Sara Musick talks about her search for a home of her own. Musick has moved back in with her parents and is searching for a house of her own now that she is out of college and grad school.
Even though it's a pheasant, I think. Or some other such game foul.

Jet makes sure nobody gets her red bone.
She didn't just grab it. She sat there, with her paw on it, for quite some time.

This is the cake that I made for my younger nephew's 4th birthday, per his request. It is King Boo riding in the Piranha Prowler, from the Wii MarioKart game. He said he "really wanted to challenge me" with his 4th birthday cake. That is a quote.

Mom and Dad, looking adorable, while Dad takes a break from the manual labor at our house.
When this picture was taken, Mom had just returned from a Caribbean cruise with one of her friends. One of *my* friends refers to this photo as "Beauty and the Beast," with Mom all coiffed and Dad in his workman's best.

Jet waits for me to let her out of her car-cage. (She is too rowdy in the car and needs to be confined; otherwise, she would cause me to veer off the road in a dangerous fashion.)

A few nights ago we had an electrical emergency in our house which necessitated a visit from our friendly neighborhood firemen. All was well after much heat-imaging and investigating, as well as a visit from an incredibly knowledgeable electrician.
Of course, we had to reset all our electric appliances, etc. This is what the microwave was blinking when I went to set its clock.

Our apartment was in the basement with the entry door in the center, just beyond the back-end of the car. We had a very small kitchen, a living room, bedroom, and a very small bathroom. We have fond memories of the royal blue kitchen cabinets. It was HOME, and we enjoyed life there until a College Courts apartment became available. We rented the place from Jim Smith, who also ran Jim Smith's Cafe in Stillwater. We lived there in 1954; this photo was taken on a visit to Stillwater in 1982. Alas, the place is now a parking lot for a new apartment house!!

This big room is what sold the place for us. We love bright open space.
We are in the process of buying our very first home! It's the first floor of a renovated yellow Victorian built in 1926. It's in Salem, MA and is truly double the size of our current space. Who wants to come to our first party?
Coming in from playing with the dog in the back yard. I picked some daffodils; Husband drank a beer and threw the frisbee for Jet. I just asked him to hold the flowers. I didn't ask him to pose so foolishly.

He was very impatient and did not want to wait until the ganache had set. But I think it's because he was tired and wanted to go home to bed.

We had an unfortunate mishap with the third layer. No matter; this cake is a little unwieldy (and almost too rich!) with three layers. Two served our fat selves just fine, thank you very much.
