My birthday. A day to celebrate life. I am celebrating my birthday on the blog for the next couple of days. Yippee!
I wanted to share with you something about me... that if you are reading my blog you know... but if not.. know you do... I love butterscotch. I love the taste of it. It is a form of caramel but made with butter and brown sugar. A golden brown delicious treat!
