A temporary “Toby” break . . .

After we got back from Park Street, we showed Toby to our neighbor’s (Kathleen) friend who happened to be outside . . . . .  Kathleen had two of her other friends inside who were wanting to see Toby (apparently Kathleen had talked to them about Toby). They asked if Toby can stay with [...]

Toby at the work place . . .

Yesterday, JP, AC and Toby went to visit me and my co-workers. Since I had a training workshop until noon, I had them pick me up so that I didn’t have to walk as it would have taken me at least 15 minutes to get to my building (Is that lazy or what?) [...]

Linguine with Clams & Parsley

What to do when you have lots of ripe bananas . . .

You bake 4 loaves of the Banana Sour Cream Walnut Loaf! And that is just what I did last night . . . so this morning, I gave some to our neighbor and to our friends. I only ended up with one loaf because both the kiddies are not too crazy about the [...]
