I'd registered for it without Gary knowing and was delighted when I opened it. He was befuddled and wanted to take it back (we had similarly opposite reactions about the crock pot, until I made his first pot roast in it). There's something so perfectly homey about waffles. Homemade waffles. Mine is 9 and going strong.bridgmanpotteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552084024770335560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-10285471072861178822009-06-05T05:30:42.224-07:002009-06-05T05:30:42.224-07:00I love this post.

I went to a friend's wedding in the Bay Area more than a decade ago. It was a May wedding...supposed to be beautiful...but it was overcast and windy. You couldn't hear anything the officiant was saying because the ravens cawed loudly as they circled overhead. The candles could not be lit and the altar of flowers blew over. And yet they are still happily married.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779866178920345344noreply@blogger.com
