Not Much, but blueberry muffins

One of my goals this year is to post more frequently on this blog. However, I've realized that there is very little that I wish to share with the online world. I have many thoughts and ideas, but I don't know that I want everything so public.

Notes: We usually use only whole-wheat flour, add extra milk, and always fresh or frozen blueberries. Some of the reviews indicate needing to add eggs or sugar, but we never do.

What he would tell him, if he could, I believe

"Words cannot express the grief that engulfs me. I, his father, can't even ruffle his hair, pinch his downy neck, or clasp his little body. But, I rejoice to see him live, move, laugh. That's what I call a fine day." -adapted from 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'
