Pet Peeve: Dogs Doing Business Where Not WantedWe've recently moved into a new apartment complex that really is much like a resort. We don't have to maintain the lawn, handle any maintenance problems, or deal with unruly neighbors. We can use the pool without having to clean and maintain it, we can work out in a gym without the added monthly expense, we can play pool without going to a bar, and we can enjoy many sports such as racquetball, tennis, volleyball, and basketball.

Recipe For Peach Dumplings?Does anyone have a recipe for peach dumplings that you make on the stove? Growing up in the deep south, we had a neighbor who made the most awesome peach dumplings on her stove. I don't remember much except that I think she used canned peaches and dropped canned biscuits into the boiling peaches on the stove. I remember her sharing this with us when we were kids and would love to make it for my kids! Thanks! Maureen
