Friendly Fill-Ins and Shopping Around the World

We're pawticipating in Friendly Fill-ins sponsored by McGuffy's Reader and 15 and Meowing.


1. I  would like to interview  Pope Benedict XVI.  Bill and I saw him when we went to Rome__.

2. I would like to be interviewed by _EEEK....I don' think I would like to be interviewed at ALL!_.

3. Halloween night was always fun because Bill would dress up in his horses head with his recording of a horse.  The kids loved it!      .
4. Once Halloween is over,   People seem to skip over Thanksgiving and go right to Christmas.      .

My human is tempted to give this a try... but she may have to reduce the recipe by quite a bit, since she is the only one who eats sweet things around here!

Great fill-ins. Mom was happy to hear that Target was going to slow down the Christmas race until Thanksgiving. It would be nice to see that happen.

We love pumpkin - the mousse sounds great.
