    Excellent! We have Thomas trains too - a wooden set, like the Brio railways, with Thomas railway engines, including Thomas, Percy, Diesel 10, Lady and others. J. had a load of little die-cast engines too, which now live in a basket in the loft.
    Looks as if everyone had a great time!

    That is a GREAT series of pictures! :) Looks like fun! I've always enjoyed the random snow day but here in Oklahoma we've been snowed in for 2 weeks and I'm ready for Spring! :)

    Great shots, and as always, cracking me up. Also, is it really true that they will stop playing with Thomas trains for years at a time? WHAT IS THIS STRANGE PHENOMENON YOU SPEAK OF? Heh.

    We're knee-deep in Thomas (and now Chuggington) trains right now at our house. Glad to know the investment will last a while! :-)

Alphanumeric Blog Hop

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus. Punctuation is very important when communicating on line – we have no sarcasm font or snarky response font – so punctuation helps fill in the gap. At least for me. I use ellipses … all the time. Sometimes they mean “and yes, here is the punch line” or “here is the sarcastic bit”. Usually they just express a general dubiousness about the whole thing, such as in my example, which is in line with their accepted use to suggest faltering or fragmented speech accompanied by confusion, ...

This takes the cake. Or, actually, it eliminates the bread. We all know I am a lazy slacker when it come to cleaning out and/or rotating the food in my house Much to my mom’s intense embarrassment I have shared the results of this particular failing numerous times on this blog The freezer The fridge The pantry The surprise Milanos So no one will be  at all shocked to learn I have done it AGAIN! And I outdid myself rather spectacularly this time. You might recall the 3 year’s expired bag of tater tots in the freezer last year, or the 3 year’s expired bag of pasta from the pantry back in January. Pshaw! 3 years? A mere 3? Amateur effort. Ladies & Gentleman I present my greatest find to date 7 years expired yeast! Go me! I switched over to bulk bag yeast around the time this expired & I keep that in the fridge rather than the baking cupboard like the packaged stuff. This must have fallen behind the baking soda or the Karo syrup or something ...
