Unless the splurge messes with your blood sugar, but that's a different story. My hypoglycemic children can have sugar as long as they have food with it. D's cookies were made with brown sugar because I think it tastes sweeter with a smaller amount and half whole wheat flour for the extra protein. On one of his birthdays I started to make regular PB cookies for his class. He had make his. He felt if they better for him, then they would better for everyone. There were no complaints.

My weight is slithering up again. I don't know why. My food is good and I walked 4 1/2 miles yesterday - in two outings. One foot is a little sore today so I won't do that again - at least until next year's Crop Walk.

I melted the batting on my quilt last night. I've pressed polyester batting in the past, but I goofed on this one. Oh, well, it's only the outside edge. The Hobbs Poly down does quilt up nicely. Now to decide on a binding. I have never matched my binding to the outside border, but it's a narrow border and contrasting seems like too much, so it may have to be a matching one. Any ideas?

I am losing weight and getting healthier.

Doc started me on a new med to help my heart. Details on my PDA.

I weighed up today but that is not surprising. What goes up will come down.

Missy, that is an awful way to start the day. Have you tried cottage cheese? You can only take small bites cuz there is nothing there to chew! I like it mixed with applesauce.
