Scribbles and Photos

A very good friend suggested that I try out 500px.  After 24 hours, and three pictures, I will say one thing -- it is a heck of a lot easier than uploading photos to blogger and the linking out to 500px from here seems to be similarly easy.

Carving Peace ©2015 Nancy Lundebjerg As much as I am enjoying the popularity of the Decontructed #ThickenedLiquidChallenge ,  it's time for another post.  Truth be told this blog very rarely experiences triple digit traffic and so for a post to get there within 5 days and then go on to surpass Lions Eating Dinner is big news in my little corner of the internet.  Obviously I was helped along by the fact that it was in response to a challenge from the creators of GeriPal and tagging on to their effort to increase health professionals' awareness of the pros and cons of prescribing thickened liquid.
