Easter / The Bear

Go ahead admit it....This is the cutest dog in the land. He will get next to the daffodils wearing bunny ears and think nothing of it.

I did manage to get a sad photo of LuLu wearing bunny ears. As she is trying to get them off her head. Just before she fled and is hiding somewhere in the yard.

Happy Easter! I bet you can't wait to see Bear in his Jockey Silks!

Spring / The Bear

I can always count on Bear to pose for me. LuLu wouldn't even come outside all she needed to see was the camera in my hand and she knew no good could come from the endeavor. Bear knows he is adorable and the entire land lives to dote on him.

Patticakes @ The Mellwood Arts Center

Here is Patti featuring her new KY Cakes for Derby. Derby Sticker on Packaging makes a Great Hostess Gift! The small one is the perfect size for a person needing a pick me up. I know this because people have told me. Oh who am I kidding.....I get one every time I need a sugar fix.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Sam has a tradition of dressing up at St Patrick on the big day!!! This year is no exception.


I'll be in my store all day spreading blarney and wearing of the green. Kiwi is my choice of green.


Kent plans to stop in with an Irish lunch. He will not be wearing green because it is not his color but...will be green in spirit.
