Eclairs, anyone?

What is today? It's National Chocolate Eclair Day. Yes, there is such a day. And a sweet one it is.

Have you ever made chocolate eclairs? Hankering to try your hand at the puffy, chocolate confections now? Here's how:

Quite a chore, if you ask me.

Who's up for celebrating National Chocolate Eclair Day with me at Dunkin' Donuts? Cheers to eclairs the easy way! 

GRAND Social No. 160 link party for grandparents

Cheers to celebrating grandparents online, too, via the GRAND Social link party. Thank you for coming! Please share your links and visit (and, ideally, comment on) at least a few of the links of those who shared theirs.

How it works:

• All grandparent bloggers are invited to add a link. You don't have to blog about grandparenting, just be a grandparent who blogs.

• To link up a post, copy the direct URL to the specific post — new or old — that you want to share, not the link to your blog's home page. Then click the blue button below marked "Add your link" and follow the directions.

• Adding a mention such as This post linked to the GRAND Social to your linked posts is appreciated. Or, you can post the GRAND Social button anywhere on your page using the following code:

• The GRAND Social linky accepts posts through Wednesday evening, so please come back to see those added after your first visit.

• If you're not a blogger, you have the pleasure of being a reader. Those sharing a link would be honored to have you visit, read and, if so moved, leave a comment even if just "Hey, stopping by from the GRAND Social." Bloggers who link are encouraged to visit and comment on the links of other bloggers, as well.
