In lieu of Amazon

[susandennis]

It's fairly clear that Amazon's not going to bring me my new measuring cup today so I'm going to hold off on the ginger cookies.

But notdefined suggested I make some Scotish shortbread using this recipe. So I did. I cut the recipe in half. And I made a huge mess and then Biggie wanted to help. It wasn't pretty. I think I made them a hair too fat. And they are not pretty (so no pic) but they don't taste too bad.

In an effort to distract Biggie, I pulled the fish bed from above the fridge and put it on the floor. He was interested... Then I turned it so he could see out the window...



He's has no issues climbing but he does not seem real comfortable getting down from a high perch. A couple of times, he's stood on the edge and called for me to come get him. He can get down, he just isn't that thrilled about it.

Ooops the birds just called and he remembered his tree.



But now he's back in the fish bed. It isn't as disgusting as I thought it would be but it could use a good wash. I do need to move it over a bit and install a light in there so I can see him. But, for now, he's happy.

I have some leftover icing. I think I'll ice a few of the cookies and freeze a few. And put the baking things away and then I need to watch CBS Sunday Morning.

I bet it hurts his remodeled toes still when he jumps down from high places. That or he simply now prefers butler service. 50% of the time I'll hear yells from my guy because he can't quite judge getting into or out of the window as well as he used to and I must rush to his majesty's aid. The other 50% of the time it's usually a loud THUD of him jumping down with the delicate grace of a leaded bowling ball. Cats are something else.

I have several measuring cups, if I was there I'd just let you borrow mine.

Ah! It's easy to get up, but getting down, not so much.

He can survey his domain anywhere he pleases!
