17 Days

Janet received her new oven range on 02 November and it was hooked up by about 6PM.  The next day, we started in a frenzy panic baking for the SPCA bake sale.  We creamed, stirred, beat, separated eggs and way, way more!  Actually, Janet did all of it while Noodles lay at her feet, hoping for some fall out.  One of the major problems with the new dishwasher is that it has two handles that stick out, so now all of her cooking drops on the handles instead of the floor.  Noodles does not like the new dishwasher.
Here is what we did:

17 days = 35 cake loaves, 25 bags of cookies and 81 jars of preserves.  OK, OK..some of the preserves were jam that we made in the summer, but we made tons of applesauce, curry apple chutney and more.

It has been storming here like crazy.  High winds and lots of rain.  We don't like it, but Janet says because we weren't crate trained, we can't move to Hawaii.  Bummer!  We wonder if it's too late to be crate trained and learn how to go on an aircraft.  I think I'm kind of OK, but Noodles can barely cope with a car ride.  I'm not seeing Aloha or eating Spam in our future.

We think this guy should have paid moorage fees at the Marina.  This happens a few times through the winter season.  Lots of people anchor their boats in the bay, as you can see in the background, and when a storm hits, they are subject to being tossed around.

The boat above was on our way home.  We were soaked.  Noodles hates having her head wet, so she tries to wipe it off on the towels.

Noodles is wearing her "pirate eye" on the left hand side.    Speaking of which, do you know how much a pirate pays to have his ears pierced?  A buck an ear!!

She does, however, like to lick the water off my back.

A last minute addition to the SPCA Bake Sale, Janet made 12 jars of red pepper jelly.  Yes!  Now we have 93 jars of preserves.  We are saving the world, one doggie at at time!  We are lucky that we live in a nice home and want to make sure all the doggies, kitties, bunnies, etc at the SPCA also find nice homes.  We think they will!
