The Parrot is so pretty and in the wild even better. ♥

I love pancakes and like adding blueberries to mine.

I love that you feed the birds. Winter can be tough sometimes and here in western, New York we can get a lot of snow too. Love the Cardinal photos.

I love your floral photos after the rain. Your island certainly seems to have issues with power and repairs. I hope it all works out soon for you.

Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating your life with friends and family, and of course, Larry too! I hope your brother feels better soon and that your fern recovers. Mine

I really like the transparency of the print allowing the newspaper to come through. As always, love it! ♥

Well, when you get some shrimp give the recipe a try using whatever you have on hand. It is just a guideline recipe. You can always substitute. ♥

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. It is very easy to make, if you don't like artichokes you can leave it out. ♥

Wow, this brought back a gazillion memories. I remember it was the same here in New York back in the day. We weren't charged for local calls but anything outside our calling area was charged. International

Huxley is having such a great time in the fresh snow. My Mika is the same way and is always covered in snow berries. lol. Nice coin with the ski jumper. I have two similar from the Canadian Olympics in

Thank you, you are special to us as well. love to you and mom. ♥

Yes I did, it was for your course in baking. ♥

Awe, birthday photos of Larry and his love pats, are so cute. You are such a busy woman with so many jobs to get done. I get tired just thinking about what you are doing. lol

I love beef too, but it just does not seem to have that flavor I remember. I may purchase from a farmer that does grass-fed and finished this next year. I bet you had the best beef in the county. ;-)

No, I used to years ago but now I am so busy that I don't take the time. I do love to draw though and have been feeling to paint again.

I know she did, she is a wonderful friend.

OH MY! That store is a baker's dream, and I can see how one could have sensory overload. It must have been like torture to not be able to purchase all the things you would like to have. Melinda is such

What a great idea and way to remember your visit. It is always nice to see when someone enjoys musing with an art book. ;-)

Thank you very much for the mention @creativecuisine.

Thanks, the steak was so good, now I want another one. ;-)
