Sir Catty-Kit (Maine Coon - Sealpoint Siamese)
He sure is a handsome fellow, and its easy to see that he is a wonderful pet. Your family is lucky to have him and vice versa. Some people treat their pets as family members, and they seem to always be the happiest people in the world. Thanks for sharing the...
Scenery: Fall In Santiam Canyon (OR)
Looking at places like this causes a yearning in my heart. Surely, I must have been an Indian in a life before this. These is a connection so strong, and I feel it every time I see this type of picture. These are especially beautiful. Thank you. Lee
Cat Cat (Domestic Short Hair)
I think a lot more cats like to play around water than is known about. Im not sure they like to get in the rain and most are pretty much afraid of deep water. This is a darling picture of Cat-Cat. Thanks, Lee

Love it. This is way more than just a card, and will be fun to make for someone very special. Thanks for the idea. Lee

Everyone else has already said the important stuff, so Ill just say thank you for sharing Merlin and your great story about how you came to have him in your life. It sounds like he chose you. What a wonderful blessing for all of your family. So Thank You and...
Green Chili Corn Muffins
Cornbread has always seemed to be a Southern Classic and when I was growing up, all us girls had to learn to make it right and good, or we were probably never going to find a husband. I learned. LOL Now, Im finding out that it was pretty much the same in the...
Chinese Ching-A-Ling
I think this would make a great ANY night special. It sounds so good that I might eat it for breakfast even, if there were any leftovers. Our kids love Chinese too. Thanks. Lee
Simmered Garbanzo Beans and Tomato With Basil
Make that 3 books. Ill buy one too, Deeli. You really do share a lot of good recipes. Do you just dream them up, or are they old-family favorites, or from another printed source. Anyway, you have a knack of picking and choosing that is really great. There are...
Molly (Dog)
How cute, and so clever the way youve written Mollys little story. So glad you got the photo fixed so that we could see the Black and White just behind her. Thank you for sharing your creativity and the pets with us. Molly and the kitty are adorable. Lee
Wilted Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
I like any salad or side dish that has spinach in it. Ill definitely be making this. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Lee
Scenery: Jet Stream 9/11 Tribute
Deeli, the photos are beautiful and are a tribute to the people who lost the most on 9/11. We have just barely missed a few similar incidents in our country since then, and that should tell us that we need to keep on our toes, and be very careful about everything...
The Old Country Telephone
I wish I could remember all the old things the way you do. My own children never seemed very interested in hearing about the childhoods of me or my parents, but my grandchildren sure do ask alot of questions. Im going to print your story out and read it to...
Oatmeal and Raisin Breakfast Cookies
Yum yum. I will definitely bake some of these . My kids will love them, and so will hubby and me. Oatmeal raisin is our all time fav. Thank you. Lee
Otis (Horse)
That is one fine looking horse and your granddog is nice too. They both look like healthy nice animals. My grandparents had horses and I was allowed to feed and help take care of them in exchange for riding a few of them. There was one mare that loved kids...
Jen's Berry Berry Good Cake
This sounds so good and so easy. Will definitely try it as soon as I find good ripe strawberries. Thanks for sharing. Lee
Keep Shower Rack From Sliding Down Shower Head
I use those blue wide rubber bands from broccoli for many things. They work especially well on clothes hangers to keep clothing from sliding off. Good use of them for your shower caddy too. Thank you. Lee
Lemon Jello Bundt Cake
Lemon is a great favorite in our family. Will enjoy making and serving this cake. Thank you for sharing. Lee
Lemon Jello Bundt Cake
Right now, Im working the night shift, and when I get home, Im too wound up to go to sleep. Im going to use some of that unwinding time to bake things. Its a nice peaceful time with no interruptions. Since I have everything to make this cake already here in...
Black Russian Cake
I get the best recipes from Thrifty Fun, and this is just further proof. I can almost taste this cake just reading the recipe. We brought back Kahlua from Mexico when we visited there 3 years ago and have never opened it. Saving it for something special, and...
Morning Glory Muffins
Weve eaten at the Barnhills in Jackson, Mississippi, and have eaten their Morning Glory Muffins many times. I so often wished for the recipe but was always too shy to ask. Im very happy to find it here and not at all surprised that I did. I always get the best...
Saying Goodbye to a Paradise: The...
Lovely story Pookarina. I thoroughly enjoyed it although I really am upset over what is happening to such beautiful places all up and down the Gulf Coast. People havent seen what that oil spill has already done to Louisiana and Alabamas coastal areas. Its really...
Johnny Marzetti Casserole
This sounds so good that whoever cooks it first hopefully will give me a call. Ill be there as soon as possible. Ill even bring the salad. LOL. This is a serious recipe, thats for sure, and like someone else said, I would have loved to be there cooking and...
Sadie Belle (Boxer)
Were beginning to feel like we know Sadie Belle too. Seeing her through your words brings her as close as our own living room. I would love to see her run and play. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. Lee
Marsha's Banana-Walnut Tea Bread
Beautiful Banana Bread, Pookarina. I can almost smell it from here it looks so good. Did you take this picture as well as bake the bread? Wow! Thanks for another great recipe. Thumbs Up to Marsha! :-) Lee
Cover Birds To Keep Them Quiet
Thank you, thank you so much. Sometimes, I have to sleep in the daytime, and we have 2 parakeets, both females, (I think), and they quarrel incessantly, or thats what it sounds like anyway. Im going to try keeping light cover over their individual cages and...
Create Stick Sculptures to Attract Birds
If you place a source of water near your stick sculpture, your wild bird friends will always have a safe place to escape to if needs be. This is a really neat idea too. I kinda like a little bit of wilderness in my gardens anyway. Thanks for the great idea...
Wildlife: Parrots
You are so lucky to have all these wonderful exotic birds in your own backyard. How very interesting! I would be watching for feathers all the time and saving them. LOL. Thank you so much for sharing. Lee
Sparrow for Tea
This is a very creative idea. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love the pictures too. Lee
Meat Pie (French Canadian Tourtiere)
Im hungry enough right now to eat half of one of these right now. We have a lot of grated carrots left over from carrot and raisin salad last week, so Im going to cook them in with the meat and add them to my mixture. I love experimenting like that. Thanks...
Polynesian Refrigerator Cake
I was looking for a special dessert for a Friday Night Poker Party coming up this weekend. This perfectly fits the bill. Wow! Are you a mind-reader? Thank you so much. Lee
Apple-Raisin Cornbread
There was a little restaurant near Aurora, Colorado back in the 70s that served this type of cornbread when you first sat down at the table. Many times wed go there in the dead of a cold winters night, and order bowls of hot soup to go with that cornbread. I...
Do Foods Need to Be Heated to Boiling Before Placing on a Steam Table?
Putting you on the defensive didnt serve much in the way of good training for your food-handling job. You should either have had a few good solid rules explained to you, or some type of certificate or diploma awarded to those who have had training in proper...
Rustic Cardboard Birdhouse
I cant believe this is just cardboard. It is beautiful! I think it might be more than Id want to tackle, but Id love to have one. You do make it sound easy though, so maybe. Just maybe. Thanks Songwriter. Lee
Mother's Goulash
My kind of meal if I wasnt always on a diet. Sounds so good. The kids, grandkids and my husband will gobble it all up though, thats for sure. Leave out the corn, and add some canned dark red kidney beans, and you wouldnt even need the meat. Beans would give...
In Memory Of Pepper (California Rabbit)
Any love opens the heart to even more love, so never feel that love for an animal is lost or silly. Those who have never loved an animal may not understand, but those who have understand completely. Lee
Goslings (Baby Geese)
Cute picture. Nothing like baby animals of all kinds to warm up your heart. Lee
Busy Day Casserole
Every day is a busy day right now until the last day of school. I have some leftover baked ham that wasnt at all salty for a change, so Im going to use that and make this cassserole tomorrow. Great easy recipe. Shadow0336
Pork Chops Buried in Dressing
My husband would be in Hubby Heaven as he calls it when I cook something he really likes. He is going to love this. Lee
Date Nut Tea Sandwiches
This sounds so good. I like date nut bread, but never thought about making a sandwich of it. shadow0336

Fairytale Cake
I really like the multi-heights of this cake. It would allow for some very interesting cake decorating. Thanks Angie. Lee
Redheaded Lizards (Broad-Headed Skinks)
Ive lived in Florida off and on a few times in my life, but Ive never run across anything that looks even remotely like these two. Since youve determined they are both males, it makes sense they were probably fighting over a female who was off lurking on the...
Trixie (Gray Tabby)
Im with CyberGrannie. Ive never met a person who loved cats (and dogs and horses etc) that I wouldnt want for a friend. Your Trixie looks to be a very happy, well-fed fur-baby. When she is acting maternal to the younger kitty, she is just passing on what shes...
Thank You Notes for Mom
I cant remember ever hearing of a nicer gift. How fun itd be to give a box like that or to receive one. Thanks Julia, Lee
Split Pea Vegetable Soup
We have always just eaten plain Green Split Pea Soup, but this sounds like a nice way to make it into a lot more. Friends who enjoy our soup parties in the winter will love it. Im going to make a nice southern cornbread to go with it. Thanks for the recipe...
What Breed is My Dog?
Your beautiful dog is a Chow mix. Chow is such a nice strong breed too. Judging by his very pretty face, Id say some Golden Retriever or possibly Irish Setter. He seems to have such a deep red coat along with the cute ears and ruff of a Chow. Hope this helps...
Lengthen Jeans With Contrasting Fabric
So cute, and an adorable model as well. Everyone needs a little doll to make doll clothes for. She looks like shes enjoying it too. Love your craftiness. Good job! Lee
Keepsake Box
I think all children would enjoy making and keeping one of these boxes. Even if you had to help with the decorating and embellishments, they love having things made special just for them. Thanks for sharing. Lee
Making Fancy Shower Curtain Hooks
What a great idea Keeper. Im going to try to find butterflies to paint to go with my butterfly shower curtain. Thank you for sharing a very creative idea. Its a keeper. :-) Lee
