  45. Roasted marshmallows sound good right about now. I hope you have been able to roast some.

    I accidentally burnt the edges of some tortilla chips in the toaster oven last night. The burnt pieces tasted a little like roasted marshmallows. It will have to do.

  47. I'm loving the dog in the back of Jenn & Ali's photo ... He's all like, "There are strange folk abroad." Daily Lord of the Rings reference: CHECK

    Love Glacier, but don't pet the wolves! They're not nearly as squishy-friendly-cute as they look.
