Afternoon with Raven

I spent the afternoon with Raven baking. She made the pies.... sweet potato, pecan and peanut butter. Then she made Florence's pecan fingers and white chocolate covered pretzels. I supervised and did the cleaning up afterwards. She then did some decorating and even found time to play the Wii with her Papo. We had a very enjoyable day. Here are two pictures of her with the pecan fingers. She will be celebrating her 13th birthday on December 26.




Wishing you All a Very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
Have fun and Be safe.

Picked Peaches Today

Raven and I went to pick peaches this morning. They look ripe, but they are still pretty firm and not quite ready for a pie or cobbler, so Raven and I made pancakes with peaches in them. I cooked up some peaches to put over the top with cool whip. yum yum! These peaches were huge! It will probably only take one huge one for a blender of peach dacari. lol Next month Raven and I will go pick apples. The Honey crisp are the sweetest and the ones we pick. Here is where we go http://www.eckerts.com/

Here is my granddaughter Raven......

fleece...Oh, so warm..... fleece

My gd Raven decided she needed a fleece blanket. She wasn't crazy about fleece and prefers her "cool" memee that she made a few years back, but she said it is kinda cold in their house and a nice fleece blanket would help her go to sleep. The light blue backing brings out the blue that is in the top fleece. Notice Austie who just happened to get into the picture.
Raven made two blankets for herself , but she favors this one that she made first. I've repaired it a number of times for her.

Of course I had to make Kahlu his own fleece blanket. He loves laying on ours, so what the heck....I found this wonderful wild animal print that I thought was just perfect and quess what? Kahlu wouldn't lay on it. I think he was afraid of it. After taking a picture of the blanket up close......I can see why he might have been afraid of it. As you can see, he finally claimed it as his. Ah, so warm. Isn't Kahlu a cutie? He is Lhasa Apso and Poodle. He is such a sweetie.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
