The Morning After the Snowstorm

Winter came down to our home one night Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, And we, we were children once again. ~Bill Morgan, Jr.

The first significant snowfall is always so beautiful.  It is all the more so when the morning sunshine is glistening over the new whiteness of it all.  Enjoy!

Twix Cheesecakes

I love Twix candy bars and I love cream cheese, so when I found this recipe over on Lindsey’s Gingerbread Bagel blog, I just had to try it.  I wasn’t disappointed!  These cheesecakes make a delightful treat!

The Twix Cheesecakes are simple to create (all the more reason to love this recipe).  The cakes are made with an Oreo cookie crust and a cream cheese filling with chopped Twix candy bars.  Yummy!

Seattle Underground Tour

Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour in Seattle is a guided tour that makes learning history fun, even if Thomas Crapper didn’t invent the flush toilet! It begins inside Doc Maynard’s Public House, a restored 1890s saloon and walks through three different underground sections of historic Pioneer Square. You’ll be regaled with great pioneer storytelling during 90 minutes of walking through history.  The tour ends in Rogues Gallery gift shop.  For more photos click on the Flickr link.
