But There Will Be Entry...

Mistress MJ is Back!!!

Perhaps she is rested & will decide to release me...

And in her good judgement, allow me to bathe with little soaps and then to sip from the vodka fountain.....

And

Maybe, just maybe...

If her holiday was indeed.

Mistress will give me my old job back:

I really don't like when Mistress is away, and I sincerely hope & believe that she had the best that repose has ever had to offer, ever....

xoxox my dearest,

wally

I'm Really Not A Fan of Labels......

But -

Obviously normadesmond is.....

So I thought I'd give her one less person, place or thing for her to slap one onto, by just doing it myself:

 The label took me about five minutes-

My spicy ketchup took three days....

But I did get eight half-pints of goodness & one funny label...

xoxox, norma!

Some of What's Really Been Going On...

The American Wild Black Cherry:

We have one growing in the back yard that bore a peck or two of the pea-sized bittersweet fruit, so the old man picked 'em & I put 'em up...

 After all was said & done, we got three quarts of syrup and three quarts of jam.  The syrup is truly amazing, in seltzer to make soda,  served over desserts like cobbler or on vanilla-fudge swirl ice cream (You'd just die & go to hog heaven!).

Then Last Night:

I made some fresh apple-mint jelly, which is not green, as some of you know, but a wonderful golden topaz color...

:

Absolutely Wonderful!

Even if I say so myself...

I Remember When...

I Could Point Out the North Star

Without My Hands, Too....

Nobody Touches My Hair -

Nobody.
