodies of any kind, nothin'...but I'm still holding out hope for my Wilton Armetale cabbage design soup tureen!!

52 Blessings
This day I am thankful, and eternally grateful, for the brave American soldiers, men and women alike, who have sacrificed their lives for the USA, their homeland, and it's citizens.
I am thankful, and blessed, that they have sacrificed their lives and their safety...for mine.

Remember Them in Prayer
Steven Curtis Chapman is a talented christian singer/songwriter whose family was hit with a devastating tragedy last week. Maria, his 5 year old adopted daughter from China was accidently killed. Steven and his wife have 3 older children and 3 young adopted girls from China. This beautiful song was inspired by his little girls. Take a listen to Steven's interview after he sings this song...but be prepared to shed a few tears.
Please keep this family in your prayers.

Any Requests?
I live within walking distance to a public library and approximately 4 times a year this library has a book sale.
Each book sale last for 4 days and I generally go about twice each time they have the sale. Over the years I have found so many great books...fiction, non-fiction, religious, gardening, cooking, educational, children's books. You name it and it's offered.
The books are usually $1.00-$3.00 each (paperbacks maybe less than a buck?) On the last few days of the sale, it's $2.00 a bag. You can take home as many books as you can fit into a bag for $2.00. I go to every book sale offered and get so giddy when I walk into that large room filled with all of the books. Books make me happy.
The next book sale starts June 5th. If you enjoy reading as much as I do or if you are looking for a certain book or books by a particular author, let me know and I'll keep my eye open for you. Any requests out there?
