MY LITTLE MAN


Can you do this?... Bet the majority of you can't.... It's super easy for me..... In fact I like to put my whole hand in my eye when I wake up to get the sleep out. It works. Just try it.



I need a good drink of ... milk... to start my day on the right foot. It sure gives me lots of energy.




See, it's working allready. I'm all puckered up just waiting for someone to stoop down to my level so I can give them free kisses.




Playing is hard work but someone's got to do it.  Brazen is coming down from the windowsill. She not as fast as me anymore.




 I love playing in my own tent. Want to come in?


 What?........... another picture..... Can I play in peace mom?


 Yeah yeah Mom, enough already.......... playing is serious business.


No more  Paparazzi I said............... pleeease...........

I hope that you all have a great rest of the week. Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,  JB

WHAT TO DO ON A LAZY RAINY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

I'm back.....sort of... It's Sunday afternoon and it's raining and I feel lazy. I felt like making something quick to make so I thought, that I would make some Marshmallow Rice Krispy Squares. I had an old bag of marshmallows in the cupboard and I was glad to finally use it.



Only the marshmallows were a bit too old and wouldn't melt in the butter. They just turned a nice caramelized color and puffed up but refused to melt even under prolong low heat. I hate wasting food and I let them cool. They have a nice crispy buttery outer skin and taste even better than roasted marshmallow on a stick. That was the easiest treat I ever made unintentionally.  That's what I did today.

My niece Suzette passed away on Thursday of a brain tumour. She collapsed on Sunday and was taken to the hospital and she died on Thursday. She was 50 years old. Please say a prayer for strength and courage for her husband and son and family. God bless.  JB
