I have been gone for awhile. I did not realize it had been so long.

Time really can slip away from you if you are not watchful.

Hopfully I will be able to commit to my blog now.

Grandkids are getting bigger and seems I will have a little more time now.

Looking forward to hooking up with some of my blog friends.

Fall is here and my grandson and I have been making Apple Crisp today.

He is a good little helper.

Here is the recipe

2 tablespoons SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup crisp rice cereal
