Pumpkin

Someone needs to adopt him.

Hello, my name is Pumpkin. I am adventurous and sleek! I am friendly and love to meet new people that come to visit with me! I am a bit of a lion in a kitty’s body, so when we start to play, you may notice that I can get a little bit excitable. An adult only home would suit me best for this reason. Could we be a match? Come and see about taking me home. - See more at:

Cherry Cake Recipe

This is a recipe I got from one of my Grandmother's old recipe books.

Not sure what "lemon flavouring" is - I just use lemon juice. This recipe doesn't say what size of pan to use, but I use a large loaf pan. The batter will come up to the top, but it won't rise very much - the cake is like a pound cake.It is even more delicious when frozen and then thawed; the freezing does something wonderful to the texture.

I made a 1/2 recipe as I didn't have enough cherries. I substituted margarine and lactose-free milk.

I baked this at 350 degrees for an hour and twenty minutes. Delicious!

French Shoes I Should Have Bought

This is what happens when you tell yourself you don't really need more shoes and, besides, do you really have the room in your suitcase? You regret not buying really nice shoes!!!

I'm trying

I'm trying to get good photos of my basement bathroom, which is proving to be difficult. In the meantime, here's a random photo I took that I have on my computer:

This was taken in New Mexico, near the Very Large Array.

Now that our basement bathroom is mostly done, we are having our main floor bathroom/disaster area renovated. Here are some of the things going into our new bathroom.
