STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE...BABY I'M YOURS!

For those of us who have pets, I suppose we never tire of taking their photo. The same as your children and grandchildren, right? We cannot deny how much we enjoy talking to them as they unknowingly pose for the camera. Truth be known, they are just being natural, which most often makes for the best photo op! I guess we all know by now, how much I adore this precious kitty, A.K.A. Mae.....Maypole, MaeMae, Me'Me', Mae Mo, Miss Mae, Mae Mobley, beautiful Be'Be'.....the most beautiful girl in the world...I know....what can I say?

One of her favorite games.....being teased by Papa on the stairway!

 

 

On patrol....early morning coffee hour

 

Time for her favorite blanket....her blue bear in tow

Uh-oh...ears in that position indicate she is a tad bit annoyed.....

napping was on her mind, not posing

Every gorgeous feline realizes one must always touch up their face

 prior to their photo shoot!

Such a Diva.....I am assuming this means the photo shoot is over!

Total Sweetness!

Now sugar babes.......if you are set to entertain this weekend.....this will make you the "hostest with the mostest"......we had the Scotsman to dinner and both he and Darling actually swooned.......don't you love that? When the men in your life swoon....well, even it is over a piece of pie!

Work from the outside edge and work your way toward the middle.    Melt 3 more tablespoons of white chocolate and heavy cream in the microwave. Make sure to only heat them for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each cooking interval. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the berries.
