Some one is getting ready for Halloween!
 Here's Mr. Rufus is in his hot dog costume!
 He just can't wait for those trick or kitty treats!

So sweet, right? My mom and dad went to the Little House on the Prairie in Peppin, Wisconsin. They said they had lots of fun and really enjoyed their road trip. Good thing half-pint ( Laura Ingalls-Wilder) wasn't around to sick her first dog on them, "Jack". Can you imagine a whole family lived in this house? As Laura wrote she remembers her days fondley in the big woods of Wisconsin.

If a tree falls and no one is around, does it make a sound?

See this big tree? This last Friday (6-29-12) we had to have a professional tree service come over and take down this grand old tree. Wendy and I were so sad, because it provided so much shade and beauty to the property. Unfortunately it was a bit too close to the house and one year ago two large branches came down and smashed up our gutters and one of our vehicles during a storm. At least we both got to say good bye.

Here's the only guy for me!

Seven Layer Bars...Yummy

I am making Seven Layer Bars tonight. Here is what the recipe looks like before it goes into the oven. If you need a reminder of the recipe, well here it is:

1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups finely crushed Graham crackers
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/3 cups flaked and sweetened coconut
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

Melt butter; stir into cracker crumbs. Press into a 13x9x2 un-greased pan.
Layer all chips, then coconut flakes, then walnut pieces. Finally top evenly with the sweetened condensed milk and pop into a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Cool, cut and enjoy! Makes about 30 bars or two really really big ones, haha just kidding!

Mama kitty's crows nest.

Our oldest cat we lovingly named Mama kitty has a new favorite napping spot. It's on the flannel kitty bed on top of the refrigerator.
She certainly is the queen of this house!
