French Pickles and the Baguette

We have been in Florida at our daughter and son-in-law's with our Grandson. While here, we have kept busy cooking and learning what it means to be Mamie and Poppy. Because of being gone for a time, we left Stella with a friend who has a dog kennel. She is so good to Stella that she lets her sleep on her bed and hang out with her. But Pickles traveled with us because Mamie is lost without her little Pickles nearby.

One day while hanging out around their place, we had a baguette that didn't get used, and it hardened to the point of a petrified stick.  Pickles caught a glimpse of it, and begged Poppy for a piece.

Pickles thinks she has scored the snack of a life-time. Off she goes under the coffee table to see if she can destroy the baguette before anyone realizes that it is missing. This has been a great diversion because she keeps looking for Stella and wonders about the familiarity of her home and farm. She has truly been confused as to where she is and when we will we go home. Poppy and Mamie have been very proud of her. She truly has been on her best behavior.

Once Pickles knew that the baguette was all hers, she took it seriously....

Poppy wisely decided to break off a more manageable piece for her to handle. But there are three (yes, THREE!) cats that live there, and Pickles felt the need to make sure that they would not try to hone in on HER baguette...
So at first she tried to hide it in a corner ...

But then she thought better of it since it was all out in the open exposed to all sorts of prying eyes....

Then she thought it would be better hidden behind the door of the bedroom...

But no, you could still spot it pretty easily.

How about here on the bed, between the pillows?

Well, since Auntie Faith is napping here, she had better keep her eye on it!

We'll be home soon to post more adventures of Pickles and the farm. Can't wait to check on our garden and cook a meal from the familiarity of our beloved kitchen. So stay tuned....
