I had to make a pineapple cream pie this evening. I had all the fixings and it will be ready for my middle son and grandson’s arrival tomorrow sometime. Probably late. ( tried to tempt my youngest into coming over tomorrow but he resisted as he is not particularly into anything pineapple. I didn’t know that). They, my son and grandson, are moving into their new home these past several days and the only utility they have right now is electricity. Tomorrow will be a waiting game for gas and phone service. He’s dead in the water without internet as he has a DSL line. They will be unable to leave for here until that is done. At least he’ll be able to nag as he isn’t working.
I would love to include a picture of his home..it is lovely, but I can’t. The only one I have has the address and all the particulars on it (website from the Real Estate people) and that would be quite a violation of his privacy. I think he’d be irritated at me.
.
The temps will be 14 or 16 tonight. And today is the first day without unseasonable warm weather along with rain and fog, in two weeks. There was sun all day. I almost felt giddy seeing it. I ran around getting the house cleaned and then to the grocery..Oh MY! That was quite a bill and worth every cent. I am preparing for their 5 day visit or perhaps 6. Our dessert on Christmas will be a big ol’ thick very well iced carrot cake and a pumpkin pie. We’ll have the turkey and dressing of course and multiple veggies.
While in the grocery store I found and brought home a decent sized box for Her Highness the Queen (of my heart). Many times they won’t allow a box to leave the store..they feel compelled to break them all down for recycle etc. But I asked nicely if I could bring this small one home for my cat to play in. She LOVED it..or I will put that in the present tense. Loves it. The only embarrassment she has suffered would be while dashing back and forth between her bag (she IS a bag lady too) (shopping bag) she made a mad run for her new box which, coincidentally, has a rectangular sized hole cut in on both sides for hand grips, and made to toss her ample self through that opening..little taking into consideration it was 6 inches by 2 inches in size. BONK! She ran pell mell into the side of the box. She looked at me like.."I was just testing it out. I knew that!" and walked sedately into the front open area..which of course was what she meant ALLLLL along. (yeah)
Have a peaceful night.

I think that sounds great, I don\’t think I\’ve ever had a pineapple cream pie! I bet you have a great time with your family and I certainly wish you all a very merry Christmas!
Girl you know how to get someone\’s attention don\’t you. SLUURP on the pineapple cream pie! That\’s something I don\’t get to indulge in around here as my hubby and kids detest pineapple. (what\’s wrong with them???)Pass some this way! Congrats to you son on the new house!
I love to read about Miss Catt\’s adventures. What a treat she is!Will you make the desserts yourself or get from a bakery. I love Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting. When you buy the huge one at Sam\’s Club they are decorated so cute with carrots made of frosting on the top. I am not fond of pumpkin pie but my kids do love it. So I will have that too, not sure what else but it will be buffet style. I already have my spiral sliced ham and I am thinking potato salad too.
Miss Catt\’s little faux pas reminded me of a George Carlin bit concerning a cat running into a room and sliding and on the wood floor, smashing into the wall then regaining their composure and walking behind the couch and saying, "F*****g meow!"Save me a slice of that carrot cake.
Pineapple cream pie? Cat playing in the box for entertainment? Okay as soon as I find a fork or well a big spoon, I\’ll be over! I\’ll turn the knob this time!
I have never even heard of pineapple cream pie so you must send me a piece. I sure hope miss catt\’s adventure doesn\’t end up on bloopers and prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcatical jokes! How embarrasing for a president lol. Have fun with your boys. huggsDanielle
Yum the pineapple cream pie would suit me just fine. Funny that you mention your youngest isn\’t much into pineapple. Neither is my son. For years (when he was still living at home) we used to order our favorite Pizzas…ham and pineapple or the Vegetarian one (with pineapples on it). Our son never, ever told us he did not like pineapple and we never noticed him removing the pineapple pieces from the Pizza and slyly putting them on our pieces when we weren\’t looking. Just found out a few weeks ago when his wife told us that Mark does not like pineapple. No idea why he never told me…..he always seemed to eat everything I put in front of him.Our cats are having a wonderful time trying to help us wrap Christmas gifts. Midnight snatches the bows and hides them and Simba loves to sit on the paper when we lay it out ready to put our gift on it and wrap. I even gave her her own roll of wrapping paper but Nope…not as much fun as helping us wrap. So my family will just have to accept wrapped gifts with the occasional cat hair stuck to it. LOLCarole….I just want to wish you, yours sons, your grandson, and Miss Catt a wonderful Christmas.May you be blessed.*Hugs*Karin
That pineapple pie sounds great, don\’t think I\’ve ever had one. matter of fact I know I haven\’t. We usually have lemon, potato, choc, and a few othere – but not pineapple. I hope you and the boys have a good time tomorrow, I know you will though. All it takes to have a good time with the kids is to be in their presence, right?I see \’Missy\’ is up to her usual antics, wish I could have seen her in the act of that one.
LOL Cat\’s think they are so graceful and most of the time are but we whom are owned by them get to see the klutzy side too!
I never had a pineapple cream pie. I love pineapple so I\’m sure I\’d have a piece if you have any left over, lol.I wish I could have seen Her Highness, cats are so interesting & comical to watch when they get playful. Ayla has picked up the habit of snatching things off plates with her paw. Last night she captured a clemetine and was batting it around \’til she lost it under the couch!Have a great Monday.Hugs, Faye
I just gained 5 pounds reading your blog and the doc said take off weight.. Pineapple Cream pie sounds delicous but I don\’t think I\’ve ever heard of it. Madam President was just checking out the security features of her new box. She must do it herself to make sure it\’s right. Hugs, Terry
Sounds like your having a Blast.. Gotta love the Cats , they love us no matter what.Mine loves bags .Merry Christmas.
I have never had pineapple cream pie either. In fact this is the first I\’ve heard of it but it sounds delish.Her highness was most assuredly just testing the small openings on the box. :0) I can just see the look on her face *smiling*.Have a good day Carole.HugsSherry
Cats are so funny when they do something goofie… they act like they meant to do it all along. Have a wonderful and peaceful time with your family. Love, Dr. Marilyn tee hee
I spent a half hpir amusing Spot yesterday with a bit of ribbon. Gabby, aka. Fat Cat, didn\’t want to play. I certain;y miss Sweetpea, this was her favorite time of year. I put up the ugly Campbell Soup ornament that she loved so much anyway.Love ya,Al
It sounds like some really good food will be consumed at your place. You know, if by chance you have any left over, not saying you would, but if you did ad it happened to make its way to this part of the US AND did not have an owner, I would be willing to adopt said food. 🙂
Can I come to your house?? Save me a piece of that pie. I hope your visitis a great one. Family is always important.HugsDarla
Does Pineapple Cream pie have chunks of pineapple in it or is it mostly pureed?
Girl?? It\’s COLD there!! We had a storm today with two due Wednesday and Thursday! Ans as you know, they will head your way!! Cold ones too!As for Burt?? MIA!! But I\’m sure he is fine. Just alot of places to hide!! He\’s a pretty smart tortoise… usually!!. I\’ll keep you posted!!Pineapple cream pie sounds awesome!!!! Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!Bob~
all that food talk..drooool…and Yaaay! for the box-the best gift she could get!
I\’m still grinning at your description of Miss Catt and her box episode…I know that look on her face quite well with my own furry crew…lol. Have a wonderful time with your guys. My mouth was close to watering on your Christmas dessert menu and the pineapple cream pie…drool, drool.
That pie sounds great! Cats are so fun. My mom\’s cat adoed my address book. I\’m not sure why. But she would sit on it, claw on it try to sleep on it. It was just about as big as her butt so it was a lot of fun watching her try to lay down on it!
These cats sure entertain us and they\’re such a joy. hugs
Pineapple cream pie? Never heard of it but it sure sounds delicious… and fattening.Miss Catt and her box would have made a great video too!Maybe its time to make her into a movie star?
Cats never own up to mistakes! It\’s beneath them. But they are fun to watch and especially to catch in some compromising situation! Enjoy the holidays!
