It sounds good but I think I'd like coffee cake even better. Hope your new year is great and good and happy!

But when I was growing up, we all knew about it. It seemed mysterious and elegant -- not something that ever would appear on our table. I'm off to find a recipe to see what it actually is.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-76797380554077722062018-12-30T17:41:35.660-06:002018-12-30T17:41:35.660-06:00I REALLY want some sort of robo vacuum, but we'...I REALLY want some sort of robo vacuum, but we're pretty sure it wouldn't work very well in our mostly carpet filled house. At least we're too unsure to invest in one - although at this point I might be willing to try.<br /><br />I got my purple glasses because I was tired of having to remember to wear glasses. They're clear up top & progress to computer, then book distance. HOWEVER, I am about tired of wearing glasses.

It worked in parabolas, and got under all the furniture. It had two hitches. It couldn't get back up the quarter inch rise from the living room and kitchen. When enough Cairn terrier hair was tangled in the brushes, it stopped dead. Their customer service had no solution to clearing dog hair. Eventually I gave it to Pat (of Pat and Ann renown), a lost wax engineer who knows everything else, too, to decipher its problem. I'm sure my several hundred dollar investment remains near the bottom of his "to do" pile", but that's more attention than Roomba paid to me.<br />Sunshine is so thick here you might mistake it for Charlotte Rousse. Happy new year, in new glasses.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
