I love reading books where there are animals. I can't recall any right off. We have 2 English Black Labs. Love them to death. Best dogs to have around children.
My mom would make a fresh fruit salad during the holidays. She used red seedless grapes, naval oranges, bananas and a fresh pineapple that she would peel, core and cut up. I was always there to help her because I liked to eat the pineapple core whenever she cut up a fresh pineapple. If she couldn't find seedless grapes, we would use the seeded grapes and would cut them in half and take out the seeds. We would eat the fruit salad with her homemade fruit cake.
My mom would also make a fresh coconut cake. She would buy a fresh coconut. She would take a nail and hammer it into the coconut and drain the juice -saving the coconut juice for the cake batter. Then she would use the hammer to break open the coconut, peel the skin off and grate the coconut pieces into a bowl. She also used the 7-minute frosting recipe on the 10x sugar box.
I enjoy all types of books. I got very excited when we found books that my sister and I read as children that I can now pass down to my 4-year-old granddaughter. Thank you for the chance to enter the giveaway. Target Engaged looks like a great book!
How much our two English Black Labradors love our granddaughter. The dogs go into withdrawal when she's not around. They look for her to come in the front door when she's not at the house. When she does come, they go wild by running around the yard and circling around her and run some more. They lick her all over. She just giggles at them and loves every minute of it. While she is at the house, the dogs constantly follow her and don't leave her side.
