Something I desperately wanted   as a kid. I think it held back my decent  baking years  .I learned to bake   finally at  22.Was a long  ,hard road to that point though...could have been avoided ...(pointed  sigh)

Yup, I own gnomes. They brighten up any green patch, but tend to  be    whiners  it seems....

My husband of nearly 20 years was murdered in July 2002 at his work on an Air Force Base. Year 23 arrives this summer. Multiple investigative teams have worked on his case. Not enough  proof to  prosecute  the man whose name I can't know ( for fear of retribution) . Closure is a crap word  and does not exist   in the way people think. I have forged a new life  on the ashes of my old one . Yet, I want justice.Who wouldn't ?
