Easy Tuesday

I just discovered a new (to me) meme hosted by Renae of "Simple Sequins" and her sister Mary of "merrydotdandy."  The meme is called Easy Tuesday and premiss is simple.  To do a easy post each Tuesday.  This week I am featuring items that spell out the word E-A-S-Y.  

         E is for energy, A is for Animal, S is for sassy and Y is for yummy!

What has more energy then a group of children at play.  This shot was taken at our family gathering on New Year's Day 2012.  It features a few of the children in my family enjoying the sunny and moderately warm (for us) winter day.

 I captured this adorable boxer sharing his human's fun yellow convertible, on one of the first days of school.  I was waiting in the carpool lane to pick up my sister's exchange student.

My dictionary tells me that something sassy is lively, bold and full of spirit.  I think this adorable little cow I found decorating a yard here in town is all that. She certainly invited me in to share her bench.

Home-baked version of the original St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

Like many a delicacy -- fudge, brownies and chocolate chip cookies among them --the gooey butter cake was created by accident. Sometime in the 1930s, legend has it, a German baker in St. Louis inadvertently put too much sugar into his cake batter, and was too thrifty to waste it, so he baked it anyway.

The glutinous result was a hit and today there's hardly a bakery in St. Louis or the surrounding region that doesn't offer a version of this happy accident.
