Here are two things that came to mind the past few days that I thought were worth sharing. Heavy Cream: We don't use as much heavy cream as you would think after reading this paragraph. Vince doesn't drink coffee every day but when he does, he puts just a bit of heavy cream in it. When I make ice cream in the Ninja Creami, I use a bit of cream. I almost always use less heavy cream than the ...
Elderberries
The elderberries are getting ripe so quickly. Thursday evening I picked two full grocery sacks full. I cut the stem off just behind where the berries start so a full bag has lots of stem and debris, along with the berries. Once they're frozen, I will take one bag out of the freezer at a time (so they all stay frozen) and, using my hands on the outside of the bag, kinda crunch them like I would be ...
Cooper Update
Cooper did great with his "procedures" yesterday. They pulled two teeth, cleaned his teeth, did the neutering and expressed his anal glands. Poor baby. He kinda made Oscar look like the good dog.. The vet called us 11 and told us Cooper's procedures were complete and he was recovering and everything was fine. We could pick him up after 2. We got there about 2:10 and waited and waited. The ...
Oscar!

I've been thinking how nice it is that Oscar has calmed down. He will be 3 in December. I was concerned that he would miss Cooper today and be sad. Without Cooper here for most of the day, I was looking forward to sitting and ...
Good Thoughts for Cooper Please
Sweet, little Cooper is having "surgery" about now. I hated to do it but I know it's best for him, best for all of us! The vet encouraged us to do it earlier but I wanted to wait until he was a year old. Many recommend waiting til they're 2 years old. Last week, he was so into being a boy that I almost called the vet and moved it up. I will admit I shed a few tears leaving him at the vet this ...
Selling Some of the Stash
I've decided that I'm probably not going to do a lot of quilting in the future and I'm going to start selling the stash. I have a large amount that I'm donating to a local group that makes Quilts of Valor but there's a lot of fabric here. There are several Facebook groups that allow selling fabric. I've joined a couple but decided to offer some of it here if there's any interest. There are ...
