Whatever

I love flea markets. You just never know what little gem you are going to find. And luckily for me the whole family loves them as well. We happen to have a pretty good one not too far from us in Stormville. It is a mix of old and new and they have a great food court too. My son hunts for baseball cards he needs. My hubby digs for rare records. And my daughter loves the jewels and gems. And, it was because of her, that I got this fabulous necklace and earring set. It was marked $24.00 but the lady gave it to me for $20.00 without me even asking. :) Yay! I plan to wear it on Easter Sunday. :)

Toss the sugar over the ball of dough until coated. Move the ball into the bowl of confectioners sugar, toss ‘em around more. Once sugared, put them on an non-stick (or lined with parchment) cookie sheet. 3.Bake for 6 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges are lightly browned.

For Gwen Merchant, love has always been doled out in little packets—from her father, who lost himself in work after her mother’s death, and from her husband, Peter, who’s always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull, invites himself back into Gwen’s life with a surprising proposition, she suddenly starts questioning everything she’s ever expected from love.

I cannot wait t...
