I didn't set the timer.  

We kind of look out for each other. THere are 6 of us that live on the back side of the apartment building by the lake and since we are out of the way of most of the rest of the complex, we keep an eye out for the others. My mom is staying with us for a few days while my step dad is in the hospital and I had to tell the neighbors who she was and let them know she'd be going in and out.

thats good! i hope i get neighbors like this when i move out...because whenever one of us needs something we help each other out. im glad that you have neighbors that will look out for you like that! we need people like that these days.

we certainly do! We seem to get very blessed in that area most of the time. There have been a couple of instances where the neighbors were less than desirable. One house we lived in, we never saw the neighbors and if we did happen to be outside at the same time, they didn't speak. It was just strange.

that is strange. we hit a tough spot in life....and everytime we need something they are there for us...my sister had an accident on an atv...and my dad was at work so we didnt have a car...and we had the baby...so we talked to one neighbor and she let us borrow his car then we talked to another neighbor and she watched the baby for the night because it was like 9pm when she went to the hospital...so yeah sometimes its the best to have good neighbors.

This is very sweet of your neighbors! When my kids were little, we lived in campus family housing on the college campus where my husband was a student. Many of us had small children and we took turns babysitting for each other. There were 5 couples that ran around together. Alot of times we would find a couple of single students that needed some extra money. We'd all pitch in $10, give them $50 and order pizza, then they'd keep the 8 kids together at someone's house, allowing us to go out to dinner or a movie as adults! I think it literally saved our marriages through that time.

I will. I hated that they got burned, because they are some of my favorite muffins. Needless to say, the first dozen are gone, and my hubby is already asking if I'm going to make some more muffins of some kind when I get home from school tomorrow. I think I may make Cherry Chip ones.

I guess I need to post the recipe. It's actually really easy, and starts with a simple cake mix! I wish cranberries weren't so expensive because I love to put some of them in with the orange. The taste of cranberry with the citrus is wonderful!

I have many times forgotten to set the timer, but then I smell them cooking and so I can run in and grab them before I make them so burned that they are unedible.
I hate that I burned my muffins though. Man, they would have been so good for breakfast, or tonight after we got in from the hospital from seeing my step dad.
