Friends

Yes, I know that I am way behind on blogging and haven't even posted during 2014 once. But let me tell you, I've got a lot on my plate! There's school three or four mornings a week, going on walks, taking care of Prince & Angela & Sally & my other dollies (Prince tends to get 'poopy' diapers), swinging, and, of course, playing. So, yeah, blogging does tend to slip.

But I thought I'd start trying to catch you up before summer comes and I'm once again one year older.

So . . . back to last summer: after getting back from Japan, I spent a lot of time playing with friends. Most of the time I played with friends in the "haara" (neighborhood). We cooked, played outside, even had an end-of-the-summer party, complete with water balloons!

 

Early in the summer, each of us chose a recipe from Mom's "Hershey's Chocolate" cookbook. In August, we made "A's" recipe. It tasted great . . . but did you know that if you try to move a whole cake from one place to the next, it might just break in half?

Yeah, it does.

Whoops

 I gotta tell you, though: broken cake or not, I LIKE those chocolate recipes! They were yum-my!

All set for the water balloon fight

A bit more mellow water play

And this is what you get . . .

When you leave my friends . . .

Alone in the kitchen!
