Thinking about donuts

I'm sitting at work and I'm thinking about donuts. That's not a new thing. I love sweets and I have been working on keeping my weight down - so no donuts except on rare occasions.

But I'm not just thinking about donuts - I'm remembering donuts.

When I was a young teen - wow, that's a long time ago - I went on a trip with my mother. Maybe we were taking my sister some place and all I really remember is the drive back home. It was a sunny, warm day. We were in Keyser, West Virginia. And we stopped at the grocery store because Mother needed to do that.

I don't remember the conversation. I don't remember much details, but I do remember the donuts - raised donuts dusted with sugar granules. They were almost crunchy.

It was a good day. And I'm just sitting here at work remembering a good day.

Catching up on the Blogs

Hey gang,

So I took the time on a verrry quiet Friday morning at work to catch up on my blog reading. Chad's ankle is healing. Matty is lusting after Jesse Metcalfe. (who wouldn't????) And he has some thoughtful posts on his girl Heidi and his friends.

Scott has his usual take on things political and biking. And is mourning the loss of a longtime friend - Ranger. Hell - I cried over my fish dying several years ago - I don't know what I'd do with a dog or a cat!!!!

And then I happened upon Mark Swope's quiet little announcement - Swoper's Ramblings: Tying the Knot. And then I finally got all choked up.

Much love to you all!! Great happiness and continued friendship!
