Booming Banter

Auntie Lori is coming up to hang out with us at the pool today.

Well that was the original plan.

I guess we’ll just have to hope the forecast is faulty.

I do feel sorry for Jaws she was shaking most of yesterday and all of last night.

I have to hurry now so my secretary can let the PETRIFIED PITTY out before the thunder starts again or there might be a flash flood indoors.

Blessing#2855-Cucumber Conditions

Do you remember back in spring we got free seeds from the local public library and planted them?

Well some grew and some didn’t sorta like that story that Jesus told.

Ones that did survive include cucumber plants. They keep growing like Jacks Beanstalk.

We’ve had so many flowers that are quite pretty in themselves but no sign at all of a cucumber.

Until yesterday that is when a tiny miracle appeared.

Honestly you would have thought gold was unearthed or oil had been struck. Ma was so thrilled.

So of course we had to take my photo with the new addition to the family.

For goodness sake pray it’s not an only child.

As we were surfing through our social this morning we happened on a reel about milk delivery in the UK back when Ma was young.

She said she remembers the little electric milk van making its rounds around the streets where she grew up each morning.

She has another reason that it’s imbedded in her brain and that’s the smell of it.

See her school friend Emma’s Dad was a milk man and when he was doing his rounds he’d drop Emma at school.

Well it would seem that when it was raining he’d stop if he saw my Granny walking my Mum to school and give them a lift.

A very kind thing to do and much appreciated by my Mums Mum.

My Mum says though that she would dread having to get in as she can still remember there was a very distinct odor of spilt milk going sour permeating that little cabin!

She was only a little girl at the time and would beg her Mum not to get in but of course it seemed better than getting soaked.

Ma says she can still hear the bottles clinking and almost taste the entire experience.

She’s never ever been a big milk fan! Now I know why.

Sometimes in the morning when I do my stretches I hit the freeze button.

Ma says I look like I’m dead.

Humans can’t do this like us.

We can zone out for minutes at a time and look like marble statues.

I would tell you what it feels like and give you secrets on how it connects you to higher powers in the universe but you just wouldn’t believe it’s possible.

Instead I have rolled over and am now giving Ma my paw since she is my number one person on earth.

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

Well that was my intent but I’m somewhat shaky.

Nasty boom booms came past around 4:00 am and did my little head in.

They continued for a good while and then Dad had to get up and ready for work so I was left to “be brave”

You know I’m beautiful but I’m not always brave.

I tried howling “my favorite things” like Maria in the Sound of Music but it doesn’t work if you’re Granny is snoring and all you have for company is a Grumpy Gizzard.

All I can hope is that the heavenly theatricals are over for the weekend.

I’m putting on a happy face and trying to pretend all is well.

If your afraid of anything try my tip. Your big smile may make others happy too or it may just frighten off any nasty.

I love you almost as much as myself.

If you are anything like me you will have heard enough about Resurrection Lilies to last you a life time.

Ma is driving us all nuts.

Not only are we surrounded by them she is now singing about them.

Says they remind her of Delibes Flower Duet in Lackme so we’re listening to it non stop. She even has it on YouTube TV!!!

Mercy!!!!

If that’s not bad enough she is singing along and see ain’t no soprano.

Any hyenas around for a perfect pairing?

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to heave you over another humpty.

I fear I may be in the dog house once more with Granny.

I found her stash of outdoor toys and got busy strewing them around the yard.

When she caught me I surreptitiously stored one under the coffee table for a chew.

She caught me when it had become more an egg cup than a tennis ball.

Oops.

One mad Granny.

I gave her the mournful I’m so sorry look.

Of course I wasn’t a bit!

She’s still a bit cool with me but that’s just Grumpy Granny.

Silly old thing but the toys back in the same place so I might just run and have fun now.

Hope you have toys too.

Have a playful day and I’ll talk to you Friday perhaps from the pound!

Just kidding she’s not that Grumpy!!

You know Ma and me always follow the news from Northern Ireland well yesterday there was a story that caught our eye.

A cleric of the Church of Ireland Archdeacon Robert Miller has been appointed to be the new chaplain at The Chapel Royal Hampton Court Palace in London.

If you’ve never been there, like me, you must add this historic gem to your bucket list. Ma says it’s one of her favorite places in the whole wide world.

Just imagine walking down the aisle of the chapel where Henry Vlll once lived and all the Kings and Queens that came after him.

What a phenomenal place to work. Lucy Worsley the historian who does all the TV stories that we all love so much has her office there.

There must definitely be a vibe of Tudor times ahead for Rev Rob we can hear the lutes from here.

Bet you’ll be humming Greensleeves all day now!!
