***A Thelma Update!***

Thelma has never been a follower ...

She likes to blaze her own trail.

She was brave enough to hop the fence and sit on our front porch.

Now in the midst of inches of snow ...

Thelma has decided to molt!

So now, according to her Mom (otherwise known as Dr. Amy)

she is living in the comfort of the cozy heated quest house next door ...

in the lap of luxury!

Who said chickens are dumb???

No Bentley ... you cannot disturb Thelma right now, she is busy

growing new feathers!!!

Further updates as necessary.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Seasonal Sunday Mornings

Welcome to our holiday kitchen this morning!

What would you like?

Scrambled eggs?

Or how about some French toast sprinkled with powdered sugar?

What about some blueberry pancakes?

Whatever you decide, I'll be happy to whip it up for you!

After breakfast, we can visit The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday.

You can come too Bentley!!! Yes, I know ... you'll be happy with anything

your Momma decides to make.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Holidays and a Winner

And the Random Generator chose :

Debbie of "Simply Debbie".

Congrats Debbie! Please send me your mailing address.

I'll send your mini pink chair off to you.

And now some sweet pink holiday ornaments ...

Vintage pinks ...

And a santa with a pink hat too!

Have a Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Bentley ... I don't think we have any pink toys left. You chewed

up the pink popsicle and Momma can't find another

one like it!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Bentley's Inside Day

Bentley, I know you want to go outside and play in your yard

but the snow is still quite deep. You have to stay on the path

and I know that's not much fun.

How about a story?

I could read to you from this book.

The title is "Jingle Bell Bark". It's a mystery ...

what do you think?

I have some of your favorite Christmas toys in a comfy chair.

Shall I read to you??

Okay Momma ~ I'm ready!

While I read to Bentley, be sure to stop by and visit Cindy

for Show and Tell Friday.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Vintage Christmas Memories

One of the reasons I love Christmas so much is

because of all the happy memories ...

Recipes from friends like my dear friend

Mary Kay. She still lives in NY

and I'm here in Idaho, but I'll always

remember baking Christmas Cookies together!!

Vintage cookie cutters and an old wooden spoon.

A cheery and vintage Christmas apron.

An old recipe box filled with treasured family favorites

The Christmas dishes we use every year.

I guess I'm just a sentimental girl,

but I love all the family traditions.

I suspect most of you do too!

Please go visit Suzanne for more Vintage Thingies!

Bentley, you love your old chewed up toys ~ they are your

very own Vintage Thngies!

Love,

Susan and Bentley
