Peanut Butter

Yesterday, I was busy making dinner and Elli was getting in the way, we have a VERY small kitchen, so I decided to give her some celery and peanut butter. She finished it all, and LOVED it, but was a bit messy! At least she enjoyed it!

A great friend...

Once in a while a great friend comes along in life. I have a great friend, a best friend, a once in a lifetime friend in my friend Mara! Today I got to have a lovely chat with this great friend, and even though we are a long ways apart, it's like no time has passed since we last talked, and we can share our innermost thoughts, and there are no judgements passed, just respect for the other person and what they are going through. So, a blog post, to my once in a lifetime friend Mara! You're the best!

Zoo lights...

Unfortunately I can not get my zoo lights pictures uploaded to my computer, so that will have to wait for another time....
