Pot of Gold

Holy Cow! Slap me silly and color me tickled. Look what I won over at The Pioneer Woman!

Out of thousands of entries, the random generator picked me. Me, me, me! Have I mentioned how I lust for beautiful cookware and sharp knives? And I love this color. I have just the place to put it in the pantry in the new house. I'll be cookin' soup all winter (but not calf nuts, PW).

And ya' know, after a year of ice storms, funerals and generally crappy luck, it's nice for something good to happen for a change. Sigh. Thanks Pioneer Woman. You have no idea how much I needed this pot.

The Spittin' Image

Mrs. Scrubs entered Special Delivery in the cutest baby contest at the festival in our hometown this past weekend. And there are some signs that he's going to be just like his daddy. She had Speical Delivery all dressed up in his little sailor outfit. His hair was nice and neat, and he was as cute as a bug’s ear. The obvious winner, in our biased opinion. The only problem? He was more interested in a nap than the contest. Now, in all fairness to him they held the darn thing at prime nap time for babies. He wasn’t the only sleepy one. But he certainly was the best one at sleeping. Oh, he fought it a little.And then right before time to go on stage, he gave it up.And it didn’t matter if she held him up Or to the sideHe was out. Like a light. And he stayed that way the whole time he was on the stage. He didn’t win Best Smile or Best Personality, but ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the 2009 Best Napper. Yep, that boy is looking more and more like his daddy every day.
