It sounds like the very best kind of entertainment. We have a counter that hubby snacks at a lot. I would love to as well but the stools I bought are too hard for my back.

The Yorkies always bring their toys in and entertain him until they tire out and then he holds them in his lap so they can have a front row seat too. I don't know what they would do if we changed the routine, might just have to try something new?!?!?!

I love the idea of sitting face to face and discussing the days events. You don't have to sit at a table to enjoy delights from the kitchen. Dinner looked yummy and the corn muffins - yum - Once the weather warms a bit and you sit outside it will be glorious, but for now this little nook looks quite comfy ;-)Vintage Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180199884623441185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-79270557054287964152014-05-01T12:15:47.680-07:002014-05-01T12:15:47.680-07:00While Bentley enjoys getting a new toy, he has to ...While Bentley enjoys getting a new toy, he has to "break it in" first.

We have a little tv in the kitchen so we watch the news while I cook. When the nice warm weather comes if it ever does we will sit on our amazing screened porch. <br />we have no pets right now we are still missing our kitty who was 20 when she passed away. We haven't had a dog in several years we wanted our kitty's last years be without the stress of getting use to a dog. We will wait until the time feels right to the both of us and then we will add a pet. Your Bently sounds darling.<br /><br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-45942950259311111582014-04-30T14:28:22.727-07:002014-04-30T14:28:22.727-07:00That's so funny!
