Booming Banter

It’s the parents wedding anniversary. They have been married FORTY years! That’s Ruby if you’re into stones and 280 Dog Years.

That’s an awful long time.

Since they wed they have lived in nine different homes over three continents have one son and have had five dogs, two still very much alive and five fish one surviving!

So what are they doing for this big day you may ask!

Travel? They have enough air miles waiting to be used up that would take them around the world twice but when you’ve travelled a lot the thing they like best is staying home.

Buy Gifts? They have jewelry enough to put an emperor to shame that is rarely worn and more books and art than many museums!!!

Plant? Yes Ma is going to spend the day digging and sowing seeds so when things pop up she’ll be able to say those were planted to mark a special day!

When we were putting our roses into their vase yesterday we got to thinking.

Where do these roses grow. Certainly not in any rose garden Ma has been to.

They have such gigantic stems the bush itself must be like a tree.

Now that we are studying gardening a little deeper we’d like to know have you ever in all your life come across a rose with a near two foot stem?

Maybe there is a farm somewhere specially for the purpose.

Help now or we will have to Google and the. For the next two years we’ll get a push on roses every day!

A very Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms out there! Did you know that yesterday was also a special day too if you happen to be like our Mom.

We’re making this a joint celebration! Jaws and I of course got together with the Bro and he arranged for lovely roses and chocs. We put them on the island in our kitchen so Ma sees them as soon as she gets up.

She has to get cracking early today as there is a BIG Brunch at the tearoom and she has to make special things so we won’t be trotting this morning.

I’m promised though that just ever as soon as she gets the dishes done she’ll squeeze us in since she’s not cooking tonight!

Hope y’all have fun!

Just when I thought we’d escaped the scent of that Lily of the Valley what do you know but something just as powerful has invaded my space.

This time it’s not delicate little blooms but great big pink fluff balls of flowers called peonies!

Ma is ecstatic because this is one of those things that has popped up unexpectedly in this ramshackled new yard of ours.

It goes to show she says that at sometime in the past someone loved and cared for this place just like we plan to do.

We’ve also discovered up against the back fence that there is an azalea bush. It’s also pink and is very scrawny but just as soon as it’s over blooming we’re going to give it a snip to help it get stronger.

We’ve also got some zebra grass to plant. Ma snagged it at a yard sale yesterday. She got literally a basin full of plants for $4 so you can’t be bad to that. We’re putting it in strategic empty spaces so it can spread including in a bed that bare apart from a fern and two little hostas.

At least it won’t smell!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend. We got ours off to a great start last evening by having our first BBQ of the year.

My Dad was in charge. He bought gigantic burgers and sausages and there was enough for a huge family but my hoomans managed to munch it all up.

It was a bit too much for Grandpa so he shared with me and the stinking Gizzard.

It’s a pity poor Kong can’t eat food like us. It amazes me that he gets by on those little floating flakes.

Kong is so kind he doesn’t seem to be fuzzy he just enjoys watching me crunch and chew. Says anything that makes me happy is all he needs to feel full!!

We are so happy together and hope that just a little bit of our love will rub off on you dear followers.

Be like us and ignore any stinkers in your vicinity. With any luck they may choke on a chip!

Talk soon!

Sometimes I wake up feeling wicked. Take this morning.

Ma is always looking for ideas for kids parties and she takes lots of pics of them from facebook. She’s full of good intentions but when it comes to the bit she never does make them.

That’s no problem though as it means less stress for her but it gives me a giggle.

Take this that she came across just now as an example. Strawberries cut up to look like KONG.

Just as soon as I’ve finished this message I’m heading to the kitchen to show him and explain that these are edible!

Imagine if he was so shocked he fainted and croaked. JAWS would be broken hearted and might die too and then I’d me free to be just me!

I’d be so happy
