Ketch-up Day

 

 

Greetings Blogger Buds. Did you catch any of the storm?As you can see, we got some snow and ice, but were very, very lucky.

To our friends in California, you are constantly in our thoughts.


 I stewed some apples in the crock pot the other day. Not too bad and easy peasy--which is always a prerequisite for me 😀 Just toss in some sliced apples, butter, sugar and cinnamon and let them stew. Pecans optional.


 

I was very pleased to get this painting from my daughter for Christmas:) Her eye for detail always amazes me.

AND 

Some critter pics.

Frank still re-cooping from the holidays.


Where's Nori....


Remember this little girl? A rescue in Virginia took her and she has a new home. I'm so pleased.


AND

From Colorado

Thanks, July



AND

Last but not least

A couple of Belated Happy Birthday Shout-outs.

Love the critters. If your daughter's painting is the photo before Frank her work is amazing.
Happy birthday to my fellow Capricorns including you.

Hi Sandra - yes - we have snow lying on the Downs when I went out yesterday ... nothing here on the coast. Capricorns ... a good sign - thanks for the birthday and blogging anniversary wishes. Your daughter is one talented artist ... but good to see the critters at home. Happy week ahead - cheers Hilary

I don't have a crock pot but boy, I wish I'd bought some apples and I'd do them in the skillet. They look great!

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Hils, Glad the coast is snow free. Hope your Birthday was as special as you. And think you for the kind words about my daughter:) Cheers,

Your daughter's painting is beautiful. I never thought of putting apples in the crock pot like that. How good they'll be warm.

Love,
