Sister focuses on the finishing touches of the house she designed. The catchy children’s song, Wheels of the Bus, blasts from the Toddler Station on Pandora Radio. Six year old Sookie unveils her masterpiece and I ooh and awe at the sketch. “It’s a daisy house!” I exclaim. “I love the colors. I wonder what the inside looks like.” Without hesitating, Sookie describes each room. “There are five rooms and they are all different colors. One is Mint Chip, another Strawberry. There is a Vanilla room, and a Cookies & Cream room and the last room is Rocky Road. You have to wear a sweater inside because it is very cold.” “A house made of ice cream,” I reply. “It sounds heavenly!” I dug into my Bible readings that morning ...
Hey sweetie, I have really missed you. I love you.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!
ReplyDeleteI do believe I'm supposed to weigh 190 pounds, Mary. I love to cook; and I love to eat what I cook, or what anyone else cooks too.
Thanks for sharing such lusciuos fare!
Hugs,
Kathleen
Mary, I didn't remember that you had a cooking blog. I checked it out though and it looks like you have some good recipes to try.
ReplyDeleteI finally got on the treadmill today so maybe I can indulge a bit.
Hugs to you,
Debbie
Hiii .... glad to see your blog, I am a blogger Indonesia. Welcome stranger!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm such a slacker ... never realized you had another blog, Mary! This looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, I'm checking out your offerings with DH -- he's the chef in our household, while I struggle to boil eggs. :)
