When I bought the ham, I also bought a leg of lamb. $3.99 a pound for boneless.

Tomorrow a friend and I are going to scour the county for all the good deals on Easter decorations for the Moose Lodge Easter hunt next year.........then we won't being running around like chickens without heads the week before and the morning of.

Oooooh!

You got a deal on that lamb!

Sounds like a good plan with the decor, too.

The weird thing about the lamb, that I didn't realize is that it wasn't on sale - that is the regular price for it. but I never bought it before, because I didn't realize it was boneless. Now I don't have to deny myself what has to be one of my absolute favorite meats.

As to the decor - yes it is a good idea - after all the fun was over my friend and I sat back and went over just want we need to do differently next year and that was the first thing that came to mind.......we were scrounging around looking for cups, plates, napkins, etc at 12:30 yesterday afternoon - the party started at 1:00.

Of course next year really won't matter if neither of us were elected to the offices we voted on last week.......but since neither of us were opposed, it appears to be a smart plan!!!

Lamb is my favorite.

I'm hoping to score a deal tomorrow!

That pup's not mine, but I did spend the day with a 16 week old pug.

You know, I just never have had an attraction for the small lap-type dogs. I don't like the huge big ones either (there's a Great Dane in our agility class (!) ), just a medium-size dog with a job to do.

Just as well, there wouldn't be enough Labs to go around . . . :-D

In my lifetime I've had a lot of dogs. The biggest was a St. Bernard and the smallest a Yorkie Terrier, and I was charmed by every last one; they are that cool.

Well, I've always liked Siamese cats. I used to breed and show them, I currently have just three.

The dog is bemused by them; they range from tolerant of the dog to downright nasty language. She doesn't care, she likes to wash them when she gets a chance. They don't ever bite or scratch her, so I guess they don't REALLY mind.

I'm waiting for the "grab shot" of the lion lying down with the Lab, so to speak. I got my three in their heated pet bed - the youngest and the oldest (the two on the right) pretended to hate each other for quite awhile, until I caught them in the pet bed with their front paws around each other. "You are SO busted," I told them.

They are so cute in there together! How many boy Siamese do you have? There's at least one for them to be sharing that bed, yes?

Due to stray infiltrations I've ended up with four females, a terrible combination. They're so territorial they require separate beds. The youngest is 5 and the oldest is maybe 8 or 9, and they've made this a madhouse for for 8 years. Fights break out all the time, and two cats won't even go in the same room if the other is there. They're totally perverted and I love them all.

Strays I think are more territorial than house-bred cats.

My females get along fine - in that shot the boy happens to be in the middle, but you're just as likely to see the girls snoring away with their front paws around each other and their heads cheek to cheek. The worst disagreement was between the little female and the boy, but it was all just shirt-tearin' as they say, no real clobbering, just jumping on each other from behind the furniture and running away.
