To Nicole’s and Maybelle's delighted surprise, James arrived ahead of
schedule. When I tried to take Maybelle
for her walk, she was so reluctant to leave James that she walked for several
blocks with her head turned longingly backwards.
*************
My contribution to supper tonight
will be homemade hamburger buns and a Jellied Waldorf salad from Knox On-Camera Recipes. Nicole is doubly intrigued -- a retro recipe AND it’s jellied!
The pecans for the salad come from a
tree in Nicole’s backyard.
Maybelle loves pecans, too.
When James tires her out, playing with her
Wubbly, she scrounges around under the tree for a treat which she expertly shells herself.
