Road Trippin'

Good Monday to all of my working blokes. I am having a jolly good time laying here at Steph's house enjoying the sunny day with some of my mates! I hear the weather is supposed to get nasty so better enjoy the day while you can!
Last week Steph, Tasha, Jodi, Ringo, and I went on a little road trip to take some fall pictures. I thought I would share our experience with you a little bit.

When we first started the road trip, Steph made the comment that all roads lead to Clark when you are road tripping on back roads. I thought she was barmy!

I think someone is lost...maybe I should take over the wheel? Where will we end up at?


Blimey! Would you look at that!

Sometimes the country smells ghastly!!

When Jodi wasn't looking a nicked a couple of her apples and caramel!

I have a ton of nature pictures but not on my computer yet. Once they are maybe I will share a few of them with you, I'll have to think about it. This week Jodi and Ringo are coming over. I'm not too sure if Tasha is or not, but she better!

Have a great evening.

Cheerio!

Happy Two Years!

Wow, it has been a whole two years since you have been honored with my presence. Can you believe it? We have had a lot of fun: traveling to different places, hiking, making new friends, cooking great food, celebrating Twlight nights. We have also been through some atrocious moments: I went to WORK (never again), I BABYSAT, spent over a week in a dark drawer...But our fun has only just begun!

Recently Steph, Tasha, Jodi, Ringo, and I made some simple and scrumptious treats. Which reminds me, if you have not tried Nutella, I suggest you immediately (after you are done reading this post) go to your local grocery store and buy yourself some. The large jar. You will need it.

The first thing we made were "Acorns" using donut holes, pretzels, brown sprinkles, and of course, Nutella.

Ringo tried sneaking a bite before we started but I caught him!


We found it easiest to seperate each item like this. You just dip the one end of the donut hole into the Nutella, cover that in sprinkles, stick a preztel in the same end...


And voila! You get little acorns! We covered a few in colorful sprinkles since someone didn't realize they didn't have enough brown (Steph...)

Next, we made Candy Corn Parfaits. Right here is everything you need, except for the Reddi Wip...someone forgot that until everyone else was done with theirs (Steph)

Cocoa Puffs, candy corns, chocolate, and french vanilla pudding

Little word of advice...be easy on the candy corn...those are sickening sweet in the treat...which is, of course, okay with me. Some people can't handle it though (Jodi)

Hopefully next week we will get to try other kinds of tasty treats to share will all of you. And like I said in my last post, I have been so busy since fall began. I keep falling behind on my posts, but not to worry! Winter (gag) is just around the corner and I will have all the time in the world to post about my cold, blithering days. Is anyone else dreading this impending doom that is about to bestow upon us?

I better get outside and enjoy this weather while it lasts! You should do the same, it's quite lovely outside today.

Tata, Pinky

Happy Two Year Anniversary!!

2 Year Anniversary and Recent Animal Farm Trip

Can you believe it? In just 3 days will be the 2 year anniversary of this blog! It astounds me! I realized I am most behind on blogging. Sorry chaps, it's just been so blimey busy. And right now is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love fall. The only terrible thing is that it leads into winter. Dismal, dreary winter.

I'll treat you with some pictures of a recent trip Charlie and I took to the animal farm down below Steph's house.

First of all, Jodi insisted on wrapping me up in her sweatshirt. She said she wanted to keep me warm. But I know she's just worried that people will be scared of me. Something about "Panther" being in my name seems to instill fear in people. People don't understand, she says. I'm harmless, folks.

First of all, this sign slightly disturbed me. What kind of warning is it giving? I CAN'T READ IT. IT'S NOT LEGIBLE!

Here they are running up to greet us.

I wonder. Are they envious of my freedom?

I thought I'd just stand on the edge of the gate.

And Steph thought it would be fun to dangle me over it. It was a bit frenzied for a minute. I was not amused.
This bloke was the friendliest one. but also a little attention greedy.


See what I mean?

Charlie decided to join after a bit. He was a little nervous at first. He thought he looked too much like them. He was afraid we'd leave him behind. After assuring him that there would be no such confusion, he really quite enjoyed himself.


The little ones took a liking to him. A certain kinship, I suppose.
I just wanted to try the oats they were feeding them. They were not tasty.


Steph thought she had to pet me on the Petting Area sign. Ha.And then it was time to go. Just a little smootch goodbye.
And another one.

That was a splendid time. I will definitely go back. I am thrilled to say that Jodi and Tasha are coming over here to Steph's tonight. I believe we are going to drive around and look at leaves, and enjoy some fresh cider and apples with caramel. Now doesn't that sound like an absolute delight?



Happy Fall to All!
