Calorie Free Donut

 Good morning,

This huge donut is actually a dog toy.  Huge makes it so cute when the pups carry them around.

Catherine picked up three of them so the "kids" won't fight over the same one.  Of course, that is exactly what they will do no matter how many of them we have.  

 We're waiting for a special occasion to pass them out.  

More toys!

Waiting Room Crochet

 Good morning,

A few days ago we took our car in to be serviced and waited for it to be finished.  

Of course, I took along a project to work on while in the very large, clean waiting room at our Ford Dealer.

 We will be making a mini road trip to Missouri soon. We had a longer journey planned to meet with friends, but the Covid situation is keeping all of us on a short leash.  We'll attend a meeting of wood workers and, as promised take along display items.  As soon as the meeting is over we'll return home.

We'll be missing a much anticipated visit with friends near the wood working meeting that will have to wait another year.  Hopefully, the Covid situation will be more under control by then.

Stay safe everyone!

Kjell's Toy Store

 Good morning,

We visited Kjell's Toy Store this week.  

 It's always fun to go there and watch his eyes light up when he sees all the great "toys!"

My Honey's Birthday Celebration - Part Two

 Good morning,

After our lovely dinner at the steak house (see yesterday's post) to celebrate My Honey's birthday, we had cake and present opening at home.

Catherine provided the Graeter's Ice Cream Cake (a Cincinnati Specialty and Extra Special Treat!)

 Since Kjell, the birthday boy himself, has the most muscle, he cut the ice cream cake.  This one is Chocolate Raspberry which is my absolute favorite!

I couldn't stop at just one piece.

Aside:  The mug is not from this event.  My Honey gave it to me some time ago.

Happy Birthday, again, Honey!

Thank you, Catherine, for all you did to make it so very special.

A Very Special Birthday Dinner

 Good morning,

Last week we celebrated a very special birthday for My Honey.

Our sweet daughter, Catherine (left) took Aunt Carol, Kjell, and me to dinner at the steak house at a local casino.  The company, food, and service were all fabulous!

Three of us ordered the onion soup.  Oh, it was marvelous!  But, I could have made this my whole meal.

Two of us ordered the strip steak and salad.  Again, a real winner!

Catherine ordered the seafood pasta which she said was marvelous!

Thank you, Catherine, for a marvelous dinner and to Aunt Carol for joining us!  It was so much fun to be able to go out to eat again.  After dinner we went through this door to donate to those pretty slot machines out there.  

We didn't stay long, though, because ice cream and cake were waiting at home.

Watch this spot for the celebration when we got home....

Happy Birthday, again, Honey.

Love,

Lois

Elsa's New Bathrobe

Good morning, 

Elsa is modeling her new purple bathrobe.  Why, you ask, does a dog need a bathrobe?  Well, she swims quite a lot, she competes in dock diving, and on the ride home, it's nice to have dry dogs.  

The robe is a real winner!  Catherine ordered one to see if we liked it and we do.  Now she has ordered a red one for Erik and a blue one for Wendy, too.  

The robe is quite efficient as well as being quite stylish.  Ah, yes, stylish indeed!
