Mimi And Daddy-O On Duty

Babysitting is going on right now. No time to write a blog. There has been cooking, however, (we do have to eat) so I'll catch up later.

We've been busy. The good kind of busy.

Love the pics of summer fun. I hope dream bunny got some quick help for the amputation! I notice there is a recipe for "cowboy coffee cake" in your recipe book.
