This video would not be complete without one of your sweet fur babies. The book review was good but you two were wonderful. Thank you for sharing your home/life together. 😍

You are kind to say that. Bobbie (the cat) knew we were in the middle of something, and she wanted to play too!

Please start a channel with just you two interacting. It would be amazing and I could watch it all day. You two are gems.

Well, how adorable are the two of you? Thank you for letting us peek into your life like we were old friends. You both could be in a sitcom. I found myself full of belly laughs. I look forward to your reviews every week but this week was exceptionally good. Please do this more often.

Life is full of surprises for sure! I love Daniels drink, as I love anything with coconut and pineapple. Also I adore nutmeg. I use it in my quiche, bread pudding, peach cobbler, banana or zucchini breads. It adds such a wonderful note to anything baked. But in a drink? Can't wait to try it with my rum drinks.

@@thetartantopiary I remember taking an ax and opening a coconut. I was 3. I remeber my dog, a dachshund, and a category 5 typhoon named Karen. My grandmother came from Minnesota when my sister was born. Gramma changed the channel and I asked her to go home. When I was 8 I spent every minute with her and she taught me how to sew and knit. I think that made up for telling her to go home 4 years before! She was a nurse in the Great War, and a foster mother for the state from the time she got married until she was in her 60s. I have her laugh. My ear burst on the jet when we left Guam. I have many memories from Guam. I only had one hissy fit when I left a place, and that was Niagara.
