Gidget is two!

Happy Birthday Gidget! We went up to Bellingham to visit some friends - and Gidg got lots of walks and love. At home she got a super-peanut-butter-kong. 

It was also the perfect day to take a field trip to visit an old friend!

bouquets

I have these little bouquets scattered throughout my apartment. One in the kitchen, bathroom, bedside, and table. Sweet and cheery!

The tart was tart.

I invited a friend over for tea on Sunday. I said I would make something special so I made this Cranberry Tart. Although cranberries are often associated with fall (it is their season) you can frequently find them in the freezer section, or freeze a couple of fresh bags in the fall for baking throughout the winter). I made a few adjustments (less sugar, a splash of rum) to the original recipe and it turned out delicious! It was fun to have a Sunday tea - I should do this more often.

Yes, that is a pink dolphin. The albino dolphin living in an inland saltwater estuary near the Gulf of Mexico is not alone, there is a pod of pink dolphins in the Amazon. Albinism is a genetic trait.
