Local Bird Convention?

I thought maybe it was just one or two, but the loud, consistent bird chirping was never-ending. I looked out the window and saw it. They must have been holding a local bird convention in the tree outside my apartment because I have never seen so many birds in one tree at one time:And this is just a small section of the tree!!

From one commercial to another?!

Since when did the end of campaign commercials mean the beginning of holiday commercials? And by holiday commercials, I mean Christmas commercials...

How you do it:

  2. Pour in 9x9 pan.
  3. Cut each biscuit into four pieces and place on top of mixture.
  4. Bake at 375* 30 minutes.

#43

I pulled into the parking lot at 6:40am and walked into the church with a cute old man who told me he first voted for President Truman. We chatted in line, checked our names off the list to ensure we were in the right spot, and at 7:00 this morning, the voting began. At 7:10 I placed my ballot in the little booth, took my pen, and carefully and completely colored in the little oval for my candidate of choice. By 7:15 I had slid my ballot into the machine, stuck my "I voted" sticker on my shirt, and headed to work.

On this historic election day, I was #43 to vote.
