Darkness And Rain Doesn't Stop Me!!

        (A Rainy Day Puddle print by ORphotography)

          It's another dark, heavy raining day here in Massachusetts...*shaking my head*...Massachusetts, Massachusetts, Massachusetts!!

       Anyway!!...The good thing about rainy days is that it gives me an opportunity to take an even closer look around at other blogs to see what everybody is up to! :-) And then I get to share it with you!! :-)
       Lately I've been exploring this whole 'blog hop' thing. I haven't joined a lot of them.....Okay, I've only joined one!...*Teehee*  Yes, I have time, but I don't have THAT kinda time!!...:-)) 
     I have been doing a little 'sneak looking' at some of the blogs on some of the 'blog hop' lists though! And I've actually started following some new blogs too!...Food blogs mostly! Ohhhhhh! The food!!!! :-)
       Apples and Twinkees blog...(You already know why I'm following this blog, right?! ^_^)...has a recipe right now for Double Chocolate Pudding!

             Who knew I could make my own?! ^_^ And it's almost as easy as ripping off the lid on one of the store-bought ones! :-))
              Ezra Pound Cake also has a recipe for Morning Glory Muffins!!

             Need I say more?!....Yum!!! They've got grated carrots, shredded coconut, raisins, pineapples, pecans and apple!! The recipe is at the link above....RUN, don't walk your fingers over to the blog to get it!! ^_^ ...If I had the ingredients in the house, and the money to hire a chef to come and make them for me, I'd be having these for breakfast this rainy day in Massachusetts! Along with a hot cup of coffee!! :-) {Nope! Haven't had any for a couple of days or more now...but this morning?!....hmmmmm!} (I guess I 'did' need to say more! ^_^)
      And I can't show you the pictures...you have to go to the blog to see it for yourselves...but another one of the new blogs I'm following now, Sprinkled With Flour, has a recipe for Banoffee Surprise Pie!...Let me just say three things about this recipe that'll make your clicker finger go crazy!....Bananas, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and peanut butter!!...Hello! Are you still here?! O_O
      Oh well, I knew I was taking a chance on losing everybody if I said the ingredients! Ha! Ha!...For those of you still here, Vicki...of the blog 2 Bags Full...has a Giveaway going on right now. It's for this wonderfully colorful bag!...

        And there's flowers on it too! :-) There's also an opportunity for another bag, and another little goodie too! You have to follow the blog link above, over to her blog, to read all about what it is, and to enter! The drawing for them is November 4th!
       You know, a rainy day in Massachusetts has some perks! :-) Including music...

      No, I don't foresee much crocheting going on today. But I do have some studying to finish for my Bible based meeting tonight. And after a little massage, and a nap or two, I might even watch an old movie or something. Who knows...I might even play a game of one man Scrabble!  (I like playing by myself when hubby's not here...honing my 'beat-your-socks-off' skills! LOL)

          Ashley, Aron, and new baby, Hudson...of the blog Hither & Thither...went on a road trip last weekend...

           ...and hubby and I thought that their destination was such a great, great idea, that we decided to go too! So I'll be making some travel plans and fixing an itinerary for the trip today too...We don't know why we never thought about going here for 'Friday Date Night' before!...DUH!!!...I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. :-)
       For those of you who watched the above Bee Gees video. Here's that second song they were talking about at the end. Enjoy!! :-) And have a good rainy or dry Thursday everybody!! :-)

Blogger/Looker

They're blogs of folks I hardly know.
Why do I like looking at them so?

I watch their children laugh and grow,
and every bead and artwork crow.

No, I don't do it for the 'dough'!
On my blog there's no money flow.

I like to scroll and take it slow.
An easy read, and 'Peep and Go'!

Updated blogs, all in a row,
and a new day. What will they show?!

I'm not some kind of stalker though.
I'm just a blogger/looker pro!
