<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When deciding how to organize all of the signs I've seen and captured with my Iphone along my way, in my urgency to gather and organize them, I hastily created a file. But, today, my Cat Tigger, as he often does, came along, as I replied to a comment on my first post, and walked across my keyboard, bringing up my photos. He did not bring up my file of signs, but rather, My complete file of over a thousand some Iphone Photos. As I believe in both Synchronicity and Serendipity, and their relationship to one another, and to in fact, my life, I make the decision to use, for this, my first official post, One of the first photos I see in the lineup.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> It's a sign I saw in my own home, on my kitchen window sill, in one of my favorite rooms in my house, where lots of time is spent with my family. It's one of the places I regularly follow my bliss, serving up recipes old and new, replacing required ingredients with ones on hand, and making multiple versions of my own signature barbeque sauce which I began creating when I was in college.</span></div>
