In Memoriam

Our family hard drive passed away prematurely in June after a short fight with a nasty virus. It served us well until someone downloaded something they shouldn't have. Immunization efforts were insufficient. It was kept alive for a short time in an induced coma while awaiting a transplant. The family wishes to thank those who have been supportive and patient with their lack of communication during its illness. It is survived by our photos, genealogy files, e-mail address lists, Internet bookmarks, and various personal junk files. In lieu of flowers, donations toward medical bills will be appreciated.

Yummy Blonde Brownie Recipe

This is a family recipe that many of my Burton cousins will recognize. I was e-mailing it to Jeff's mom and decided it was worth posting here too.
