Cars as far as the eye can see. I made a dumb move and went shopping out on Randall Road...so did a lot of other people.

We tried to make Grandma Larson's toffee recipe, tonight. It didn't work out too well, because we substituted shortening for some of the oleo but, Charlie *really* wanted some of it, anyway. This photo was taken right after we caught him licking the edge of the pan that the kids were cleaning out.

I worked at the Harrison library today. This is what greeted me when I got there this morning. Tons of returned books. (If you notice the blue cart is also full of books that need to be put away...good thing we have volunteers)

I really wish I was more computer literate. I have transferred videos from my video camera to my computer in the past, but I keep getting this message on my video camera even though everything seems to be plugged in! What a pain!
