Out of town for a few days. I will have some comments on travel when I return.
Two new mysteries are coming along with me. The only good thing about being en route is the ability to read.
We had French Toast this a.m. and ate a whole loaf of sour dough bread.
3-4 eggs, some milk and cream, 1 scant spoonful of sugar. Dip any kind of bread (within reason) in and fry in butter and canola oil or all butter if you are living on the edge.
Serve with low-salt bacon, maple syrup, apricot syrup and powdered sugar. Drink plenty of medium pulp o.j.
Enjoy.

Cross Pollination of Best Seller Lists
Again this week, Atonement and Ken Follett's book are both on the Trade paperback and the Mass-Market paperback lists. Why haven't I seen this mentioned?
I finished Donald Maass' "Breakout Novel" book, which has so much great advice in it, and I even discovered what kind of book I am going to write. How cool is that?
The last cookie is gone, the decorations are as far as boxes on the living room floor, as are the extra blankets which need to return to the cedar closet. This Christmas business sure is a lot of work, and I am wondering how it did it when I worked 50 hours a week. There was always the suspense of would everything actually get done on time, which is the kind of suspense one can do without. Definitely.
We had fed the Scottish Highland Cattle bags and bags of fruit and vegetable scraps lately. The newest baby comes charging up to the fence with her (his?) mom, Maggie, just like she knows what's going on. Maggie is very relaxed and the calf seems quite independent by now. The weather has warmed up again.
Our guests had a gruelling day yesterday, with a 3 hour delay in Baltimore, and an arrival in Reno in a snowstorm, plus a trip to Gerlach through flooded Fernley. Who takes a trip can tell a tale, and usually it's not about wonderful food and great accommodations, althought this is possible once in a while.
How can it be that the delete key is no longer working? Always and forever more ways than one to skin a cat. Onward, although probably not upward.
