Hi! Trump still thinks he's president, I don't. 

I'm crocheting Lil Squirrel a HUGE christmas stocking. I had a picture of the heel that I just pulled out and re-did, but it's too boring to show you. If someone REALLY wants to see it, let me know in the comments. Inshallah, I'll finish the stocking before Christmas.

M and I have been having Friday happy hours where I make Happy Hour Trays for just the 2 of us. I decided it doesn't matter if there is too much food. There's really nothing else to do but eat anyway. I mentioned this on fb, but we are also playing Yatzee. The game sits there on the counter and you can take a turn as you pass by. Highly recommended. You can get the Yatzee sheet HERE. You'll have to figure out the dice on your own!


Finally, we made an apple thing.
He made the crust and I did the apples. 

There were too many apples so I put some oatmeal, butter and sugar in a bowl and mixed it with my hands and put it over the apples. I wish I had put more oatmeal, butter and sugar in the bowl because there wasn't enough to cover the apples. Everything was delicious!



Not related to home making. This is a picture of Lil Squirrel and myself on Halloween. 
He is a dragon and I'm a witch. 
Pretty much sums up our personalities these days. We didn't have too many passer-bys, but it was still fun! LS got to go trick-or treating at a friend's small neighborhood and it was a hoot! 




Time for BED!
Good night from

Cookies and Muffins

  I'm BAAAACK. Let's get right into it! To make a dumb story long- to make a long story dumb? A few weeks ago I saw this cookie magazine at Woodmans and I was like I. Want. that. Then I saw it cost $12.99. No.  I also know cookie recipes are onLINE, but boring. There's just something fun about looking at beautiful cookie pictures! Anyway, I went home, searched the library and put 2 Christmas cookie books on hold. A week later I got my books and what a disappointment. Boo. No good recipes in either of them. TODAY I'm at the grocery store and there she is, Taste of Home Holiday Cookies and Baking!!! And I was right, within the 1st 5 pages, there were 4 cookies that looked amazing. Even MORE amazing was page 15 where I found the cranberry orange cookies- cause I had cranberries in the fridge and randomly bought an orange at the store today! It was destiny! I also found a recipe for pumpkin muffins.  Let's jump right in shall we.   Cranberry Orange Cookies.  There were

Canoeing down the Lower Zambezi

The group, ours and locals going on to the car ferry.  Entrance to the park Dang, what are these birds, I think they are Camden, or Carmen Bug Eaters? or something. Very pretty. The first African elephant I saw! Much Larger than Asian Elephants Who is that lurking in the water??  Some Hippos! Gorgeous stork (I think?) Another elephant. I wonder if he is older, as shown by his color variation? Me reading the book that the new parents (M and R) gave me! Also, notice the 3 beverages. The one in the glass is called a Malawi Shandy and is great. I think it's ginger ale, bitters and...maybe just that. A Rock Shandy is with lemonade instead of ale.   The evening cruise, didn't see nearly as much wildlife, but this guy was yawning.  Zambian Sunset! A baobab tree. Very cool. I wonder if they are unique to Zambia? Happy Animals to you all! Non-Sequitur

Mutinondo

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder if he or she o
