Hurricane Sandy may have passed but the storm is just beginning. The situation around New York is not over and is in fact getting worse for many people. If you can't get someone food, water, candles, coats, gloves, bleach, gas, or a place to sleep then donate to the Red Cross. Don't forget that many people in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and parts of Pennsylvania are still hurting and in real need.
And don't forget to vote on Tuesday. I am not just voting for the next four years, I'm thinking about the next forty. I'm voting for the kind of place I want my daughters and son to live in. I don't need a CEO of America, Inc. I'm voting for a president for the people. Find your polling place here.

"...I loved the opportunity to look at Doris on her own and imagine a different life for her. I thought it would be fun to remake the whole town in a way that reflected my own family, and I imagined a Pie Town filled with women."

No blog posts = I've been keeping cozy with this new little guy and his sisters. Happy Holidaze! from Tully and his family.
I spent a lot of time at The Pig while visiting my Grandma, stocking up on Donald Duck orange juice, Moon Pies, Pepsi, and pork sausage. She would perform magic in the frying pan then turn out the best buttermilk biscuits using the leftover sausage grease. Hang in there, Smithville.
