So this iCloud stuff looks pretty cool. Is this $25/year for music piracy amnesty?

I am now officially re-opening my blog for business.
It can't happen soon enough!
Is it January 20th yet?

This blog is demanding work. Keeping up with a twice-yearly posting schedule can take a lot out of a person!
Leslie has started a website called Products Local, which highlights “locally grown and handmade products in the Cumberland Valley.” It is a spiffy site, and I encourage you to check it out.
I have personally enjoyed two items from the vendors on the site. The first are handmade soaps from ChemLyn Soap Works. The olive oil soaps are fantastic, and there are a lot of different types to choose from. Contact information can also be found here. I have been using this soap off and on for the past two years and it is great. Sad when I run out and have to switch to other bar soaps until I replenish my supply.
The other item I really like was something I got as a stocking stuffer this Christmas. It is a tube of lip balm. I know, exciting, right? Specifically, it is from Stoner Apiaries (scroll to the bottom of the page). For some reason this winter has been especially dry, and it works better for me than Blistex or medicated Chap-Stik in keeping my lips from peeling and cracking. And if you are looking for hives to pollinate your crops, they rent those out also. Not sure if they would send over a few bees in a baggie or something to pollinate the pepper plant I have growing at my desk, though. Probably they work on a larger scale.
Anyway, these are two products I 100% recommend. Order early and often!
