Allie & Piper
I love this video of Miss Allie and my sister-in-laws new pup, Piper. You will hear me also go into a panic in this video. The reason for that is that Piper was only about 6 weeks old, 1.5 lbs. and had just got out the hospital a couple days before for what the vet thinks was a collapsed lung. But as you can tell from this video he had no side effects from it. The only thing Miss Allie wanted to do was chew her bone.
I’m Back…
I’m sorry I have been gone for so long. I had my hand surgery. I had a ganglion cyst removed from my right hand, again. It was just 3 years ago when it was taken off. This time it had grown through my hand at a very fast rate. It is gone once again and my hand is almost back to normal. Let’s hope that it doesn’t come back. Gary was absolutely wonderful this time around helping me out, he is even doing massage therapy on my scar for me. I can’t stand to touch it, it turns my stomach right around.
Allie is growing by leaps and bounds. She is one today. I think I’ll get her a cupcake on Thursday and have a small party for her. I bought her some toys and left them in the bag but the little brat found them and was playing with them. We been working with her in the water but she just doesn’t seem brave enough to swim. Is there a trick to get your dogs to swim? This is the first dog we have ever had so I’m new to all of this. She’s just so gentle, maybe I have babied her too much. Gary tried to get her to kill a snake the other night and she wanted to just smell it instead. I’m sorry but I want my dog to kill snakes. Ughh. We don’t see them very often but sometimes in the fields after he mows them they come along. I scream and run the other way when I see them, I would love to have my pup go kill them for me. So I wouldn’t have to worry about them.
I have finally started cooking again. I’m sure that Gary is happy about that. I made these beautiful ribs on the 4th. Oh they were so good. It was the first time I had ever made them. They were so easy and came out perfect. I just seasoned them with salt and pepper, drizzled olive oil on them and baked them in the oven at 225 for 3 hours and then put them on the grill and basted them with gluten free bbq sauce. I used one from Kraft. They were messy, your ribs should be messy with bbq sauce. That’s one of the things that makes them so good.
I have a lot of new recipes that I want to try, I wish my garden would go a tad bit faster. Have several new zucchini recipes, but I haven’t been able to find any fresh yet. As soon as I do, there will be wonderful recipes posted.
A Little Bit of Nothing
I can’t believe that it’s May 8th and I still have not posted anything this month, but then again I can only think of two meals that I have made. They weren’t anything special. Tonight we had tacos and I think the last time was pork chops on the grill with some parsley potatoes. I’m off the next four days and we have so many tasks planned I probably won’t make anything special this week either. I’m in a serious slump. I think it’s the weather. It seems like every time mother natures wants to rain I get a serious sinus headache that knocks me out. Since I don’t have any recipes to share I thought I would share some new pictures of the family. I hope you enjoy them.

Update on Allie Mae
We took Miss Allie to the doctor today and she has an infection in her feet, so she is now on antibiotics for a week. Other than that she is ready to go hunting with her dad.
