Sherab 2,337 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) We had a micro gathering of AIDs this week end in Sanford Michigan. Left to Right Waki, Lili, Kona, Cake and Waka. All is quiet at the house and barn. The critters have returned. 2 little indian dogs and a GSD sniff about wondering where everyone went. Over the week end the air was thick with tufts of fur, barks and flying blurry bodies. The German Shepherd was packed off to the kennel where he pretended he was almost too weak to walk then gradually increased his speed "until his handler was running to catch him". Meanwhile back at the ranch Lili and Kona arrived with Chris and Julie on Friday eve. Which one is Lili? Which one is Waki, can't tell, seems like there are 2 duplicates in the house. The "Yukon" dogs with their short coats, baby pudge (ok we know where Waki gets it - he self feeds but Lili eats nothing), silly rolls and weaponized bottoms and the "unicorn" dogs with their long legs, silly sounds and dancy moves paired off and tag teamed each other. Two little dogs were up the next day at the crack of dawn trying to get the cousin and sister to wake up by standing in the front window, making faces. Little did they know a 5th dog was on the way. ho ho ho. Waka burst onto the scene with her puppy energy. She's a beauty and the baby of the group. She and Kona became inseparable. Forrest brought the "Tardis" which is magic and has anything you might need. It looks like a tiny tear drop camper but it's really a veritable Swiss army knife. Cooler for the beer - check. The right charger for a particular phone - check. Tools to prevent houses from burning down due to plugging in airstream electrical into 1960's vintage electrical out let then finding out the outlet is on the same circuit as the microwave - check. Our conversation: Karen: I think I'd like to go punting on the Nile. Forrest: Oh well I have a magic carpet and a punt pole in my camper Chris and Julie: Just give Karen another beer from the cooler. Chris brought a telescope. We looked at the moon, which is made of cheese and some of us saw Jupiter while others saw a giant rain cloud. It was a hot day, thankfully and eventually, well into the evening the pups tired themselves out. Did I mention we had home made pie? Julie made pie. I didn't get a picture. That would have been asking me to look at the pie too much. We have plans for the week end of September 9. It's also Chris's birthday. Julie is making cheese cake and said if we can get more indian dogs (like Judy and Larry) she'd make pie. Just putting that out there. Pie and AIDs.

NyteByker 535 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Don't tempt me... it's only about a 13 hour drive. Lol. That's a long way to drive for pie though. That's a nice looking barn! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carolyn 454 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Sigh...... I wonder if we'll get pie at our gathering ... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Allison 2,369 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Sherab, are you under the dog in that photo? I wouldn't be surprised. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherab 2,337 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Allison, no Shiva just manages to make all his beds lumpy. For a dog with limited mobility he can really make his bed disheveled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 That's funny. That is another nickname for our dog, "Lumpy". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinatola 927 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Don't tempt me... it's only about a 13 hour drive. Lol. That's a long way to drive for pie though. Well, not to throw a wrench in things....the next trip in September will be Cheesecake. Soft, creamy, perfectly balanced, light, fluffy, rich & decadent in the extreme. Based on my experience with Julie's execution of her grandmothers cheesecake recipe I would drive to the most remote part of the Yukon Territory in a go cart in the rain and camp for a month without the benefit of survival gear & then go volunteer to remove radioactive waste from the Fukishima plant with only a teaspoon & a roll of Bounty paper towels to have an entire cheesecake to myself. That's just me though...the biggest problem I face is having to share it. We are so totally looking forward to getting these five dogs together again in September. They had a blast....

Denise E. 1,485 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 bring the cheesecake to Florida ..... (put it in a gluten-free crust) ..... you are get-ting s-le-e-e-e-p-y ...... (probably just ate too much cheesecake and pie!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinatola 927 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Sorry, the decadence will suffer exponentially if we fail to use full Glutenism in the recipe. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denise E. 1,485 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 If we ever have a micro gathering in Florida ... we will have Key Lime Pie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinatola 927 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I love Key Lime Pie. It's not Julie's Cheesecake but it's pretty good.... ;-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
