I’ve been thinking about getting a butter crock for a while now. And since I’ve recently developed a hankering for herb butter, and had some honey butter at a restaurant recently, I want one even more. So I’ve been checking them out and will probably get one soon. So this is a placeholder for some links about the topic.

PhotoFriday’s photo challenge this week is Wholesome. Is there anything more wholesome than an adorable kid playing on the playground? This is my nephew Patrick, who lives in Oak Park, IL, with his dad, my brother Brad, his mom Barbara, and his sister Katharine. Dan and I just spent the weekend with them and I have dozens of pix of the kids, as well as downtown Chicago. I love this one.
