Friday Finds - A Link Round-up

Sorted Books Project, Blurberati Blog.  This is another one of those cool projects that I wished I thought of first (remember the pictures with the record sleeves?)!  So cool.

And sorry my Friday Finds are a bit late.  But this link is still a Friday Find.  I found it at 10:30 pm Friday night! :)

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for holidays that bring families together.  And I'm thankful for families who get together.  And I'm thankful for family.  Especially cool family, which is all of my family.  Hopefully, I'll have photos to share later.  I'm a lazy photographer...

Way Back When Wednesday

Another ancestor story.  This story is written by my great grandma on my mother's side.  She is remembering her father who happened to be really, really short...

Our parents really tried to teach us right from wrong and they not only tried to teach us, they set the right kind of example for us to follow.  On day Brose and I were helping Dad haul hay out in the field by staying up on the wagon and as he would pitch the hay up on the wagon with a pitch fork, we would tromp it down so it would pack and not fall off the wagon.

We were near the fence line, an Dad had gotten up onto the wagon to shift the hay around a little bit so the wagon would hold more.  One of our neighbors was just over the fence, irrigating.  For some reason he had become angry at Dad because of the water or something and called Dad a bad name.  I remember Dad jumping off that wagon load of hay in one big jump and was over that fence and had grabbed that man and tole him if he didn't want the beating of his life, he had better take that back.

The funny part of it was that Dad was a very short nman and this guy was a prettygood sized fellow but Dad was not afraid of the devil himself if he became insulted or angry.  They guy apologized and cooled off immediately.  So far as I can remember my Dad never was afraid of anything even though he was small.

Willow in a bag

Willow got stuck in a bag this evening and she wouldn't take a picture, so I had to take a video.   Sorry it's so dark.  When you're in our living room it really doesn't look that dark.  I guess it's just not photogenic.

On to the Willow video...

 

And please ignore my obnoxious, talking-to-Willow voice.  I swear!  I don't sound like that in real life!!!

Holy Pie!

My legs and feet are killing me!  I've been standing in the kitchen all day.  Here's what I made

1 pumpkin roll
2 apple pies
1 key lime pie
1 batch of raspberry-chocolate cobbler cupcakes
1 raspberry-chocolate cobbler cake.

And yesterday I made two strawberry whips, a pumpkin pie, and a dud key lime pie (hence another one today)

I think I'm ready for Thanksgiving

Newsworthy Tuesday

Say wha? 

Russian Scholar Predicts Economic Crisis Will Rip America Apart, Fox News.


I couldn't believe someone would actually write up this article!  I don't think it will ever happen.

Premature Rant

So I prematurely ranted yesterday.  Right after I posted my disappointment, I talked to my Dad about APIs.  He knows all about them because he's a software developer and he said that this happens all the time and it does take time to fix code.  And that more than likely blurb will fix it eventually.  The beginning of next year isn't that far out in these sorts of situations.
