Memorial Day Thursday #534

[Karen]

Karen, if you put raspberries in the blueberry cake do you add a little extra sugar or no?

No, so the cake doesn't get too sweet, and folks seem to like it that way!

[RICHARD]

Aw Pom,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

I do think it's wonderful that your brother will be remembered and honored.

Sending you good thoughts and wishes.

I am going to heat up some water for a cup of coffee.....yea, I know....Coffee? I got the flu earlier in the week and I'm still queasy.

DONE?

And to add to the Memorial day festivities, Madame Mayor gets to meet her canine niece!

[Karen]

Am soo looking forward to it!

What are other family's Memorial Day traditions? We're getting together to decorate the graves of the family, 4 generations worth.

And to add to the Memorial day festivities, Madame Mayor gets to meet her canine niece!

We probably need some photos of that!

A toast in gratitude to all our heroes, living and dead!

[Karen]

We probably need some photos of that!

I will see if any of the photos I took of Angel are good enough to post, she was way too busy sniffing every inch of "Grandpa's" home, pulling every dog toy individually from his basket of them, and playing tug to hold still much for pictures! None were taken of me WITH Angel, though! When we were close enough together, she was busy cleaning my ear, snuffling my face, and generally having a good time to pose - and no one else had a camera out! Part of my collection of socks with holes in them have been knotted and tied together to make another tug toy, which was an immediate hit - socks iz stretchy!!! - and much play ensued!

Birthday cake all around - not only is today Sandra tatsxxx11's birthday here on Pet Talk, it's also my big brother's birthday, and my dear friend Sarah's birthday, too!

[Queen of Poop]

Happy Birthday to all! I've brought some ice cream to go with the cake!

Well, as you have seen, EVERYTHING Angel does is with 100% effort and enthusiasm. (Including begging for food at the table, none of this mooshy cute soft sad dog eyes stuff for her, she sits very politely and stares with an intensity that's funny, you WILL give me food NOW!)

She is an absolutely intense animal, no hyperbole intended.

[RICHARD]

Birthday cake and drinks!

When ever I hear about a birthday cake, it always makes me think of the red punch that people would serve with it!

Servings all around!

Done.
