@kokonutbaby1 Hey, I didn't think about pancakes! I could make them this morning for my Abe!

I would have like to see her finish the project instead of chase her teenagers around the kitchen..

[NancyToday]

@sandoo4 Now that would have been nice, an uninterrupted moment! Perhaps I'll do it again someday!

I have the strapfor the bag around my neck, then I hold the camera under my chin. The camera strap is connected to the case so I can't drop the camera into the goos.

Those scissors you use to cut the bark are GREAT !!! Growing boys raiding the kitchen ~ AUGH !!!! LOL !!! A typical NancyToday day !!! I love the 'bell' sound @ 6:04 as you pinch your cheek ~ what timing !! LOL !!!

I've heard of people leaving their mayo out of the fridge in the cupboard and it has never been in the fridge and they eat it all the time and never died.  myself, I couldn't do that- just seeing a spoon of it in the sink a day later gags me- looks like grease and all shiny.... Its a personal choice! Mine stays in the fridge! :-)

We eat Duke's mayo here in NC! But I'm scared to eat it after it's been out long because of the eggs in it. Blueberry pancakes ... mmmmm! Breakfast @ Nancy's place!

Why does the grain of the bark have to match? Is there a structural reason for it?
