Four solid hours of futzing and finessing, adding detail, smoothing out the writing, moving thins around, deleting, and adding stuff. I finally wrote three new pages. Whew! I'll take a movie break, then try to write seven more by the end of the evening. If I do that, I'll be passing page two hundred of this manuscript and I'll pass 40,000 word. No, this ain't no novella.

A gravy boat in the form of a cow. What will they think of next?

The gravy comes out of the cow's mouth, so it's like it is vomiting on the ground.

You would need to order two-lol  If we go back I will look for a side dish to go with it.

DR Iris, it's always good to see you, but it's always so late when you show up!

Thank you, DR elmore!
Yes, my sleep schedule has been highly erratic as of late.
I hope you and the Three Little Kittens are staying cool and comfortable.

The dog on the left is Willow, who we had for about a year and a half.

We had to give her up about 7 years ago when the house we were renting was sold out from under us without any notice and the DH lost his job, all within the same terrible week.

The subject of cottage cheese brings back many memories of my youth.

Always had cottage cheese in the refrigerator.

And very beautiful multi-hued jello molds, some layers clear with pineapple or bananas.

Some layers made with sour cream with chopped walnuts.

My mom layered the jello in a huge brandy snifter, then leaned it on its side to chill in the refrigerator.

They were quite artistic, with each layer slanted.

And sounds like it would have required a lot of patience.

Singdaw, that’s a lovely photo of Willow.

She looks like she had a sweet personality.

Yes, singdaw, it took patience and effort.

But dinner guests really loved them.

No iPhones at the time, or there would have been photos.
