first off, happy birthday to my fawnietta bonitta
she is 10 years old today, and for the last almost 5 years (5 years in march 2010) she's lived with us, and added a light to our lives we didn't know we were missing before she came
she has changed so very much in these past years
from a frightened sweet little cat who wouldn't come out of under the furniture and never did anything wrong
to a loving and sassy opinionated amazing cat charging around the house, and playing and jumping up on the bed and DEMANDING attention (and getting it)
and also getting into trouble!
you know an animal is truly at home when she does something like rough house with the others knowing she is going to be told to stop
she is a solid round fluffy little cat, and so active she puts her great grandkittens to shame
if i am up in the middle of the night, my little companion is NOT the boy....or the blue eyed one
but always is my fawnie
she is also vigilant about mouse holes
and every afternoon demands to be picked up and cuddled
I think i like that demands to be picked up and cuddled thing the best........as she was so terrified we didn't force her at all, feeling that she needed to own her own body and come to us when she was ready......and boy did she!
i have all these cookies to do
more then any other year
oh man
i could really use those huge tins from the popcorn to store them in until i get all the cookies done and then assemble the trays
i also could use a commercial kitchen with an 18 foot long island.... or two
(what luxury........an 18 foot long island in the kitchen...! FINALLY enough counter space!)
i brought up three pounds of sweet butter last night to soften,
that is enough i think for the snickerdoodles and the oatmeal cookies
i think when i am done i will have gone through 15 pounds of butter
and about 60 pounds of flour, and who knows how many of sugar etc
them birdies better continue their egg laying cause i am going to need it
i am to buy a grain mill
i was to have bought it already
i can get a fabulous deal on one and i have to find the money somewhere, as i have the grain
and it's on my list!
my list includes the weirdest things
a mattress for our bed
a tree loper
fence post hole digger
grain mill
roof panels for the duck coop
an outcross drake
5 new chickens
yak tracks (for my boots)
canvas drop clothes for curtains
galvanized pipe for curtain rods
steak knives
solar panels
see what i mean?
i really need that grain mill and that mattress
today bernie started the fire so i could stay in bed
wasn't that sweet of him
but i didn't stay there long, i came down to check the fire and make the coffee
he brought home bean pie last night
wow are they ever good
he gets two of them for thanksgiving and two for christmas every year now
they are actually made of navy beans with sugar and spices and eggies
and they are to DIE for
they are the best of pecan pie without pecans.......seriously they taste like pecan pie
i finally get bernie to eat beans? and it's PIE?
huh?
hahahahaha
now before i go for the day
HERE is a link on loneliness
just in time for the holiday season, i found it enlightening and hope you folks will as well
have a wonderful day everyone
you know I must go google Bean Pie now don't you -- and people think my clam pie sounds strange if they don't live here ;)
ReplyDeleteJust saw those Yak Tracks on QVC for an intro price of $19.50 today. Look like they'd be great for your kind of weather!
ReplyDelete"Well, rho, I did look up Bean Pie and it sounds interesting -- kinda like sweet potato pie in texture, maybe? Anyhow, I could get DH to taste it only if he had totally no idea what it was. And then he'd dislike the texture and say it's too sweet. But I really like pecan pie. And cherry pie. He likes apple. We both like key lime. No shortage of options.
ReplyDeleteThe loneliness thing is all over the news. Not surprising findings, though. I wonder how it's been influenced by having on-line friends???? "
