“Robert and … #38”

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.

Robert and … his foot with three cats.

See them?

Well, you may have to squint a bit for the third.

Benny: “Neal, you do realize there’s really only one cat, right?”

“The Artful Dodger“ #20

A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.

One of my Father’s Day gifts this year was a beautiful box of nuts and dried fruit.

I made a yummy trail mix out of the nuts and some of the chopped-up dried fruit. (OK, maybe with one bag of plain M&Ms thrown in for good measure.)

And then, this morning for breakfast, Robert had bought some fresh cantaloupe. When I saw it on my saucer, I realized it was frowning at me, but his face was sadly incomplete.

Dried fruit to the rescue. Two dried plums and a beautiful, sweet green kiwi for the nose.

Happy breakfast for all!
