OMG how funny and cute is Ollie and Devil Moving Hamster? So glad I could be there in Culinary Spirit. That ham sounds very yummy.

Merry Christmas! The video is hilarious! And your house looks so lovely and cozy.

Thanks ThreeC. It was a rainy day here yesterday. Perfect for being cozy indoors with the family.
What a great day! Love the video of Ollie and the remote critter. I am lusting after your beautiful hardwood floors!
ReplyDeleteWhoooHOoo, now the blog is going to be named Canning under the Florida Sun. Hey that Sweet Ricotta cake looks good, what's in it? Blueberries?
ReplyDeleteSham, they're mini chocolate chips. Yuuuuummy!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a great day.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture is perfect - it captures the feel of a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteLove the photo of your daughter on the floor playing!! The hamster chase was darn cute too!!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, putting the hardwood floors in was one of the best things we ever did! So much easier taking care of wood than carpet.
ReplyDeleteScMomma, my bones ache just thinking about laying on a hardwood floor. lol.
MS, Happy New Year to you too! :)
Lisa, we usually get the critters a little something every year for Christmas. This year I told Kitty I was putting a ribbon around her insulin bottle. $120 a pop for that stuff. *Ouch*
K9, I've missed you dog. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. :)
Darla, Happy Birthday to you!!
That dog is too damn cute.
ReplyDeleteAwww...great photos. Ollie is a goofball! I can't believe that thing wasn't in his mouth though!
ReplyDeleteI had to come back and watch the Poodle Dance.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Dani.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is one seriously cute pooch. I loved the video.
Ok, I've been by at least three times and have not commented yet. Don't know why but here we go:
ReplyDelete1. Your daughter is sooooo adorable with Ollie a very close second. He looks like a cartoon character, that vid cracked me up!
2. Ricotta cake: Oh yeah!!! I imagine with a bit of orange and not too sweet?
3. The glass next to your door reminds me of our house in Michigan in the 70's. Was your house built then or in the 60's? Or is that new? I like the light/colours coming through.
Happy New Years, sweetpea! All the best to you and yours for a happy, healthy and fertile (your garden!) New Year!
Miz S, he is!
ReplyDeleteKate, if I would have kept filming, you would have seen him nab the little devil and take off with it.
Shamy, we keep watching it too. Ollie is one dancin' poodle for sure.
Boxer, Happy New Year to you too. May this one be a great one for you.
Diva, I'm wanting to say the house was built in 63, but I'm not certain. I am surprised that we've lived here for eight years and we haven't broken them. The glass seems so thin when you touch it...hopefully, I didn't just jinx myself. :)
The Ricotta Cake calls for diced citron, but I don't like the texture of it. I do think it would taste good though with a little hint of orange in it.
Happy New Year to you too Diva. xoxo.
