Some great links. My MIL would be really interested in the fruitcake. I don't eat them, but she makes them and gives me one every year. I think she's hoping I'll break down, but I just can't eat candied fruit.
On another note, there was a program on last year or the year before I think on the discovery channel about families here who use draft horses to log. Much better for everyone, I think.
This week's Romance Theme was a treat! I enjoyed the gallery of wedding gowns. No princesses or celebrities, only normal women on "their" day. Wonderful.
