Bath Time for Lily!

 Good morning,

Lily is in Catherine's bath tub ready for a bath.  Labs do love water!

You can see her left arm is shaved for her IV on New Year's Eve.  Her belly is shaved, too, in preparation for surgery that we are so glad she didn't need to have.  See the post about her close encounter with the surgeon.  

Lily is her old happy self!

Thanks, Catherine, for the image.  It is darling.

Here We Go Again

 

Good morning, 

Snow and more snow.

It's good to be retired so we can stay home.

All the best,

Lois

Fish Pudding ala Kjell

 Good morning,

Kjell made a Norwegian treat, Fish Pudding shown at the bottom of the image above.

I added rice, peas, and tomatoes to round out the meal.

It was very tasty!

Enjoy,

Lois

Erik Checking Snow Fall Depth

 Good morning,

Kjell shot this image of Erik checking the snow depth in our back yard on Monday. 

And, it was still snowing!

Happy Winter!

Catherine's New Year Dinner

 Good morning,

Catherine's New Year dinner was another winner!  She started with cheesy mushroom appetizers.

 Oh, yes, cheesy mashed potatoes....

 ...and a traditional New Year dish, sour kraut and sausage.

I just loved this:  brussel sprouts with bacon.  Fortunately, there were leftovers for two more meals for me!

And, here's my plate.  In addition to the above there is baked cabbage, apple sauce, and cranberry sauce.  

Thank you, Catherine!  You've done it again!

Love you,

Mom and Dad
