Blog, and you shall receive

Apparently, if you blog that you want something, you receive it! My Mom read on my blog that I was greatly wishing that I had a homemade blackberry cobbler, so she made me one yesterday.

Mom was going to drive it to me here in McKinney, but Lola changed the plans. Lola started showing signs on Wednesday (then on Friday and again yesterday) that her pancreas might be getting off-kilter, so I decided that we were going to go to Nocona last night so that we could go see our favorite vet in Wichita Falls this morning. Lola's bloodwork looks pretty good (maybe not normal, but probably her version of normal), so for now, she is on a couple of days medicine to try and get her tummy back in order. She had a little fever and was a little bit dehydrated too, so after the vet, we made a stop by my favorite snow cone place on earth, Bahama Bucks. I miss having a BB close and they have one in WF, so we hit it up before we left town.

Lola got her own little snow cone (minus the syrup)



For one more problem, my air conditioner seems to be having its yearly flare up. It is cooling a little (thank the lord), but it is running non-stop because it won't cool enough. I called the home warranty place who sent me to an a/c company who cannot come until Wednesday. Wednesday!!! I was sure hoping to get his in order by tomorrow. Wish us well in this heat!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
