In a post last week, I gave you Muriel’s Mom’s Pumpkin Bread Recipe  and I boldly stated I was going to make it that night. Actually, that didn’t happen. I didn’t get it made until today!

I always keep my camera near and on the spur of the moment while starting the bread,  I took this picture.   Here is what the kitchen counter looks like for someone with the attention span of a gnat.     I started getting the ingredients out for the pumpkin bread.  See the canned pumpkin, the flour and some baking powder?  Apparently, I also started unloading the dishwasher while starting to make the bread.  I opened a can of paint to paint on the kitchen foyer, and I was watering a plant.   I see a Mason jar which has white vinegar in it, and I recall using that for cleaning.    I was doing all of these things at the same time.   And…I was taking pictures.   Yikes…please get me on medication!!

Actually, I like doing a lot of things at once.  It works for me.  A few hours later, I was looking at these babies…two little pumpkin breads to take to my neighbor tomorrow morning.  There was a third one but it’s not currently wrapped in a bow!  We’re eating it!

 

That pumpkin bread was easy to make and the batter was so light and fluffy.    I was licking the spoon the whole time I was working with the batter.

I didn’t do too well getting the batter in the pan.  Still, it was delicous when I got it out of the pan!  There are bloggers who focus on how to photograph food.  I haven’t got to read their stuff yet.  I just snap pictures and hope for the best. 

So…I had a paint can on the cabinet as I was touching up the walls on the small foyer area off our kitchen.  I really like this area of the house.  Lisa Snead of Bristol came out a few years ago and painted  some lyrics of one of my favorite songs near the ceiling.  It’s “Keep on The Sunny Side.”  This song reflects how I want to live my life.   It’s also a Carter Family song.  I love it. 

Here’s some not so great picture angles…

Keep on the sunny side of life…always on the sunny side…Keep on the sunny side…it will help us every day…

It will brighten all our way if we keep on the sunny side of life..

It continues on saying…

Let us greet with a song of hope each day though the moment be cloudy or fair..

Let us trust in our Savior…Keep on the sunny side of life.

Also in this foyer is a little whimsey…I like this black cat…she’s after something!

Here’s what she’s after…Mr. Mouse will always be just out of reach!

And when everyone else was in their rooster phase about ten years ago…I joined them..

And I’m still there.   I like my roosters, and in my house, they still are working…still crowing!  I don’t have too many…just a few. 

And then there is this guy…He was so sick last week, but he’s fine now.  He still hates everything.

 Sam the Cat really hates this pink cat carrier.  So girly!
