Here are a few of my cups in the cup cupboard. And of course a few bunnies hopped in for the shots...
These little Beatrix Potters were bought in England and the Mama duck always reminds me of my 'Odd Little Duck' story...
These little buggers I made when my kids were small...
This is my favorite David Winter piece. I think it's called, "Looking for George".

| Chocolate Pecan Espresso Cinnamon Scones
It's Sunday morning and I made scones for breakfast. I always *tweak* my scone recipes and this time I added brown sugar, espresso powder and cinnamon to the chocolate and pecans (also extra vanilla). They are yummy!
Yesterday we celebrated my youngest grandson's 6th birthday. We went to a place called The Main Event and we all bowled. I haven't bowled in years.... and believe it or not, I did pretty well. We bowled, ate, drank, and passed Aoife (4 month old grand daughter) around. I think she rather liked all the activity. Didn't fuss at all. Then we came home and had pizza and a soccer decorated cupcake birthday cake! Later that evening I made hamburgers and youngest grandson honored me with a ("these are good!"). He is not a big eater... except maybe for pizza and corny dogs.
So... the weekend is progressing well. The weather here is cold (39) and sunny... a bit cold for my taste, but at least the sun is out. I hope to get a chicken pot pie made for this evening and my computer room cleaned up before tomorrow. I had to take home all my clay tiles (for the chess board) to sand them down and let them dry during spring break. This last week was Spring Break for us.
Oh, BTW, I got to go to the DMA (Dallas Museum of Art) this past Thursday. We also visited the Nasher Sculpture Garden. My friend who is an Art Major took me. I think she and our Instructor decided that I need some Art Appreciation Instruction. All my art is 'self learned'... since I was in the Sciences in college. So, outside of the fact that I enjoy creating in the art field, I have no 'formal knowledge' of it. It was 'interesting'. The exhibit was *Chagall* and I will admit that I had a hard time 'appreciating' it... but the outing was fun.
