ferret love...

Meet Malcolm (Reynolds) and Sly (Stallone)

my lovely friend Ashley's ferret friends and the two cutest mustelids I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. They came to market last weekend...and the little old lady thought they were "from Mars" - she'd never seen such a thing!!!! (she also thought Ashley was my daughter...but that's another rant for another day)

speaking of small mammals...tomorrow is my baby girl's 8th birthday!?!?!?!?!?!?! She's got her day all planned out...and it will include a trip to grandma's to bake her cake (an orange bundt cake in the shape of a chrysanthemum); a trip to the coffee shop for "kaffe klatch"; presents; and baked potatoes for dinner. Her actual party - "the party of cheese" will be Saturday after market. Festivities/activities will include: pinata whacking (we got a clown head pinata, couldn't find Dora the Exporer - she really wanted to whack Dora...very disappointing) Hangman, icecream making (in the soccer ball ice cream maker) a jungle themed tea party, silly hats and cheese....lots and lots of cheeeese (I do like a nice Wendsleydale Grommit)

and yes, I have decided to start counting WW points again....after her party....
