    1. Hey Ginny. Thank you. Really fun to shoot.

      The stick blenders some of them come with lots of toys. I've used a bunch of them already and even made slaw. Sooooooo good.

      Happy Weekend and boogie boogie.

  22. The kitchen gadget looks wicked. I cry or tears come to my eyes when I watch Rudolph the red nose rain deer. Mostly when the other reindeer wouldn't let him play.

    1. Thanks, it's a great tool for sure. Used it a billion times already.

      Yes, it can be sad for sure that part. But it's also a fun story too.

      Great to see you doing Wordless Wednesday. I got that from Mari. Have you been to her blog? Very good. Lots and lots of good stuff.

      Here's a link to copy and paste if you wanna check her out or go above, she's also in the comments.

    1. Much thanks, Henny Penny! The one with the Whisk name is on my blog now as a banner. I change them out often. Wishing you a fun weekend ahead. Really enjoying your blog. Our black walnuts got covered in snow and the critters though, they still find them and off to the woods they go.

    1. How cool is that and that you are comfortable and to me, that is worth the price. Good service like that, is worth it, IMO. Very, very glad that you found them and not hard on the eyes. lololololol. That's very funny and I love it!

  31. Love the header! I remember way back in the old days of blogging doing a header challenge every week. Lots played along but it would be hard to get any participation these days. Thanks so much for stopping by today. :)

    1. Thank you Martha. Nice to meet you. Loved the Jurassic Park fun that your son has. What a hoot!

      A header challenge sounds like a lot of fun too. That's neat. I enjoy changing them out often though back when I started blogging, I didn't want to do that, now a days I'm all for it.

      Thanks for stopping in. I look forward to reading more of your adventures.

    1. Hellloooooo Julia and WELCOME BACK! Great to see you and LOVED your Autumn Cozies. I've been watching a bunch of goofy holiday movies and silly as they are, I just adore them. Your book looks fun. I haven't started my holiday book yet. A Christmas mystery. Hope it's a fun read. Again, great to see you again. Hope we see more of you before the year is out.

  33. I have pictures of poo that you would howl with laughter. bob can't move, so I bring him photos of EVERYTHING, so he knows what is going on. I even take photos of how much the dwarf powder puff is growing in a pot. I showed him the sloppy poo then the firm poo and he was shocked at the difference. I have no one else to show or talk to so do a lot of Make Do.

    1. Hey Sandra! You are funny with the poo stories. Though I am sorry to read that Bob can't move. You are doing such a great job of caring for your honey bunny. You really are Wonder Woman and then some. Huggs and love to you.

    1. Hi Jo. Nice to see you here. Love that you're gonna get a stand mixer. I have a light yellow one and OMG, the things it can do blows my mind. There's something about a sturdy strong bit of kitchen kit. Excited to see what you make with yours and the coffee machine sounds good toooooo!

  35. Liked the header as well, Ivy, but the red font doesn't stand out enough, perhaps white would be better than a highlight behind it, just wondering? I enjoy my immersion blender as well but sadly it did not cdome with all those fun attachments.

    1. Thank you, Beatrice! Yes, you're right. The red for sure is faded. I agree with you. I have two pictures coming tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday and I used an easier to read off-white. Very cool that you have a stick blender too. What do you like to make with it?

      Delete
    2. My immersion blender is mostly used to puree soups like butternut squash and broccoli-avocado, sometimes for potatoes. It only has a stick and shist attachment so not as versatile as yours, Ivy.

    3. Hey Beatrice! Those are fun things to blend. Love that. Have you tried cauliflower, mashed yet? We just had more tonight. Soooo gooooood.
