I happened across a post today that made me well up with emotion, over at that darling Caroline’s site. (If you haven’t met her yet, you really should.

The Day in Review
[Photo courtesy Horizon2035 via Creative Commons license.] About this time of year, us blogger types tend to publish posts looking back over the year 2010 or put forth goals for 2011.

Chocolate Truffles, A Fine Wine, and Melting Butter
Happy day everyone. Tomorrow Jannie Funster will be here on the Front Porch if you’d like to say hello. In the mean time, I thought I’d share this ditty with you. I happened upon a comment yesterday and the last line stuck in my mind like glue. I can’t stop thinking about it so I…
Random Acts of Kick Arse: Update
[logo designed by Melissa at Operation Nice] October was a trip. I mean, really, a wild ride. Sami from Life, Laughs, and Lemmings got a few of us bloggers to join her on a path to try to do something we normally wouldn’t do, something nice each month based on a “theme.” October’s theme was…
