Wordle and Clafouti
Here’s to short posts. It’s not like I don’t have a bunch to say, I just don’t have the time (this week) to say it. I’ll explain another time. Taking some much needed relax time, I was visiting some of my favorite blogs. Madge inspired (and educated) me about "Wordles". This crazy process analyzes a blog to find the most used words, and then compiles them in an art form. I had to further educate myself (with the help of Google) with regard to taking a screen shot. I’ve always wondered how people did that. Now I know how.
Here’s my wordle.
You can get your own Wordle here. If you don’t have a blog, you can enter your own random writing and it will create something for you. Very cool. I find it rather interesting that "things" features so prominently. What is up with that? And Laundry? It’s lying all around my house, and there it lies in my wordle too. Obviously "computer" is a high-scorer. Have I blogged about that? It’s been a significant issue this week, but I have not had time to blog about it.
Anyway, that was a fun little venture. Thanks Madge.
Another wonderful escape this evening was inspired by Suzanne. I made her delicious Raspberry Clafouti. Man – is that ever good. It might have been even better had the berries been picked from a farm patch on a lazy, cool evening. But they weren’t. I picked them while on a mad dash through Sams on one of my trips to the big city this week. I’m glad I did though. The Clafouti is delicious (how does one pronounce "clafouti"? – if I write it often enough maybe it will show up on my wordle, along with the word "wordle")
Have a wonderful weekend. A long one at that. We have some new friends coming to town (they’re moving here – brave souls). So we’ll have a fun house-full for lunch tomorrow, along with the customary post-lunch hike walk stroll outing.

I tried the wordle after seeing it on Madge’s site, and for some reason can’t do it. I’ll try again. I would think “thing-y” would be on yours!
You beat me to the the Clafouti! I’m dying to make it, but have had no occasion. Does it travel well? I need a desert for next weekend to take to the church campout. We are not camping, just going up for Sabbath. If it could make the trip, I’ll hunt down (I mean Prince Charming will hunt down) some berries. Sam’s is a good idea.
