Porch Lilies in Bloom

 Good morning,

I planted these lilies 14 or 15 years ago.  I have two pots of them on my front porch and they return each year to delight us.   

 I originally bought two 6" pots and planted one lily in each large planter on the sides of my front steps.

 Each year since then I have done no more than add a little enriched potting soil to the top of the pots.  Mother Nature has done the rest by multiplying and coming back to see us each and every Spring.

 Just lovely.

Happy Spring!

Bread Day

 Good morning,

At least three times a week I make fresh bread.  The house smells awesome!

It's the little things that make life special, isn't it....

What do you like to bake that is special for your family? 

Enjoy,

Lois

Plotting Their Next Adventure

 Good morning,

That's (clockwise from left) Elsa, Lily, Teddy, and Tuey plotting their next adventure.  

They certainly do keep us busy with their antics!

Dogs are special, aren't they....

Reuben from Izzy's

 Good morning,

Catherine brought home Reubens from Izzy's and we had a marvelous meal.  Beneath that Reuben sandwich was a delicious potato pancake.

 I first went to Izzy's at their downtown location in the 1960's when Izzy was behind the counter yelling back and forth with the staff and customers.  In addition to fabulous food just eating there was a truly fun experience.

Check out Izzy's web site and if you have time, take a look at their history link. 

 Enjoy,

Winnie the Pooh Tree

 Good morning,

Our house guest, four month old Tuey, has found our Winnie the Pooh tree.

Our pups have dug out a hole under our old oak tree and think it is all kinds of fun to play in there.  

Tuey has definitely made himself at home!

Waffle Cakes - Norwegian Style

 Good morning,

Catherine made a favorite dessert for us:  Norwegian Waffle Cakes with strawberries and whipped cream.

The waffle cakes are made with sour cream and are sooooo delicious!  She also uses a traditional waffle iron that makes heart shaped waffles.

So good!

Thank you, Catherine!

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Tuey on the Deck Chair

 Good morning,

That sweet ball of fur is Tuey, only four months old.  He's visiting us and has moved in quickly to the spots he enjoys most.

 Tuey is on the patio "doggie deck chair" where Lily has assembled her collection of toys, wood, and towels she has stolen from the house.

 Tuey moved right in, didn't he!

More to come....
