Luvly Jubbly in America

The kids love my quiche and the good thing is they eat it so it not sitting on my hips. The spinach and creamed cheese one is for Leon and me. Yummy

Its taken me a year to complete this table top. I still need to grout it. I have realised I am not doing much in the creative department so have made an effort to get my glass grinder out and make some more goodies. I always feel good when I do stuff with your hands.

Westport Animal Control
The Westport Animal Control is a no-kill shelter. The shelter is NOT associated with the Connecticut Humane Society, but is a division of the Westport Police Department and is town owned and run.The shelter is run by two Animal Control Officers, and volunteers who walk and socialize the dogs.

Kara and Victoria decided to buy some dog food for the dogs at the animal control shelter with some of their money they made from the cookie sale. Wow the rows and rows of dog food available in the pet store was quite overwhelming. They kids had great fun running up and down the aisles looking for the dog food which was suggested for us to buy.

I was talking to the Animal control officer about hurricane Irene and if they had any problems with dogs going missing. FEMA provides assistance after natural disaster Part of FEMA's agreement if relief is wanted they have to set up facilities for animals. So when families were evacuated from hurricane Irene they had 10 dogs at the local school. They learnt huge lessons from Hurricane Katrina.

What a fantastic experience for us all to do something fantastic. Both girls said they felt wonderful.

School is out again. The weather has been fantastic so decided to take a walk on the beach.

This weekend is a Jewish holiday - Yom Kippur, so I didn't have to work on Saturday. I was on a mission for us to get out and explore. So we headed up to Ellsworth farm in Sharon, Connecticut to pick apples and pumpkins.
