FreeCycle - Local Free Items
The Freecycle Network You should all join your local Freecycle group. It is an awesome thing. You can find stuff on there that you might need for free and give away stuff that you don't need to someone who does need it. Great way to organize your own home. Get rid of items that you don't need and clear out some space.

Going Camping
This is so strange. Cleaning out my shed and found this huge carrier case with wheels leaning up against the wall in the back corner. Pull it out and it is a Bushnell 12 Person Instant Cabin Tent!! Wow!! Not sure where it came from, brand new, But I cannot wait to go camping with this.
Get a couple of Air Mattresses and we are all set. I have all of the camping equipment that anyone could need.
This is going to be so much fun. Can't wait.

Food Storage Recipe - Cinnamon Sugar Pull Aparts
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Open your can of biscuits, I just use the cheap cans of 10 from Savalot, cut each one into fourths, dip each one into some melted margarine, roll them in the Cinnamon Sugar, and drop them into a liberally greased bread loaf pan! Just drop them in anyway. It will bake all up and you put the delicious mess out on a plate and you all just fight over pulling them apart and eating them!!!
So good with a cup of coffee!
