Whew!  Just tied my facebook page, website and blog together - why does something so easy take so long???

Guess I need to get another cup of coffee... what should I drink???  Irish Cream, English Toffee - I know, I think it is a Raspberry Truffle time.   Hope all of you have a great Memorial day!

A morning without coffee is like a day without... guess I can't think of anything worse - can you?
