Introducing "Mouse"

My mama and daddy's Little Belle passed away in December. Then mama had surgery and has been recovering and doing much better. But she is lonely for a doggy. So they went to a shelter and got this little boy. The shelter had named him "mouse." That's what mama and daddy are calling him so far. I think they said he's two years old. He has heart worms, but they are going to get the treatment started soon. Hopefully all will go well with that.

Mama said she loves the little boy. Said he is real good and friendly and quiet. Here is mama and The Mouse.

The Mouse!

Today's etsy shop is: Evamini. Look at these cute miniature things for dollhouses.

christmas cakes

Other than picking up the husband at the airport Friday evening (he was in South Carolina all week) and going to church today, I worked all weekend and took a nap or two. I had no pictures loaded on the computer to share, so I found one from last December to show.

These are a couple of the praline cakes that Aunt Sue and I made to give to some friends. We made the little tags, too. Those little cakes are so good....and we will probably make them again next year.


Today etsy shop is: Sarandipity Sweets. I'm so hungry for some sugar right now.
