One year Mr. T was not only gone on V-day, but gone on our anniversary and he'd spent, all totaled up, four months out of twelve away. It's a horrible, horrible bummer. And no transportation? Even worse. There's only one solution: Blog a lot.Trailheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058762165478635440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-5819574157254428132008-02-12T14:06:00.000-06:002008-02-12T14:06:00.000-06:00I think the European Peasant bread is our favorite...I think the European Peasant bread is our favorite! The flavor is so reminiscent of breads I grew up with in Germany. I'm working my way through the book too and I just hope my exercise routine will keep up with the calories.<BR/><BR/>The puppies look so happy to be sitting outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I think you and I are in for a few more months of winter like weather. I'm longing for the green.Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-9268613890292020622008-02-12T05:15:00.000-06:002008-02-12T05:15:00.000-06:00I loved that film.

Our "boys" are sooo getting cabin fever! They're ready for some warmth and sunshine to play in.

I have two kids at home, so I'm not alone, though. However, I'm going at a stage in my life where I would love to be stuck at home all alone for a while. But it would be nice to at least have the option of a car that works if you do want to go somewhere. I guess the grass is always greener, huh?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-24628096257239891532008-02-11T17:51:00.000-06:002008-02-11T17:51:00.000-06:00Hi Kris,Your roses and your bread look so wonderfu...Hi Kris,<BR/><BR/>Your roses and your bread look so wonderful. It is the perfect weather for us to be baking in!<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for sharing your bread stories! I have heard from some folks in New Zealand who found out about the book through your site. The web is amazing isn't it? People can enjoy your roses from across the world!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Zoƫ FrancoisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-13302443401566109182008-02-11T13:12:00.000-06:002008-02-11T13:12:00.000-06:00I love the rose picture!

We did fly drive and had a wonderful time.<BR/>Your home looks beautiful and in a breathtaking setting. <BR/>Your bread looks really scrummy. I love cooking but have never felt confident about making bread.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300298790008212868.post-70034084012582798972008-02-10T22:13:00.000-06:002008-02-10T22:13:00.000-06:00Oh what a hardship!
