Missing her, missing the rose garden & things. It was bad - charred pieces of the home still lay on ground. It look like it had happened a while back though. But what a shock!<br />I think our entire economy has gone "Loonie".<br />Thank you for the pierogi dough recipe. I'd love to make them fresh! I just happen to have some leftover ham. Well see.

When I make them, I like to sautee them with red bell peppers, onions, sugar snap peas and some frozen peas thrown in for good measure. <br /><br />I remember in around 2003, your loonie dropped so low that vacationing in BC was a fairly inexpensive trip. We got a decent amount for our American money.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
