Hey there. So tell me, how would you sum up this past week in just five senses? You should list the ways in the comments section below. Here’s mine.
- seeing: lots of numbers and statistics after a very kind and well-read blog featured me this week. Nearly 2,000 hits the first day and another 1,000 the second. I really hope all you new readers will stick around.
- tasting: new pizza. I’ve driven past Angelina’s in Stow daily for about five months. On Wednesday we finally ordered a pie. It was great, though getting out of their parking lot was a bit of a challenge and a test of my always-in-short-supply patience.
- hearing: the lucky ones from Brendan James. You should click through and buy it from iTunes.
- smelling: the amazing aroma of not one, but two, peach buckles baking this week.
- feeling: like I’m “one cool dude, with a kick-ass blog.” That’s a quote from a new follower on twitter this week. Thanks @lish!
MADE BY MIKE TREATS 
Glad you had a great week Mike! Love your blog!
Here goes (as you requested):
*Seeing: Gorgeous sightings of turning foliage and waving meadows here in New England
* Tasting: Fabulous Pumpkin-Mushroom Risotto, something new for me.
* Hearing: Snippits from practically every song on my ipod at a 2 hour music survey thing I got paid $75 bucks to do last night
*Smelling: The wild grapes fermenting on the vine as I walk or jog around my neighborhood…A smell I’ve looked forward to every year I can remember…and how it reminds me of old Smucker’s commercials and my childhood.
*Feeling: Mix of apprehension and excitement at some recent life changes and elation at all the “love-it” blog compliments and funny feedback on “My Motto.”
Margaret, I love your motto too. Have a swell weekend!
I love the fact that I knew and loved you before you were famous 🙂
I’m one of the ones who followed the lure of Mini Deep-dish Pizza (on the menu this coming week!)
seeing: my Dad still on his feet and comfortable after 2 hours of standing, meaning the shots are helping his back
tasting: home-made vanilla ice cream, made with the wonderful spicy vanilla Mom brought back from Mexico for me
hearing: the audiobook version of Midnight Crystal, final book in a paranormal romance trilogy
smelling: Dad’s bbq
feeling: mostly comfortable, with occasional bursts of panic over the state of my finances
Nessa, thanks for stopping by and sharing your five senses. The ice cream sounds amazing.
