It is dreary and raining today, as all the LA Marathon runners slug it out on the streets. The finish line is just a few blocks from me.<br /><br />I am getting caught up with blog reading and enjoying a cup of roosbois tea.<br /><br />Anyway, we don't have anything even close to cardinals at the beach in Southern California, so every time you post photos of them it is a HUGE treat for me!!

Yes, I think your thoughts on the weather, Japan and being our own worst critic are very pertinent. (As for the cookies, we just make sure not to have any in the house, sniff. We have no discipline with snacks except to not allow them in the house.)<br /><br />Wishing you a peaceful and fulfilling weekend. <br /><br />GeorgiannaGeorgiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298718026210625558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-90844695548159712802011-03-18T00:49:55.331-04:002011-03-18T00:49:55.331-04:00Hi Kate:

I didn't blog Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. And I love blogging, but I just thought I didn't have much to say.....not that I ever do. For me I think it's the sorrow I feel for the people in Japan. Everything else just doesn't seem important, although I know it is. As far as Famous Amos is concerned, I say "pull the tape...cookies are meant to be eaten and enjoyed." <br />the wanna be country girl - Carolinetwbcountrygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000068905141858247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-39356143792514560872011-03-17T14:51:49.284-04:002011-03-17T14:51:49.284-04:00love that movie...your photos are great...you are ...love that movie...your photos are great...you are your own worse critic...cause we all love stopping in to see what your up too...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-15750559200809654282011-03-17T13:55:20.473-04:002011-03-17T13:55:20.473-04:00Love the pics!
