Caramel Apples

With it being fall, apples are in season. What better way to spend
some time together than with caramel apples? They are a delightful
treat, not too sweet and mostly good for you. There are several ways
to enjoy them.

  • Go to one of the "gourmet" candy places in town together. They
    usually have gourmet caramel apples in a variety a of flavors that
    they will will cut into slices for you. Be bold, be daring, pick a
    flavor have never tried and share it together. These candy stores are
    often in a shopping mall so the apple can be a part of an evening of
    holding hands, window shopping, laughing and trying something new.
  • Pick up a gourmet caramel apple on the way home and surprise your
    sweetie. Take turns sharing and feeding each other.
  • At most grocery stores they have caramel apple kits in the fruit
    department by the apples. These include sheets of caramel and sticks.
    Basically you wrap the apple with the caramel, harpoon it with the
    stick and nuke it for a few seconds. Try buying one each of several
    varieties of apples and have a taste test of which variety makes the
    best treat.

arroyo TV Originally uploaded by reddirtrose . I had a couple of separate thoughts come together today. The first thought was about the number boys that are growing up in homes without fathers. There are so many single mothers either due to divorce, death, fathers abandoning their families and children concieved out of wedlock. Some sources say that as many as 50% of children will spend at least part of their childhood with only one parent.

If that role model is to come from TV, I would be hard pressed to name one that I like. The second thought come from working on getting my book ready for printing. I have been re-reading some my favorite things of what I had posted before. Topics like respect, humor, couresty, faithfulness, undestanding and gratitdue are common. The practice of...

You guessed it, its all over my Valentine's gift to her. In spite of my planning and scheming, Valentine's Day did not go off quite as planned. The story starts three days ago on Sunday. We came home from church to the sound of an alarm blaring through the house. Due to a high water table in the area, we have water alarms on the floor in case water starts to seep into the basement. One of these alarms was squealing for all its worth. The problem is that they are so high pitched, you can't readily tell where its coming from. So we start hunting around the basement trying to find the water. No water in the usual places. Finally, we see the water heater has a small leak. Its 13 years old and probably due to be replaced soon anyway. There go all my big, just-got-my-tax-refund, plans. This year my wife is ...
