Click. **static** The elephant is glazed. Repeat, the elephant is glazed. **static** Click. **silence** 😃 The elephant body and head aren’t very big, but the underglazing was a major pain in the patoot! Very time consuming, but it’s done. I’ll let it dry overnight, and tomorrow, I’ll put the clear glaze on everything that’s been underglazed. But for today, I quit being artistical. I need to find another knitting project. Step one, evaluate my yarn stash. Maybe I have enough scraps to make a multi-color patchwork afghan. Supper tonight will be brats for my sweetie and regular weenies for me, and fresh strawberries for dessert - maybe on vanilla ice cream? _hmmmmmm_ ---

**Nurse** , thanks for the kitteh pics, they are indeed key-ute! 😃 Lovely little soul patch on the male, btw. 🙂 Good luck on naming them! Laundry for today, and a trip to the Farmer’s Market store tomorrow AM. I am on the lookout for at least two cantaloupes! They are the perfect breakfast fruit, imo, well, maybe tied with bananas. Also, the Muller’s yogurt that I tried (blackberry/raspberry blend) was delicious. Definitely a keeper. 🙂 Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday. Gentle hugs and get well wishes to those who feel “icky,” too, btw. ---

DAMMIT posted this in wrong thread today has just been all around sucky I quit! Happy Toosday! It’s been a beautiful day weather wise. House hunting sucked snot through a straw. I used to watch two black and whites brother kitties. Well, they weren’t really kitties. They were big, fat cats. Tom and Jerry. Tom weighed about 8 pounds, Jerry was the light weight at 16 pounds. Jerry was shy and used to try to hide from me by sticking his head behind the stove and flattening himself out on the floor. He looked like a big black and white football. Once I got Jerry cornered in the bathroom trying to give him his medicine. He went from shy and timid 16 pound kittie to a howling, growling, clawing and biting Tasmanian Devil that chased me out of the bathroom, down the hall and into the kitchen. ---

Supper was quick and easy. Strawberries are cleaned, sliced, and in the fridge waiting to land on a pile of French Vanilla ice cream. Yum! It’s been a pretty good day.
