Good News...Bad News...And An UpDate

BAD NEWS FIRST

I know you were expecting

Day 5 of the Giveaway today.

I tried to get my act together

yesterday to get everything 

done.....

but...

That will have to wait for 

tomorrow.

What Am I Doing Today?

Here is a little hint!

Yep-Painted with my own

two hands.

Remember this?

It doesn't look like THAT
anymore, honey pie!

No...indeedy....

I can't show you the whole thing

because it is a prop for

something special

that is happening here today.

It is going to be a really sweet day.

But....Well....Ummm....

You'll have to see it later this week.

Now for some 

GOOD NEWS!

Laurie from

In My Dreams I See

says a great big

THANK YOU 

to all of you that prayed

for her husband, Garry.

He sailed through the surgery.

He is doing well

and coming home soon.

She is relieved and tired...

and happy....

and blessed.

She will be back blogging

in the not-too-distant future.

And for another bit of

BAD NEWS

We have a little side deck

off the dining room

with a glass top table

and chairs.

I thought I would spiff it

up a little bit.

uh-huh

Here is what my tablecloth

looked like after 

SOMEONE 

launched an attack on it.

Care to guess WHO did that?

Anyone?  anyone?

And the SAD thing is

I have been 

FEEDING the little devil!

He can go find his own 

nuts and seeds from 

now on!

Wait---Wait--

WAIT!!!

I have 

MORE GOOD NEWS!

How about I add HIM to the 

giveaway?

Wouldn't you love to have

your own pet squirrel?

Otherwise I think we are

gonna be turning up with 

some 

Squirrel Soup 

This an honest-to-goodness

recipe from the internet!

Squirrel Soup Like Gramma

Used To Make:

1 squirrel, cut up flour salt and pepper 2 1/2 tablespoons butter 7 cups boiling water 1 teaspoon thyme 1 cup corn 3 potatoes, cubed 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 3 medium onions, sliced 2 cups canned tomatoes with juice Directions: 1 Roll the squirrel pieces in flour, salt, and pepper. 2 Brown in butter. 3 Add squirrel and all other ingredients, (with the exception of the tomatoes), to the boiling water, cover, and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. 4 Add the tomatoes and continue to simmer another hour.

I think I will skip the soup

and go right to dessert!

BAD NEWS!

The dessert looks like this.

Click on cake to order one for yourself

.Ummmm...

Never mind...

You can have my cake and

eat it, too!

See y'all tomorrow with

the rest of the 

giveaway!
