We've had a very busy weekend. First off, we made more yams for Sam. He just adores these treats, and we are very happy to keep providing them for him. They taste good too! Sam has been rather upset to see his Mom snacking out of his bag of treats! We would like to thank our good friends Charlie and Sugar for supplying these recipes!
Here is Sam waiting for the yams to be done. He couldn't believe it when we told him they would have to stay in the oven for almost ten hours. He decided to watch the clock to make sure we don't forget them!
Monday was my birthday, so Sam, Aaron and I headed out to the Gilbert Riparian Institute to take a walk and watch the ducks. We had a wonderful day!
Sam really enjoyed himself. Here he is checking one of the decorative walls.
Many different varieties of ducks call the preserve home. We are wondering what this one is...
Sam found the water rather relaxing. He meditated for a long time in this spot. I wonder what he is thinking?
We are trying to get our internet up as quickly as we can! We miss visiting all of our friends and try to look at as many blogs as possible when it is up. Please be patient a little longer!
Sam looks quite sporty with that watch on. We wonder what he was thinking about too, probably how much he misses Cisco. Hope you can solve your internet problems.

I love your watch! I am going to ask Beth to get me one! Nothing worse than when our internet isn't working....
ReplyDeleteSam is thinking, what will happen to me if I jump in the water after those ducks?
ReplyDeleteTrust me - I've seen that look before :)
He is thinking: splash, chase ducks, sniff some more.....YAM treats mmmmmmmmmmm.

We fight internet problems all of the time. WE live too far out for cable or DSL, and we tried satellite for a while. We are now just using Verizon laptop cards.

Sam you are sooooooooooo cute with your watch! I hope your Yam treats were wonderful. I love them too and whenever my Mom makes a sweet potato for herself I believe it should be for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sam was meditating by the river we think he was wondering if his snacks were ready to come out of the oven yet☺
ReplyDeleteHi Sam, you've got a great blog! Thanks for coming to visit me. I think that bird is an American Coot.
