Well, thanks to some help from Mountain Mama Jessica, I've figured out where Mila's Grammy Game came from. After reading my blog yesterday, Jessie sent me this clip from Bluey.
That is exactly how Mila was talking as she and Lukie played! And I even had a Grammy Mobile kind of like the one in the video clip. (And it's still clicking. How do I fix that??)
Anyway, thanks, Jessica!
Moving on to the upcoming Horsie Mama's Horsey Super Bowl II, here is the final list of books that I pulled questions from:
Sleigh Bells for Windy Foot - Frances Frost
Misty of Chincoteague - Marguerite Henry
Black Beauty - Anna Sewell
a Sam Savitt question
The Black Stallion - Walter Farley
National Velvet - Enid Bagnold
Brighty - Marguerite Henry
Stormy, Misty’s Foal - Marguerite Henry
The Eighty Dollar Champion - Elizabeth Letts
A Pony for the Winter - Helen Kay
Flip the Story of a Horse - Wesley Dennis
Born to Trot - Marguerite Henry
It took me two days of browsing through those books (and doing a little reading of some old favorites while I was at it) but I have finished the quiz questions. There are fifteen of them, twelve of which are multiple choice and three which are short answer.
While I may tweak these questions just a bit, I do not plan to write any more. (Hint: Some of these books have been written about in the blog. Just sayin'...)
Another prize arrived yesterday. Judging by the spine of the book, I don't think anyone has ever actually read it. I carefully peeked at a few pages but decided to let whoever wins it be the first reader. (It was published in 1964 so this volume is 61 years old!)
For football's Super Bowl LIX, many people are preparing to gather with friends and family and FOOD is a big part of those gatherings. Our family is no exception and last year I shared recipes for Carmen's Taco Dip and my own Toffee Bars. I'm sharing a few recipes again this year.
Jessica has made this delicious appetizer for holiday gatherings in the past. It does not last long around here! Give it a try!
Fresh Cranberry Salsa Dip
Ready to be eaten at the Isenbarger family Thanksgiving, 2023. Doesn't it look yummy?
Jessie got the recipe from Our Best Bites. Click the link for the recipe, and if you make it, I'd love to hear what you think of it!
Kansas City and Philadelphia are the contenders in Super Bowl LIX. Any guesses as to who I might be rooting for? (Besides the Clydesdales? LOL)
I'm not really a football fan, although I do enjoy our Friday Night Lights in the fall. But I actually do care about who wins this year.
George Karlaftis, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a home town boy and attended West Lafayette High School, Craig's alma mater. We watched George play football during our Friday Night Lights for four years. He then played here for Purdue before going into the NFL. He is a humble, nice kid.
So, go, Kansas City!
More tomorrow on HMHSB II and other things - stay 'tooned!
