I went up to Girly Girls house to borrow some pine nuts for my Spinach and Basil Pesto Farfalle recipe and noticed another neighbors trash was overflowing in to the street. Our neighbor had these 3 fake Cinderella pumpkins sitting alongside her trash can waiting for Mr. Garbage Guy to pick them up. Oh I don’t think Read More >>

Yesterday I took little Miss Lucy to one of her favorite places. The veterinary clinic. She loves going there. She doesn’t even mind that they give her shots because she always makes a new friend and her veterinarian is really nice. The last time we were there she got a rabies shot.
