Most of my aunts and uncles were there, with a few grandkids, and even a few great-grandkids. In all, there were about thirty of us there.

Simple task one might think. Find the 'syrup section' and you have at least a dozen different choices. Then, something caught my eye. Western ... http://www.shanebishop.net/wp/2008/04/23/syrup Well, it's been a couple weeks since I started my new job, and even longer since I wrote my last real blog post.
