    Charlene, you’ve had a great year! I’m going to try your wicked good pork chops (love chops at my house). I’m so glad you shared it at the porch! Looking forward to seeing your 2012 projects too!

    Love your autumn banner, all your food looks soooooooooo good, and I am drooling. I’ll gonna try that rice hot/cold pack, never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing over at Sunday’s Best. When I clicked on your link I got an error, so I don’t think traffic went your way. I am featuring this on Facebook. Come check it out.

      Thanks for stopping by Cathy — and also for letting me know about the error. I probably should have added photos from my computer instead of linking them from my posts — I’m learning! A lot! Thanks for the facebook feature too!

      Thanks! I think so too — a garage sale find at 50cents makes it even better :-)! It gets used a lot.
