Day 1—2 November 2011 Trying something new My friend Patience Salgado (www.kindnessgirl.com) got me hooked on Pinterest. I don’t know whether to bless or curse her! It appeals to me on so many levels: it’s very visual; there are so many great ideas shared; there are lots of pretty things at which to look; and you can organize and compartmentalize all your fabulous finds. Anyway, manicures are a popular thing to pin; and, I got the idea for this one from a technique I came across. Clearly, I need a whole lot more practice. But, I tried something new. And, despite my less-than-perfect execution, my manicure garnered a bunch of attention. I guess I’ll have to keep practicing. . . .

Two-ingredient pumpkin muffins</b>
This is one of the many tempting recipes I’ve found on Pinterest. It couldn’t be easier to make; so, of course, it’s the first one I tried. Tom really likes them (maybe mostly because he didn’t have to make them; but, hopefully also because they taste good). We both agree that they could use some spice; so, I’ll try that next time. Tempted? Try it for yourself: http://pinterest.com/pin/408561681/ [Another first: This is the first shot taken with my new phone. Given my poor results with J’s camera; I’m super-glad that camera phones have improved so much.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-T6rNmTt/1/6c0cdfba/Ti/2011%2011%2005%20pumpkin%20muffins-Ti.jpg)
