Pineapple Upside Down Cake

We had dinner with our neighbors, Don and Donna last night.   Miss Donna decided that she would make the beef stew and we were to make the dessert and they would come to our house and share dindin.    We thought this was a fabulous idea!

Mom has made pineapple upside down cake before but never in muffin tins so she thought it might be fun to try it out and of course, we were only too happy to help her out!

 It's brown sugar and butter melted with a pineapple slice and then you pour the batter over.  Mom didn't have any maraschino cherries so she used a walnut half instead.   
They're ready for the oven. 

 And naturally, we got to lick the spoon~

Twenty-five minutes later - out they come and smelling very, very yummy ☺

 It was just the right size and everyone raved!      We tried to talk mom into letting us have one each too but she wasn't buying our story. 

 Just in case anyone would like to see the recipe -click and it will bigify. 

Thank you for sharing dindin with us, guys!  We had a great time!   Please, can we do this again soon?!

Love ya lots♥

Snow Fun

We are having lots of fun playing in the snow!
A chipper lives here, Molly!  I know this for fact! Should we dig him up and announce ourselves?!

You are such a goof, Molly! 

After we came back inside, we helped mom make goulash for dindin.
The goulash is celery and bell peppers and onion and ground beef and mushrooms and a large can of crushed tomatoes.

 Molly and I both got to taste the celery and the bell pepper. 

 Mom serves the goulash over elbow onies.  We can't wait for leftover onies!

So do you like my pretty pink nails?

 So until next time............

Love ya lots♥

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

 Our mom is home and I got hugs after Molly and I did happy dances for about 10 minutes!

 And Molly got a handshake!  haha   Yes, she got hugs too!    Mom says that Molly's nails look like claws and Santa will not be happy about this!

 We got Christmas cards while mom was gone.  Thank you so much Taffy!  You card is beautiful!
And we got a card from our Dragon friend, Dilly, and her Teddy brother, Bob.  You card is just adorable!  Thank you so very much!  We love getting Christmas cards in the mail addressed to us!

 And we got a wonderful card from our friend Blue and she sent our mom a fabulous smelling owl lavender sachet.  Mom says you're supposed to put it in your undie drawer but we're going to hang it on the Christmas tree for the season because it's so festive and it smells so nice!

 And our Airedale rescue calendar for 2014 came!

 This is what mom brought us back from Florida.
It's an ice cream cone ornie  - it's not real!  What a mean trick!

 It does look very pretty on the Christmas tree though, mom!

 

Guess what?  We got snow!  It's not much but it's cold and it's white and it's fun!

Life doesn't get much better than this!

Love ya lots♥

Flowers in December

One of the nicest things about being in Florida in December is seeing so much color!  There are flowers blooming everywhere!
The hibiscus are so beautiful and they all have such huge blooms~

 I can't remember the name of this one. It's right in front of mom's house~

 The Bougainvillea are so colorful~

Tree rat alert!
If Mitch and Molly would have been walking with me, this little guy would have been snagged for sure!   He was very trusting and didn't move too quickly.

 The Sand Hill Cranes are dancing on this beautiful day~

 This horse is being put through his paces~

 Isn't this Santa the best!   He lives at the home of Miss Sue and Colonel, the Schnauzer.  

 This is Colonel. He's high-fiving for a cookie.    Colonel is 11 years old and cute as a button ♥

 Miss Sue puts treats on his nose and Colonel has to wait.   He wasn't waiting too long this particular time ☺

Being with Colonel made me miss my pups even more!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone ♥

Christmas at Gram's

It's looking like Christmas here at Gram's. There are trees and beautiful decorations everywhere!

 Mom and Gram spent the day shopping yesterday.   These were the views that they saw not far from the store fronts.   Pretty hard to take, huh~~

Our mom did get sand in her shoes and it made her day!

Reporting from Florida,
Mitch and Molly's mom, Sue

Leaving on an AirePlane

 Our mom is leaving us - tomorrow!   She's heading south to visit Gram and Gramp for a whole week!

 The lists are prepared and dad's pills are loaded so he won't forget to take them.

 The turkey soup has been made - with parsnips ☺

 Dad's order for chicken cutlets has been filled and they're in the freezer waiting for him to thaw them out as needed.

The cheese bread just came out of the bread machine~

 The freezer is stocked with better stuffs than chicken cutlets!

 Mom will be packing her knitting for something to do while Anderson Cooper is on the TV at Gram's~

Her bags are just about packed and she's almost ready to go.
Dad says that we're going to stay busy at Crumpie's and hit Glenwood and Lenny and Joe's for burgers and fish-n-chips.
We're going to miss our mom and our mom is going to miss us.  It will be Molly's first time with mom away.
 We hope you have a wonderful time with Gram and Gramp and please don't forget to bring something special home with you for us, mom!

We love you ♥
Mitch and Molly
