Kittywalk and Other Stuff

The cats new toy got here on Saturday. It is very nice. The only thing I'd say that is misrepresented is how long it takes to set up. The directions said ten minutes for each section. We had three sections, it did not take us 30 minutes. It might take us 30 minutes the second time, but it definitely took significantly longer the first time!

I explained to both of the kitties, that this was for their fun and they did enjoy their first session. They ran around and climbed into the hammocks and chased dragonflies and birds. Well, as far as they could anyway. What they don't know is that now when they go crazy chasing each other, I have somewhere to put them so they don't drive me nuts!

Here is what we got for them: Kittywalk Grand Prix-

We have the nicest family across the street from us. They have four adorable children. They took them blueberry picking last weekend and they brought us over some berries when they got home. Of course all of them were so excited about it and told they all told us all about it all at the same time! I've been thinking about making some cookies to take over to them. Baking cookies in my small oven is not an easy feat, but then I remembered no bake cookies, my kids loved them when they were growing up at home. That solves the problem of a little oven and they are good.

Here is the recipe in case you'd like to make them too.

No Bake Cookies

½ cup milk
½ cup peanut butter
1/3 – ½ cup cocoa or 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
½ cup butter
3 cups regular oatmeal

Mix milk, sugar, cocoa and butter; bring to a rolling boil. Add oatmeal while boiling, stirring constantly. When oats are just stirred in, remove from heat (Do not cook the oats too long). Add peanut butter; stir well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Yield: 48 cookies.
