This & That~~~~

Here's my little Abby---sad because I have been gone so much the past 10 days! I honestly thought that after the holidays, my business would slow down. Not so much! I had 2 and 3 lunches to deliver each day this past week, along with one breakfast for 50. And then Friday evening I delivered a dinner for 175; on Saturday, I catered the local Chamber of Commerce banquet for 175--complete with service. It was a whirlwind of a week. And this week began with 2 delivered lunches on Monday. However, I was able to take off today & Friday. And the weekend (except for an reception consultation appointment on Sunday). So Abby is happier today--I'm home with her!!


Speaking of the Chamber banquet--we served 5 different desserts--peach, strawberry & blackberry cobbler, Almond Joy cake, and these cute little things I have called "Cake Bites". I thought they turned out really well, and they were very popular--no leftovers there!

Now let me introduce you to my new "grandson"---my son adopted this black lab a couple of weeks ago. Evidently someone had turned him out in Tulsa in a busy intersection. One of my son's co-workers picked him up and kept him for about a week all the while trying to locate owners. The co-worker couldn't keep him because he already has a black lab, so guess whose tender hearted son took him??? He calls him Smokey. Smokey is housebroken, sweet, and doesn't get on furniture! They go for runs together, play fetch and hang out. I think he's pretty cute!


And now---BATMAN!!!! This is one of Hank's Christmas gifts; one of his favorites. He loves Batman, and plays with this each and every day! It's funny with Hank--only Batman things can be played with in the batcave--and only his "Cars" cars can be in the Cars backpack. Everything in it's own place! I'm seeing organization in his future!
So, you can see why I haven't blogged in a bit. I hope to be able to post more frequently after last week! I really miss this site and all my "cyber" friends.
How about that inauguration today!! I thought it was quite inspiring. And didn't the First Lady Obama look regal? She is the hope for glamour returning to fashion!!! Those two darling girls were all smiles. Wonder if they know the impact they are living??
Well, better run for now. Planning to do. Would you believe I had THREE calls for wedding receptions just today!!!! And one for a surprise birthday party. So lots of emails to return.
Happy week America.

You did a great job at the banquet! Those desserts were quite a hit. Smokey was very appreciative of the treats that you got him :)
