How cute is that?????

Jazzy loves Scooter. They're best buds - at least for the moment!!!


Unfortunately, for this picture below, which is the cutest of them all, I was fiddling with the flash & messed up the lighting. And naturally, I could not get them to pose this way again.


I call this picture "peanut butter & marshmellow." That used to be one of my favorite sandwiches growing up (along with cream cheese & olive) - YUM!.


On the knitting front, I am working away on Kuba. It's a slow knit, using fingering weight yarn & size 3 needles.
