Yes, VERY sick of the snow!

I just might happen to have the homemade apple buttah in the pantry. Much to Jess's chagrin, I took to canning last year...

There is also peach buttah... spiced peaches, and strawberry freezer jam.

and I pulled out one of those freezer jams you made last year and gave it to J for breakfast! I told him it was yours from last year.


I live an hour from the parkway in Southern VA. I love this whole region. There are many days, during winter, that I threaten to move to Costa Rica but when the spring starts popping the daffodils and cherry blossoms I fall in love all over again.

I was around WV a few years ago tubing on the New River. That was pretty awesome. I'd like to do that again.

Asheville, North Carolina here- Paphigleo just moved in, and Ive been here about a year and a half. We had apple butter for breakfast last week.
And theres a GREAT lesbian owned cafe downtown called Early Girl where you can get fried green tomatoes, tomatoe gravy, and if you like that sort a thing, even grits. Im um...not quite comfortable with grits just yet, but Pa-fig will happily eat my share i think.

Im ready for the parkway to open! I want the hiking and the camping to begin allready!

I gotta find me a bed and breakfast in your hometown! Momma makes the best fried green 'maters but I haven't had 'em in years...and my "little Gramma" always put butter and brown sugar (lots'a brown sugar) on our gritts. Gritts and a few other southern favorites are comfort foods to me now.

Christie...darlin', would you trade me some homemade apple butter for some big soft sugar cookies? Or homemade pumpkin and/or nanna nut bread? I'd be ever grateful!

The Cherry blossoms are AMAZING!! IMO..the best in the world! Wish they lasted all year 'round. Spring is just breathtaking all along the Blue Ridge... I really miss going to the parkway and Skyline Drive - especially Big Meadows and the Lodge - seeing the deer with their spring babies and a few momma black bears...and I've spent countless hours picking wild blueberries on the Blue Ridge.

Hey Sweet-

If your serious, I know a local member of the butch-femme community that is a travel agent who would be very willing to help you find that Bed and Breakfast. Id be happy to pass her business number to you.

Also, once the boxes get all unpacked and this house has gelled from two homes down to one, the back bedroom will be open for guests. I told Paphig that if we ever get sick of being nurses we should retire, and open up a B&B. Hes an AMAZING cook! Id rather have company than customers though, so Im thinking wed have a lousy business.

You are so sweet and thoughtful!! Thank you! I would LOVE to take you up on your offer... but right now, money is tight and travel plans are on hold (which makes my homesickness worse)... I will keep you in mind, darlin', for when I can treat myself to a trip.
Much TLC to you... hope all goes well with getting settled in. I dread moving!

Just a quick hello and a note to tell you all that we've been plagued in WV by a nasty critter called the "Wesboro Baptist Church Parasite."




They have even threatened to go to county where the mine explosion happened. Not the brightest of parasites, but determined as hell.
