MAY 2013 I don't have much memory of that day after it happened - only what I was told. I do remember the part before - I had knee surgery the day before. I woke up that morning, took my pain pills and crutched my way into the kitchen. Had breakfast, watched my kids get ready and my husband get ...

Nuts & Bolts – a Holiday MUST!
Okay... I almost didn't post this because how can I share something that I fear only half of you will be able to get? How have I never known that my beloved Shreddies cereal was ONLY available in Canada, England and New Zealand??? What on earth? I tried to order myself a box and found them on ...
