Funny Things Animals Do

I have to share this and let you know how amusing animals can be.  We have a little stuffed horse, and if you squeeze it’s ear, it will snort, moves its head, tail, and makes sounds like its galloping away.  Shane has typically barked like crazy at this thing. Well this week, he discovered how to make it come to life. He gently nudges the ear with his nose. It starts up and he leaps back with his ears up. Sometimes he barks and sometimes he just looks at it. Such a smart little guy!

Lunch

I did manage to navigate the roads successfully today and made it home for lunch with my two guys.  It was a standard lunch and kept me going for the afternoon.

Broccoli Slaw with add ins plus brown rice, salmon patty and broccoli rabe

We had a Seafood Frittata tonight. I used claw crab meat and Maine lobster meat.  Makes about 8 slices.

Winter storm warning tonight. We were going to Dick’s Sporting Goods since Ted wanted some additional 45 lb weights, but don’t think we want to deal with driving in the mess that’s going on out side.  We have a movie and will most likely watch it with great hopes that our eyes remain open throughout.  Have a good night.
