Another really big favorite of mine is Peppermint. Here is a real simple recipe for those of you who like peppermint.


Candy Cane Cooler

3 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups milk
1 candy cane

In a blender combine ice cream, milk and candy cane.
Process until smooth.


Since I really like peppermint mint, I would use 2 candy canes and maybe add some peppermint extract also.

Ok...so I boxed up my package last night.

And then this morning, I was up early to build an Ark, which I then rowed over to the post office so I could get my package in the mail. It's headed north...possibly by boat.

It's been raining here for 9 straight days. And it absolutely poured overnight last night. We're talking 7 inches in just a few hours. The river down the street from where I live has overflowed it's banks. I discovered this when I tried to get over to the post office...which is normally about a 15 minute trip round-trip. Took me an hour. BUT...I'm safe and my home is not in danger of being washed away...so an hour to get to the post office to mail off something that hopefully will make another person smile ----yeah, not a big deal. But I still want this rain to stop now.
