Too funny!

Dalmations are so special! I think I fell in love with them when I was little and 101 Dalmations came out.

I doubt I’ll ever own another one. Gypsy broke my heart when she died.

Hi Amy :)
How cute! Thank you.

How is Missy doing? I hope she is enjoying school.

We decided not to go to the beach. Our colds are full force, so we played Monopoly.

No Bake Cookies

2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Bring to a rolling boil, boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Add—it helps if you have these already measured out!

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup peanutbutter

Stir well, pour onto greased cookie sheet. Let cool and cut into squares. Enjoy!

I got this from the school cook when I was in 4th grade. They’d put her under the jail now for serving something like this! Kids—and adults—love them and they’re good for you...sort of! LOL

Beautiful balloons Meg!

Happy birthday!

[gardengirl]

tell them about yours, and ask for a nice steak.

I like the way you think! OTOH, the less meat they eat, the more for me! LOL

MamaBear, I've been on the run again today....dr's. appt. and other stuff but I sure didn't want to let the day go by without hoping your day has been a good one in celebrating your birthday.

[MEG33]

Hi Meg, thank you, I dropped in to wish Lori a happy birthday. Seems a dr.s appt. messes up the whole day doesn’t it? I was late getting back and starving. Natually I warmed up some pot roast...yummmmm, I have to say it was so delicious. Bet I can’t get in my jeans after that....LOL!

All the graphics were just lovely today. I always enjoy them so much. Your fall pic. was gorgeous as always.
