(IDK about you, but I really miss those big shredded wheat biscuits! My mom used to pour boiling water on them, let the soak for a couple of minutes, pour the water off and mix butter and sugar in the hot cereal, then add milk…AMAZING childhood breakfast memories!)

GUEST POST from Don – Don’t Panic

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! November 30, 2025
Our snow storm started yesterday evening, not sure what time because the blinds were down, but when Maisie went out in the wee hours of this morning we had a few inches. Then I went back to sleep, and woke up to 8-9″ of the fluffy white stuff! It is absolutely gorgeous out there! The …
