She Needs Some Credit

Hey everyone, this is a break from cooking to show some love. I have an amazing cousin who lives up north. A while back she was at our grandparents house, we were messing around on the computer like normal kids do. I went out to the kitchen to get some food for the both of us. When her family gets to where I live it's time for dinner. I came back to the office with two plates of food and she has her blog pulled up on the computer. So, I read through it, and I realized how much she loved sharing things with people. Me, being a total loner, I never had that many people to talk to. I only really had my cousin and she only come down to where I am twice a year. So, basically this whole sappy story is me saying that Teresa, my cousin, is why I have this blog. It's also because I need someone to talk to sometimes, everyone does. I always have what you need but back to the bases, you can find her blog at: teresalovesanimals.blogspot.com
