Today my 'Weekly Wonder' is this:


What is so 'wonder-ful' about a bed, you ask?

Please look again.  Closer...closer... 
Please note the bed is made.  Neatly.  The quilt, hand made with love, is straight and even.

This bed was made by my son.  Without being told.  Before lunch.

Are you in as much awe and wonder as I am?

New Day, New Blog Address

Well, I did it.  I went and changed my blog address.

For you that have been following me, can you do me a favor?  (Its not too tough, I promise.)
  1. Would you go to my NEW blog, Randerings, and subscribe to email updates.
  2. Once you have done that, please email me or leave a comment on my last Randerings post and let me know that you have subscribed.
  3. Finally, check out the 'About Me' section on the new blog.  Yes, my blog actually has two pages now. (Are you impressed?)  Just click on the 'About Me' tab on the top left of the page. (This would be a good place to leave your subscription comment, too.)
Thanks for taking time to read what I write.  I really means a lot!  And if you read something you like, please leave a comment on my blog.  Positive feedback is always good!   I would also love it if you would share my blog, too, with any one you think may be interested.

Thanks, again - have a great weekend!

My Weekly Wonder: Bubblin' Bubblin Pies

I baked two beautiful rhubarb pies today.  Now, the fact that I baked two pies is not my 'Weekly Wonder'.  
In fact, I am a pretty good baker which is the better end of the meal to be good at anyhow.  
I mean if your main dish is 'bleh' you can always make up for with a good dessert, right?

Anywhoo, on top of two rhubarb pies, 



I also baked some Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies and a Peaches n Cream Cheesecake this week.

 

Mhmmm, yummy.  Taking them over to a friends house tonight for a fish fry.  
Well, except for the Peaches n Cream Cheesecake.  
What you are seeing there is the last piece and I ate that this afternoon before the kids came home from school.  
(Yeah, sneaky, I know.)

What made me sit back in wonder was what happened after I took my pies out of the oven and set them out to cool. 
They just kept bubbling away - popping and sizzling. 
The combination of the sights and sounds made me giggle like a little kid. 

It looked and sounded something like this:


(Watch on full screen for best enjoyment factor.)

Isn't that just the coolest?!?  Lo-ve it!  It's like Rhubarb Lava Pie.  (tee-hee)

Have a great Labor Day weekend!  

Hope YOU find something to wonder at.
