Do you remember when the primary function of a phone was making calls? Not too many decades ago, phones were wired directly into the walls. Now we walk around not only carrying our phones in our pockets, but the internet and multi-feature cameras as well.
I was playing around with the cartoon setting on my phone's camera the other day and this was the result.
This is what my Rosie looks like after having been cartooned. It reminds me of an old paint-by-number picture.

Quote of the Week
Unclear expectations lead to inefficient processes and subpar performance. - Christine Lotze
Much like the making of fine wine, in order to achieve your goal, you need a clear understanding of what you're doing, where you're going and how to get to there. Anything less produces a less gratifying result, be it wine or personal or professional achievement.
Know what is expected, hone your skills and reap the rewards.

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.

The Fluffernutter
This was my lunch the other day. Hopefully the nutrition in the peanut butter offset the empty calories of the marshmallow creme - a gooey layer of carbs and sugar slathered on a slice of white bread.
The Fluffernutter was a phrase coined in 1960 for the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich. Marshmallow Creme (also known as Marshmallow Fluff) was credited to several inventors Emma and Amory Curtis in 1913 and Archibald Query in 1917, both from Massachusetts. During World War I Emma Curtis created a recipe using peanut butter and marshmallow creme on white bread, which she then sold to Durkee-Mower Inc. They changed the name to Marshmallow Fluff, which paved the way for today's Fluffernutter. It soon gained popularity and has been proposed as the official state sandwich of Massachusetts.
The Fluffernutter is still most popular in New England, so what is a Southern gal doing eating one? My Mom was from Maine and she would occasionally make them for lunch as an alternative to the many, many bologna sandwiches I ate.
Now that I've admitted it, who else enjoys a Fluffernutter?

A Moment in Time |
Your past helps build the person you become. How you live the present represents what you have learned, and how you view the future reveals where you are headed. All of these concepts are intertwined into your life at this moment in
time - today.
