A Blessed Gift!

About a month before Christmas, I was asked if I would like to have this mixer, even though it had no attachments or a bowl. I told her YES, and that I would gladly purchase the pieces. She wouldn't have it that way, said she would get them herself. I had given up on it as it was months ago! Yesterday, she said they finally came into the store where she had ordered them, (after having to reorder as the company sent the wrong size). I was completely taken by surprise! But so grateful and will put it to good use! Thank you Lord!
I just can't help myself. I love this view. I took this Thursday from the dining room of the home we were cleaning. Can you imagine having this view from any window of your home? Watching the seasons change throughout the year from your dining room table? 

Yesterday I took Stray Kitty to the vet, as he was coughing and not eating well, even though he is near starvation. Vet did some tests and he doesn't have any life threatening diseases, such as Aids or Leukemia, but has an upper respiratory infection and probably a sore throat as a result of that. He eats canned food like you would expect a starving cat to eat. I think he would kill for that! Also have to give him antibiotics for 2 weeks, in his food. Vet thought maybe the scabs all over his nose were burns. So we will feed him and hope he starts to look and feel better.

Now I'm off to make something with my new (used but in perfect working order) mixer. Probably cookies or something! Come on in and share them with us!

Oh my dear Mother, you are so funny. I wouldn't know where 'scong' would come from either. Except, just maybe, Mrs. Woosey slipped it in just to confuse yoy.[yoy?] oh dear, she did it to me too. She's that way you know. She's been known to do some wierd things, like make a post just disappear up into thin air. She's pulled that one on me, just snuck up from behind and snatched it away. Gotta watch her, cover your rea oops, pockets.

E's favorite cookie is Oatmeal Scotchies. Recipe on the back of the bag. That is the first one I made, then a couple of days later I used the dough hook and made pizza dough, which turned out very nice and it was so easy to do!
