Mr Cooper's year in review

Merry Christmas from Mr Cooper

Soon Santa will be dead and Christmas will be over.

Thankful

Thanksgiving prep is well on its way. Turkey in the smoker, pumpkin pies in oven, apple pie waiting in fridge.

Halloween 2013

Palm Springs beauty queens!

Happy Halloween!

The girls are OUT tonight!

Autumn harvest

This picture is corny. 

Twenty-four years

Happy 24th Anniversary to us! Here we are 24 years ago when we first met and fell in love. See, I can still pass for 29.

And... we're back.

Finally back in Palm Springs, settling back into our groove. And by groove, I mean "OH MY GOD I NEED COFFEE!"

The devil made him do it

Mr Cooper is not a fan of rainy days trapped indoors.

The perfect pear/pair

A very special thank you to our friends Richard and Christine who had us over for dinner on Monday and made the most beautiful (AND tasty!) pear tart.

Give a hoot

Went for a walk in the woods yesterday and well, I'm a guy, and I needed to pee. I stepped off the trail to take of the situation. Midway through, I felt like I was being watched. I looked up and saw this guy. Very thankful it wasn't a bear.

He's learning...

Caught "red pawed".

A bad sign

It's time to head south.

4 Layer Coconut Cake

4 layer coconut cake, recipe from Bobby Flay. Totally low calorie... except for the 2.5 lbs of butter.

Blueberry pie

Homemade blueberry pie / tarte aux myrtille. In Canada, my pie is bilingual.

Jammin'

Raspberry/rhubarb jam today. 20 jars. (Also 14 jars of blueberry jam, after the pickles.)

It's Pickle Day!

Thanks!

Thanks Calgary, we'll be back!

You put you right foot in, you put your right foot out... That's what it's all about!
