Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
I made the vinegar gummies and Jell-o Jigglers and layered the two. The first time I did this, they did not stick together. The second time I did it, I let the vinegar gummies congeal first then I poured the lemon/lime Jell-o over it while it was still warm...
Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
These are good. I also made some Jigglers by the recipe on the Strawberry Jell-o box. I cut the recipe in half. The vinegar gummies are good but when I put the two together, they are scrumptious. Thanks for the recipe.
House Sparrow Eggs
When I first saw this picture, it looked like a pretty calico cat, on the right of the nest, looking at the nest. Then when I enlarged the picture, I see that it is a dead leaf. Funny how my eyes can play tricks on me. It will be interesting to watch especially...

I had to go to the emergency room last Saturday with my finger. They took my blood pressure and it was 232/104. It usually runs 120-140 over 60-65. I guess I was stressed out as to what was wrong with my finger. The doctor numbed it and lanced the swollen area...
