But I am very picky about how the peanut butter tastes -- so much so that I make my own now. <br />When I'm on my college campus, I often think about the "me" that started independent life there.

Maybe your daughter will go for her National Teacher's Certification. Our daughter almost had a breakdown getting it, but she did it and as she said, it's not for the faint of heart.

Although we do have a vote next week to see if we will increase our water/sewer bill so they can build a new water treatment plant. I usually always vote unless I'm out of town and can't do the early voting. To do absentee here you have to get it notarized and that just takes too long.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026429803158132164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-24669654032101154242013-11-06T09:07:49.432-05:002013-11-06T09:07:49.432-05:00I will have to try the pb frosting.
