A Study in Black and White - Our Wendy

 Good morning,

Wendy looked so pretty lying in the driveway last night that I had to snap a picture.  No, it's not a black and white picture, but she's so white against the black top that it almost looks as if it is.

We were out for last call before bed and the other pups were still wandering around the yard when Wendy decided the cool blacktop would feel good on her tummy.

Our twelve year old is such a pretty girl.  We love our Wendy.

All the best,

Lois

Onion Soup from Scratch ala Kjell

 Good morning,

Kjell spent most of the day in the kitchen making onion soup from scratch.

He started by making the beef broth, then caramelizing onions, and finally baking it in the oven.

It was fantastic!

It is good to have an engineer who cooks in the house!

Thanks, Sweetie!

Love you,

Lois

Birthday Dinner at J. Alexander's

 Good morning,

Last night Erica, Catherine, Kjell and I had a birthday dinner for Catherine at J. Alexander's. 

We each ordered the prime rib, but... 

 ...it was the finale that was was truly amazing!  Catherine asked for four plates so we could all share.

I've been in a food coma all night....

Happy Birthday, again, Catherine!

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Happy Birthdy to Catherine!

 

Good Morning and Happy Birthday to our one and only daughter, Catherine!

Here she is doing what she does so well, preparing food!  You can see she has some help, too.

Happy Birthday, Catherine!  We look forward to going out to dinner tonight so you don't have to cook!

Love you,

Mom and Dad

Sweetest Day Rose

 Good morning,

What a beautiful rose!  The velvet texture is spectacular.

The rose was in a bouquet from My Honey for Sweetest Day.

Thank you, Darlin',

Lois

(And, thanks to My Honey's secret shopper, Catherine, too!)

Egg-cellent Eggs

 Good morning,

Kjell ordered a new egg poacher and it arrived today, so, of course, we had to have poached eggs for dinner.  :) 

 This one is much fancier than my mother's that we didn't use very often any more.

 After the water boiled, it only took five minutes...

...to have very tasty (and happy) poached eggs.

Thanks, Sweetie.  This was fun and very good, too!

Love you,

Lois

Work in Process - Blue and White Afghan Blanket

 Good morning,

This week's Work in Process is a blue and white large afghan blanket.  That's a special blue yarn with highlights that provide a beautiful texture in the finished piece.  These take awhile to complete, but when it is finished, it will be available here.

There are many more blankets in a variety of designs, sizes, and colors in the shop now that are ready to ship.  We have something for every member of the family.  See them all here.

 What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois
