The State Of The World

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas 

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up: To more than I can be 

My good friend Nessa who follows all of our blogs but does not have one herself just sent me this picture.  Yep an underwire bra with a filler cup is good protection.  Lee said those bras that poke you had to be good for keeping something up and out.

Nessa raised my spirits up today.

Stay Home

Don't travel down my road and back again

I want you alive and well

I'm a Big Boy

Lee always calls me her Big Boy or Man Of The House.

But usually at this time of the year she confuses me.  See usually during Lent and only during Lent does Lee go to the Big Boy.  Lee says they have one of the best fish sandwiches.

Yep when we walk by this guy Lee says there is the Big Boy but wait I am her Big Boy.

I'm confused.

Lent is sad this year because we can't go to the Big Boy.

We can't go to Friday Fish Fry Dinners.

We can't pray the steps to the Holy Cross Immaculata Church in Mt. Adams.

We can't go to the Cincinnati Zoo or Krohn Conservatory to see the flowers.

Why Lee even said there will be no Easter dinner this year.
Chewy will you get me my kibbles because I at least want that for Easter Dinner under my green beans.

I say this is just a nightmare so Bugger Off Covid-19.

IN PURRSUIT OF FLAVOURS

 Easy Blog IN PURRSUIT OF FLAVOURS 

Yep I am mixing it up with the Phenny and Nelly.

To my Lee nothing is as good as a fresh salad with her homemade salad dressing.

The last of our lettuce till we can get out again!

Lee uses the tiny heirloom tomatoes particularly the deep purple ones.  Usually her salads have sliced carrots, celery, thin mandolin sliced red sweet onion and Kalamata olives the large dark purple ones.  The more colorful the better.  

So here is her special recipe for the Salad Dressing.
Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Lee loves the mayonnaise with olive oil)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk (whoops Lee forgot to put the buttermilk in the picture)
1 1/2 tsp. minced roasted garlic
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Instructions
Well just whisk it together

For croutons Lee takes old bread and cuts it up in no particular way.  Toss with melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, tossing the pan every five minutes
Make sure they are crunchy and golden
Let cool

Next time we will have roasted asparagus or maybe mashed cauliflower gratin casserole.

I'm Prepared

When Lee went to the grocery two weeks ago she came home with bad news.

  Lee said the grocery had no green beans or canned pumpkin for my special diet.

Who in a pandemic is buying up all the canned pumpkin?

  Lee got me the last really super sized packaged hamburger so I would have meat and a bag of carrots and cottage cheese for a month.

Lee said at least I did not use toilet tissue or hand sanitizer for there was none.

Well guess what a friend found me this.

Yep she bought me a large bag of green beans and four cans of pumpkin enough for a month and left it at my door.  Thanks Janet!

I'm prepared for the pandemic!

Lee said consider this my Easter Basket this year.
Yeah right I knew that was happening!
My state is in lockdown.

It's Them

Lee and I were stuck in traffic and Lee was trying to change lanes because there was an accident in our lane.  

  

I was sitting in my car seat and I saw them.

  I looked up and there they were.

They were going past our world just like my Blogville logo that spins on my sidebar.

I saw Elliott and ET!

Why ET rides like I do in the basket while Lee pumps like Elliott.

But what's wrong that Lee cannot get us off the ground?

Lee keeps telling me it is a new mural in our Nati City but I know different it was truly them.  I believe do you?

Naughty or Nice

Were you Naughty or Nice?

Did you do the Snowflake Shake?

Did you Wack a Penguin?

Because you sure did something to drive old Kris Kringle to drink!

Yes all you dogs out there Kris Kringle does not want those cookies and milk ~ he wants the booze.

You had better watch out because when Kris Kringle gets upset we get a whole lot of albino brain jiggers dumped on us.

Yep they are coming down!

Another Nati City Christmas Tradition

I have showed you many Christmas traditions in Nati City but I have never shown you the center of my city at Christmas.

Tyler Davidson Fountain ~The Genius of Water.  

It sits right in the center of my city.

It is regarded as the city's symbol and one of the area's most visited attractions.  It was dedicated in 1871 and is the centerpiece of my city.

The 43 foot tall fountain is cast in bronze and sits on a green granite base.

The inscription "To the People of Cincinnati" appears on its base.

At Christmas the square holds a giant cedar tree like Rockefeller Center.  Nati City has a big lighting ceremony.

Hi, see me here?

Behind the cedar we have an ice rink set up where you can skate everyday and into the night with the gorgeous tree lights.

The building behind the tree is where my Lee worked for years on the 45th floor and in the lobby stands this tree. 

The lighting is very funny because of a glass ceiling that goes up two stories till the upper floors in the building start.  This is where Santa comes.  He is suppose to be here at noon so I get my picture taken with Santa. I'm first in line can you tell.  Lee wanted to get here early for me.

Where Lee ate lunch today had these gorgeous window boxes and Lee sat at this window so I could see her and I got leftovers.  I always order leftovers which was salmon today.

Well I have more Christmas photos I will show you next week.
