Summer Sunhats, Potato Salad, and Kids Being Kids

My friend Kathy C is still collecting Hats for Haiti.

Meg and Karen can work up a hat in about an hour or less. 

Aren't the color ways cute?  

 I will give you my best potato salad recipe:

*Boiled small red potatoes

*Real Hormel Bacon bits

*chives

*Hidden valley ranch dressing

mix it all up and chill before serving. 

that's it  !  That's easy!  

A few friends from work and their daughters came for a barbecue last night.  The girls thought Beatles' tunnel was so fun to crawl through….

so I let them.  

Pie hid in the basement throughout the party.

Tank was cornered under the couch until Fireman rescued him and let him join Pie in the basement. Tank was literally shaking ….

(the four kids were pretty wild in the house, just being kids, but the cats are not used to it) 

Pie is sensitive to new people, their smells, their sounds etc. 

I think because she cannot see well at all, 

she hides.  Tank is just a super shy guy. 

Beatles, however,  was compliant and let the girls hold him.

Rozzy held court and got lots of attention. 

The girls really wanted to see the cats that were hiding, the most. (of course) 

I told them I'd send them a picture of Pie….

I promised the cats a quiet weekend.  

They deserve it and I'm pooped!
