Well I, Sweet William The Scot, got my apron on and I am going to bake up something special just for today because Ranger told me it was Apple Dumpling Day.
Don't you just love a pretty plate of fruit. But that apple is becoming a dumpling.
Dogs don't eat grapes.
Yep we know a little something about apples because Lee's distant cousins have apple orchards full. Why that is their livelihood. Lee's Grandmother use to send her over to help pick in the Fall.
My special apple dumpling. Topped with the bestest ice cream.
Yep Lee bought us Cincinnati's own Graeters Bourbon Pecan ice cream to top off our home made apple dumplings.

Oops I forgot the warm bourbon sauce that you pour over first.
Thanks for being a friend

Saturday September 19th is Speedy's Party to celebrate the anniversary of him becoming a Pirate Captain! The Ship the SS Speedy will be sailing and I will be on board.
Lee put beads in my beard ~ what will that woman do next to me?
Wait till Speedy sees my ship!
Real ships are in my Nati City this week and I went on board them. Show you next Monday.
Ahoy maties!
One of the test Lee had done last week was an Orbscan.
Pretty colored picture!
She has always had perfect vision and been very lucky in never having had to wear glasses.
But since last October with the Vestibular Disorder and in that that nerve and the eye nerve squeeze through a tiny area in the base of your brain her vision is deteriorating. This test showed she is developing Keratoconus.
Which mean her cornea on both eyes are getting thin spots.
Lee said as Scarlett O'Hara said in Gone With The Wind "I 'll think about that tomorrow".
Looks like you are all set to celebrate. An apple dumpling a day will keep the vet away

ReplyDeleteYUM!!! I need one of those dumplings!
ReplyDeletethat looks totally delicious - we are going to have to go online and see if we can find a good recipe for them
ReplyDeleteYum I wish I was there to help you eat your apple dumpling. Did Lee have to say "leave it" while she was taking your picture because I know mom would have just had a picture of a blur and missing dumplings.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Losing your vision isn't good. Especially for me-I don't have ears to compensate.
ReplyDeleteRingy-dingy-dee, do you have any Apple Dumpling left for me?!? Sir William, that dumpling sure looks delicious and oh, the bourbon sauce and ice cream sound like the perfect complements. Yum! I sure hope your Lee is doing well. Tell her I send lots of Cairn cuddles for her! You two take care...

Last week was eventful between getting knocked of the wharf into the deep deep Ohio River (thank God Wills just kept running the wharf trying to find a shorter distance to jump in till a nice women grabbed his leash) than retinal laser ~ well we could have bypassed that week totally. That was the week that was, it's over let it go.

Pawppy has a 'bump' on his retina, potentially a hole or a blindness maker. But at least the specialist looked at it for the third time,and deemed it stable for now. So no surgery needed. Hooray!
Oh yum! I'm not sure if I've ever had an apple dumpling. I'll have to find a recipe.
