An Evening at Sweetpea's (Sweet Pearockabilly), and I Got to Pet a Donkey!

No real cooking yesterday.  I marinated meat for fajitas, but Lou did all of the heavy lifting while trying to finish an awesome apron for Sweetpea - she was hosting a margarita-filled living room sale before she leaves for Vegas on Tuesday.  I took it to her house without pockets, but she loved it.  It's red with three inches of fringe - even the pockets are fringed!  When she gets back from VLV, it will be here for her. Along with another.

I traded her for a cute skirt that I brought, and a glam robe that she had.  Gorgeous.

Oh!  The donkey!  The church on my block had their Palm Sunday parade, filled with little kids and a live donkey!  Her name was Katy, she's 8 years old, and she let me scratch her behind the ears and kiss her forhead.  She was the sweetest donkey I've ever met.  And I'm from Texas, so I've met a lot of asses.

Shepherd's Pie is on the menu tonight, and I'll try to sneak in a few vegetables for my uncle, who doesn't like them.  Covert Cooking is one of my many talents.
