Life Before Pinterest

I pulled out my handy notebook the other day to find a recipe. I thought I'd take out the ones I love, look them up on the Internet, and pin them. Many many years ago I started a notebook to keep all the handy recipes, workouts, makeup and hair tips, and decorating/DIY ideas that came in all my magazines. I spent hours cutting or tearing them out and organizing them with dividers. So now as I come across the recipes I really like, I look them up and Pin them. I know I should really recycle this notebook but I just can't bring myself to do it. Sometimes I have mild hoarder tendencies. I wonder if anyone else out there was OCD enough to keep and organize helpful information from their magazines.

We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
