Guava Cheese Cake Guavas are my most favorite of fruits. I love their taste, of course, but also their fragrance, which I find as enticing as a vase of gardenias – there should be a guava scented air freshener! Fresh guavas are neither easy to find nor very affordable, if you do find…
My Dogs Recently, I realized that I have never shared pictures of any of my dogs, in the column, though there are a few in the That Is All For Now Family Photo Albums. I am not sure why I have not, nor why I have decided to add them now; but I do know…

We continued over the bridge to the display which had caught our eye, when we drove into town. However, we did not tarry and after a few photographs…
