| my precious puppy turned 2 last Wednesday |
Of course she did, and I kept a VERY close watch of her after she got home, but it scares me. This is the best home, and best pawrents a poodle could have so I worry about losing them, know what I mean?
Mama: oh my baby.... rest assured as long as I am here, you will have a home with me. I was proud of you this week when you were brave and went right up to people I like here. The man even kissed the top of your little head! And we walked next to a doodle, you overcame your fears, while his mama and I talked a bit.
there was a bit of upset when I gave him one of your treats. Have no fear of going without... I will always give you treats.... thank you for sharing with the dog that could become a friend...
I love Alfie so much....
Fine Dining recipe trial this week
I love fruit and we got so much this week.... bananas peaches, cherries, black seedless grapes, a tiny watermelon, and fresh blueberries...
I tried scones again this time using the food processor. Well. The processor didn't mix the dough so DH had to roll up his sleeves and hand mix the butter into smaller bits... I made a glaze out of cream/almond extract, and powdered sugar
they are SO good, and now that we know how to do it all, we'll make these again

our conversation starter this week :
did you go to the beach as a child? did you like to collect shells?
build a sand castle? have a favorite swimsuit or toy?
I grew up in Florida so vacations were often at the beach, with plastic rings to float on the warm gulf water at Clearwater beach.
This was when my family noticed I tanned very fast, I was adopted and my birth father was Italian. I still got drenched in Coppertone, and still love it's fragrance.
As a teen I stayed with my friend's family, or drove myself to find the peace feeling the sun, breezes, and hear the surf ruffle cochina shells and palm trees. I wore bikinis then. I always left with shells.
I fondly remember visiting a work associate friend at her Anna Maria Island house...
"If no beach, did you go to a lake or river?"
as an adult I entered the floating competition on the Hillsborough river, so full of tannins that colored our skin. My sister lived on a lake, and I did try to learn to water ski but that lake had many gators which are a bit scary!
