There is nothing I like more than stories of interspecies friendship. I love the idea that different kinds of read more.. From Bread to CherriesAh, friends, so many things to tell you in order to relate a simple story. I should write at this blog more often. I’ll do my best to be succinct.
In March, I wrote a post at my fitness blog asking which whole wheat bread is best? I picked up one of every loaf from Safeway, read more.. Movie MemeIt’s been a while since I did one of those silly internet games, yes? Well, Frykitty recently posted a movie meme, and I’m going to join in. This list is apparently based on Entertainment Weekly’s 100 classic movies of the past 25 years. I’m going to break from the ongoing list method (”bold everything you’ve read more..
