Catching up

I am writing to all my blogger groups. Just an catch up notie

We are doing well.  WE have a new pup. His name is Rascal and he is 7 ninths old now. We got him near the end of September so I may have written about him, before.

We have Daffodils  out in the yard, I thought they were Surprise Lilies since they didn't bloom the first year  we moved into the house, and they didn't bloom last year, either. They bloomed this year and are lovely . a nice bight spot of Yellow out in the yard, and a couple of days later, the Dandelions  started to bloom, as well. Even though we have had a few grey days, it is warm enough to keep the door open for a little bit each afternoon.

Rocky, our oldest day, is 15 and we can tell he is feeling his ager, now. He sleeps most of the time and it can be a struggle on these rainy days for him to get up, to go outside. We re constantly on Rascal to "Leave Rocky Alone" as he tries so hard to get Rocky to play with him. Barney, who is 10, has slowed down a little but at least he can play with Rascal with a tow rope or chase the ball into the kitchen just tad faster than Rascal can, to get it first. 

Jerry does most of the cooking during the week, snice he retired just over a year ago. I asked him to do that, because otherwise he would sit in his chair all day while I was doing housework. He is retired, not ill and needed reasons to get up out of that chair. He does cook well, but the baking is still in my court.

Whipped topping from dry milk

Whipped Topping
You never know when a crepe craving will strike, so it pays to be prepared! ;-) You can use shelf-stable powdered milk to make whipped topping in a pinch.
Add equal parts ice-cold water and powdered milk to the bowl of your stand mixer. Whip the mixture until it's nice and fluffy. Then add a little sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the mixture has thickened. Use it to dress up crepes, waffles, pie, and pretty much anything else!
