Life With Jules, and other stuff

So on my Facebook memories came up a picture from 2013 when I made a Cherry Chip cake with Cherry Frosting. I am now craving a cherry chip cake with cherry frosting. The only problem is, I am in Florida and the cherry chip cake mix is in Michigan. At least that's the only place I can find it. At Meijer! So I shared that Facebook memory and my angst today with a subtle hint about sending me a care package. I wonder if she will actually do it, lol! She hasn't actually commented on it yet. Hmmm... So, my boy friend made a pumpkin spice cake a few days ago and used some cherry frosting we happened to have. It was good! I like spice cake.  But, it's just not the same...

In the past week, I have had 2 deaths in my family. This brings the grand total to 3 for the last month. I am through with death! On Easter Sunday, I lost an uncle. He was 75 and it was unexpected.

I decided that starting a new blog wasn't the best idea so I imported all that I had on it to this one. That said, I'm Back! Over the next few weeks, I will be plugging away at cleaning up this blog a little. You know, the typical housekeeping: removing old links (i.e. WIPS 2014), creating new links, making sure it's how I want it to appear. So stay tuned and watch my corner of the blogosphere change and grow! And I'm looking forward to getting back into reading your whimsies and daily happenings. I'm looking forward to getting back into my stitching. And I'm looking forward to sharing more about my journey in the Bible!
