Orange Julius
By Lynn, on July 14th, 2008
Hannah over at Cultivating Home posted a recipe for Orange Julius. As I commented to Hannah at her beautiful blog, I had forgotten Orange Julius even existed! Ever had one? We made a blender full today and what a yummy treat!
I took my break on the porch with my cold drink and watched the one kitten we have left. Two of the kittens were given to good homes. I didn’t have much say really, as the original owner of Fluffy found homes for them and then asked if I would oblige.
It could be a delicate situation if we let it turn into one, but I have always respected the fact that Fluffy was originally her cat, but took up on my porch and decided to have her kittens there; and my neighbor has always respected the fact that it was my family who cared for the kittens and fed them. It was nice of her to ask before just coming and taking them, and it was nice of her to let Princess of the Universe say which two could leave.
We’re keeping Oreo.
Oreo stays close to Fluffy, learning new things to survive in a neighborhood with a lot of houses, children, and other cats.
Have a lovely Monday evening,
Lynn

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Hi Lynn,
I *love* orange julius drinks! Catherine used to make them and bring me a glass. I miss those – but not as much as I miss her.
Your garden photos and your love and knowledge of nature remind me of her too. You both appreciate so much of the beauty that God has placed in our lives. I’m so glad you share it!
I would love to talk to you sometime! Please call/email if you get the chance and we can catch up.
Love,
Leslie

Oh, Leslie, I know you miss Catherine. I can’t imagine how it must feel to look over at *her* house now. I am sure you two will always be friends though. Life gives us one season after another, doesn’t it and some are more comfortable than others.
I surely want to talk with you before school starts this year.
Lynn
