Sometimes Blooie is sorry she called something right.....<sigh>.....you both be safe and here's hoping he gets good news!!
Those baby finches have grown so fast! Wow!!
We had to go to Cody yesterday so planned to grab a bite to eat there. Yeah, didn't work out that way. We got finished with our errands way earlierer than Ken thought, and since he had to come home, change into his uniform, and then drive back to Cody for a meeting, we just opted to just go straight home. There would be a dinner at the meeting for the guys anyway. So I thought, "Katie did such a good job with the chickens while we were gone maybe we should have a fancy, just-us dinner and she can help cook." She jumped on it! I forgot to pick up a lemon, so I borrowed one from Jenny, who said she's send it over with Katie. Well, Katie got here and was carrying a box wrapped in a paper heart chain. On top of the box was a note:
Gramma,
Thank you for inviting me to dinner with you. Inside this box I have a candle, a lemon, and dessert for two.
Love you,
Katie
We had a wonderful time. On the menu were grilled perch, roasted Brussels Sprouts, and a lovely wedge salad with thinly sliced strawberries, walnuts, Blue Cheese crumbles and poppy seed dressing,and of course, the beautiful dessert for two she'd brought over.....a pack of Hostess Cuppycakes. We fancified those by putting them on dessert plates with a tiny shave of ice cream and another strawberry on top. She learned how to prep spouts....she'd never had them before and she just loved them... and while I finished up the fish she set the table!! We had dishes done in no time, and then we just visited. She's such an amazing young lady with a delightful sense of humor and every day with her is a blessing!
The box of love....
Prepping sprouts...
....and then tossing them in the seasoned melted butter just before she popped them in the oven.
Lovely table.
Have I ever said how much I love that little girl??
