Andrea,
We seem to have close to the same weather here in NEPA as you have in NJ… We broke records twice this week for the high 70’s and then yesterday, we dropped for 61 degrees during the night to 35 by mid morning which is actually more like it for March here…I always say that Spring does not come until April here…And the Blizzard of 2017 happened today on March 13th…
My Entries for today’s party are # 9, 10 and 11!!
Thanks so much for the kind words and the feature!! Will be giving you a Shout out like I always do!!

Hello sweet Debbie! Well it sure sounds like you are having the same weather as we are here in North New Jersey! I for one am tiring of it lol!!! If I could have it stay at 50 degrees all year round I would be very happy! March has always been crazy and I guess it always will! I never count April out because we have had a big snow storm happen here on April 9th… so there is still time for more! Thank you so much for sharing all your creativity with us! Have a great St. Patrick’s Day! I am sure Joe will join you in having an Irish Coffee on his favorite cloud! Sending tons of hugs!
Andrea, thanks so much for the link-up! Have a great week ahead, take care.
You are so welcome my friend! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful week!
Hi Andrea! I’m so glad your little Georgia is feeling a bit better. I’ll pray for continued healing in the days ahead! We’re anticipating a record snowfall this weekend – maybe a foot of new snow. Time will tell! As always thanks for the wonderful party and for featuring our Snack Ideas/Part 2 post this week. It’s always an honor to be included in your weekly shoutouts! Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
Hi there Laura!… thank you for the continued prayers and thoughts for my little Georgia… she is laying right next to me now all snug in her quilt…keep those prayers and thoughts coming… they are always welcoe! I know that her little Angel Alie is watching over her all the time! Thank you so much for sharing your life and your experiences with us! I love happy posts and yours always bring a smile to my face! Did you get the foot of snow??? It is time for some sunshine don’t you think! Sending hugs and love your way! Have a great week!
Thank you for featuring my Mudslide Biscotti! I’ll be selling at another mini mart in April, and have become known for my unusual biscotti, so that’s why you’ll be seeing so much much biscotti from me in weeks to come! (in addition to other baked goods that I’ll sell) Weather is a roller coaster in North Texas too, but not as drastic as yours ~ 80s, and then a few days of 50s (nights in 30s), but it’s the darned cold wind that I hate! Surprising all of my dianthus from the summer made it through the winter (on the porch, just a thin fleece blanket wrapped around that pot, and it’s blooming more than it did last summer!). We only had 1 week of “real winter” (where the snow hung around for a week), so it was mind enough for flip flops most of the time! Catch y’all again next week.
Hi there Cindy! How are you! I uderstand why the mini mart wants all of your biscotti cookies! I look forward every week to see what new flavors you have! I love to feature them! This one with the Bailey’s sounds so totally amazing… I can taste it throught the screen with my coffee!!! Thanks for sharing them with all of us! The roller coaster of weather continues!!!! As they say… PICK A SIDE lol!!! I sure hope you have a wonderful week which will be filed with tons of baking I am sure! Thank you for being a part of this little family… we appreciate you! Sending hugs!
Thank you Andrea for the lovely feature!
