Just a week ago, I was on the tennis court in a short skirt and tank top; now, I’m making an appointment to have my tires changed to my snow tires. I blinked and the weather changed, and I mean dramatically! Not a simple 5-6 degrees, but below freezing and even a prediction of snow this Saturday. I think mother nature is out for revenge. I once mentioned that I was a little disappointed in my first autumn here because I just expected more of an explosion of color, so now she’s just decided out...

Seriously, a pie crust. Everyone has their favorite recipe, many handed down. In Home Ec, we were taught the basic 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup shortening, salt, water version.

But Saturday, I didn't want to g...
