For Heavens Sake

Have you ever heard of blog block. I think I have it. Like how annoying.... I just can't write blogs.

I can only imagine what an author goes through when they are blocked and have publishers hounding them. I really want to blog... but I go through random thoughts.. like...
who wants to hear about that... or that is so boring....

What I have to do is keep in mind the whole reason for writing this blog...
1. keeping in touch with my family
2. keeping a running record of my life
3. sharing funny and interesting stories with those who want to read them.

so... I apologize now for an future boring stories... or things that are not very interesting.. ....
I have to move forward and document a few family items...

Early in April, Terry had his birthday during Easter weekend.
Michelle made this most delicious brownies (Terry's favorite dessert) and she topped the pan of brownies with a hard chocolate plaque depicting some of Terry favorite things. Curling, Golf, bowling and the Wii, of course.
Now I thought I had the best brownie recipe in the world.. but this recipe of Michelle's was BY FAR the best brownies I have ever eaten.
Michelle and Stephanie (plus their spouses) gave Terry a pretty cool gift. When dad was still alive, we often talked about getting a meat slicer so that when I cooked roasts, the leftovers could be thinly sliced for sandwiches...
Well, the kids remembered this idea and this was the year. And so far we have had sliced roasted pork and a yummy smoked ham.
What a great idea, and fun little contraption (and just a little scary!)

Baby steps here.. this is my first "catch up" blog... several more to come..

I agree, those brownies were delish and the meat slicer looks like fun...just watch your fingers!

That's a neat gift! I need to taste those brownies. I would have never thought of a brownie cake. Cool
