The Man Cakes

TJ is the best real pancake maker. They were the best cakes I have had in years. I wished I had the recipe for them but I don't but I will and I will post it. And I'm not a huge fan of them but I ate two, smaller ones of course. I didn't eat the man cakes. Great job TJ, let us know when your cooking again and we will be over.

Bubba, the good little brother

Now that Bubba crawls, climbs, and walks around furniture and gets into everything including trying to barge in on the Barbie and Polly Pockets play time with "The People". I have heard on several occasions, "Seriously Mom can't you get him out of here"?
When Bubba is not encroaching in on "The People" he is connected to his Momma's hip. Oh how he loves his Momma. Just loves her to death. He really can't even explain how much he loves his Momma. In the New Year the time will come when .......... he becomes Big Boy Bubba.

"The People" and I did a big baking afternoon making Christmas Cookies. After much deliberation on what kind of sprinkles and frosting and shapes and who's cookies are who's and making sure they keep their cookies are on their cookie sheet, because we didn't want anyone else to sample their special cookies the rolled , sprinkled , frosted and licked . The all afternoon cookie making extravaganza was a success when they delivered Grandma's cookies to the neighbors houses and asked them if they would like them to sing them a song. Only "The People".....

Bring it On........

I'm almost ready for scary months ahead. I haven't got the right boots yet, casual and dress of course.
I made the last trip to the storage unit for the winter more than likely. These boxes and things came from the "other" storage unit that I started four years ago.
I have down sized a great deal after thirty years I'd believe. I'm sure if these boxes ever get unpacked everything in them will be something I don't need but have paid money to store for numerous years. So the moral to the story is : when you move, sell it all.

More of Washington

Abraham Lincoln at Night

A night time photo session was a really nice night. There was no wind and no rain , the air was clean and you could see the stars. It was a little brisk but tolerable with a wool sweater and a hoodie. Did that sound like I'm adjusting to this weather?
The lighting was really good. I would like to spend some more time there taking some more shots.
The Washington Obelisk is defiantly a land mark for the DC metro area.

A Quick Stroll Down the National Mall

The White House is still picturesque and stately. I want to get a tour but I didn't plan in advance to well. I guess you have to go through your congressmen and be recommended and then go through a back round check. So I will find out the details on how the take care of this and have it on the list of things to do next time I'm here. I thought it would be fun to go see the Christmas decorations but I guess not this year.
This fella was out side the White House gate and he was one gnarly dude. He has some hardware on him that I think might have taken down a whole herd of elephants. Maybe he was on a hunt in the White House grounds. I only got one picture I didn't want him to yell at me. Yikes!!!!
The Washington Monument standing tall and as a land mark to which direction you need to go.
The capital building is a good tour. We went through it a few years ago so I didn't bother to go to close. We are going to go back to the National Mall again to see the other presidents and will post later.
