Girl 9, Vinnies, & Cheese

Hi everyone,

Today is my last day with Girl 9.  She goes back tomorrow morning.

She has been a nice companion for me, although she has been nervous with all the recent storms.  Here she is with the much loved Teddy.   It's turned out to be the best $2 I have ever spent as all the foster dogs love it.

She loves the bunny too.  My house has a long hallway, so this morning we played a game of " Bunny Bowling".... I threw the bunny as far as I could and she was keen to retrieve it.  Here she is all tired out after playing.  Bunny looks tired too...

Yesterday I went to my local op shop just to get out of the house for a few minutes.  I found this large Christmas platter, a smaller glass platter with a fruit design, a bag of sparkly Christmas stuff, and a generous amount of barely used flannel fabric.

                                          I won't know how much there is until I wash it.

I recently learned how to make Greek yoghurt at home.  Greek yoghurt makes a lovely meal and also makes moist cakes.  It can be used either sweet or savoury.   Did you know it costs less than half the price to make it yourself?  You can also make it into "Quark", which is very much like cream cheese but with a slight tang.  Here is my yoghurt draining to make cream cheese for my stitcher's Christmas party.  I will add home grown garlic chives and fresh baguettes to the cheese for the  request "bring a plate".   I am making extra to bring to FNSI tonight.  See you there! xx debbie
