A special birthday party with friends, how nice. I love to see the happy faces and good humor.
I am actually thinking of making a lemon pie. I’ve got some leftover homemade pie dough in the freezer. All last summer, I had trouble finding really good lemons, so I never had my summer pie.
True story: I used to sell advertising to restaurants and on one visit to a pizza shop owner he told me how he started asking customers if they wanted their pizza cut into 8 or 10 pieces. Several responded: “No, just eight, I’m not hungry enough to eat ten.”
We’re on the cusp of a new year and I’m developing story lines for 2025. I got some great suggestions from readers last year (often, in your comments, but sometimes by request). What sort of stories involving the main characters (The Dog Family, Kate) might be interesting? The capybaras return in January, and Kate has some school work already written. Thank you!
Thank you for the suggestions, keep ’em coming! I broke through a logjam today and am pleased to say that there will be fun surprises in January! (always a tough month to write for)

So, Kate is a Christmas baby. There is a certain cosmic harmony about that.

Sugarbeest is the best place for a child’s birthday party. Gumdrop teeth on that beest?

Was really hoping this was a real chain. I like pie.

Happy Birthday, Kate!
I commend your choice of celebratory food; I have a good friend who always celebrates her birthday with Saskatoon berry pie.
