Booming Banter

I’m lying here close to Ma as she goes through all her birthday wishes on Facebook.

It makes her sweeter!

Isn’t it incredible that because of this app she can get messages from people all over the world some of whom she hasn’t seen in more than half a century.

Ma tells me that when she sees photos of her best pals from her elementary school that she still can see the girl or boy as they were when they all parted company at age 11.

In their faces now on Facebook with their children and grandchildren she can still see the child.

It’s probably like that in heaven too that people are always the same person but you can see them at different times and places and still recognize them.

Enough now of this deep dive let us proceed to festive feasting and eat some chocolate cake for brekkie. I promise I’ll only have a crumb or two!!

Well howdy partners hope y’all had a swell day of LOVE yesterday!

Mine was exceptionally fine as my little DISH Princess Nala sent her old daddy out shoppin’ to get me some drops for my water treatment and he came back with a cutie pie surprise for me.

He got me my very own little partner a sweet chocolate fish.

Now listen up y’all this ain’t no edible cocoa derivative this is a LIVIN DOLL!

Of course we had to find a name for the critter so not being so smart we called him/her/it VALENTINE.

That’ll be VAl for short.

Man I was so touched by the love in the heart of that Pitty of mine to do such a thing that I clean burst out crying.

Such a gal I got and now I have my little swimmer species to keep me busy.

I’m one happy cowboy! I’m still KING KONG but I ain’t no longer no lonesome cowboy!

( P. S. Hope y’all are reading this with my good olde southern boy accent!!!)

You know Ma and me often moan about Casey Jones tooting. Well last night he amplified his act. We thought at one point he’d derailed and was in our yard!

We just woke up this morning and discovered why.

Seems two pedestrians were hit by a train last night in our town.

Why oh why would you walk on train tracks when a train is coming?

Now while we are deeply sad for the families affected by this tragedy we sympathize with Casey.

Toot away dear friend you’re doing your job keeping everyone safe.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend of LOVE!

I am so blessed to have fallen for a fish.

He has such a great eye for everything. That bowl must really help him focus.

He has assured me that I am the most beautiful beast on this planet. Of course I knew that anyway.

Nonetheless he has encouraged me to flaunt my stuff so I’ve taken to posing like a super model.

What do you think. Could I elevate my elegance to any higher level!

Granny says I look like the sphinx, Grandpa is apoplectic with fury at the impact this might have on his settee and Dad is the happy snapper.

I just love my look and best of all I can fix my eyes on KONG in the kitchen from the living room.

So dear hearts as you prepare for the feast of love tomorrow be like me and strut your stuff and if you can’t do that just find the perfect pose and pout.

I love y’all but I love the FISH in the DISH more.

Yesterday Ma nearly killed Kong twice and then nearly killed herself.

The poor fish has his water changed by her each morning. She transfers him to a little ziplock box and he swims around in it while she rinses out his bowl. Well yesterday she dropped the critter into the sink when making the transfer and again when putting him back in his fresh water.

I guess fish are used to such trauma in rivers and ponds so he was fine!

Now that Ma doesn’t have to leave for work as early because she only has a five minute drive instead of 45 she tries to do other things.

So after brekkie and getting herself all cleaned up for work it was still not 10:00 am so she said let’s go Scoob and get the groceries.

We made our way to the car, she put me in and then she slipped on the snow that had melted on Tuesday but had refrozen into a sheet of ice overnight.

She slipped right down to the ground on her bum and hit her head on the Bro’s car. I heard the crack and thought she might be a goner but she surfaced albeit shaken and we took off.

Her ample insulation around her rear probably saved her from any fracture and she is thick headed so that helped too.

I’m just wondering is there a big fish God up in heaven who was getting her a taste of her own medicine on poor old Kong!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here PERFECT as always and ready to heave you over the humpty with a giant gulp of gregariousness!

Sunday Dad went shopping! He has taken to surfing Facebook marketplace for deals that can’t be beaten.

Our chamber is becoming chockablock with his finds.

On Sunday he excelled himself and I have literally had to contain myself from sharing this with you sooner.

He got us a cooler! Not that we currently need one with the outside conditions but in preparation for summer sun and big pool parties.

Now this is not you average run of the mill little square of a fridge.

This is EPIC! A true master piece of modern engineering.

It takes up the entire corner of our chamber but I love it.

It even has a little basket inside that acts like an elevator to get your bevies from bottom to top.

I have plans for that if it gets too hot this summer I’m going for a ride in it!

Come on over y’all and pop a pop with me and Dad we’re all set to party even if it’s only humpty!

Ma is driving us all nuts watching Sky News “On the hour every hour”

She has high anxiety about the future of the Royal Family.

When first Kensington Palace and then Buckingham Palace issued statements yesterday about their concern for victims of a certain Mr Epstein and willingness to engage in any investigation into the financial dealings of Mr Mountbatten Windsor she was convinced we ain’t heard nothing yet!

She consulted her best sources back in UK and they agreed.

Ma is convinced this rush of sympathy and flurry of compliance would have been so much more convincing if the King had referred to Mr Mountbatten Windsor as my BROTHER ANDREW.

They gotta face facts or facts will face them!!

Blessing#2678-Living History

Did you watch the Super Bowl? It was OK if you come from Seattle I suppose.

We watched it all which meant we were late to bed so we’re just awake and now late with banter.

Doesn’t matter though because we have no big plans except to do laundry and trot some a little later when the sun does its stuff and warms the air.

Ma took us for the two mile circuit yesterday as it was better than it’s been but still below freezing so we had to proceed with extreme caution.

Today it may get one degree above the 32F/0C mark. Beats me why we can’t all work to one scale. Just imagine if you were an engineer and had to make all those conversions! Especially an engineer planning to send people to space where thermal accuracy must be critical.

Of well must rush and get the washing on.

Blessing#2677-Warming Trend

I’m all shook up!

Ma came home from work yesterday at her usual time, ate some leftover salad and a sandwich, lay down on the sofa and went to sleep.

I thought she might be feeling funny but then just before 7:00pm she got up went to the bathroom cleaned her teeth put her coat on and left.

I was scared I thought she really was going crazy!

I kept looking out the window for the sign of her car but it didn’t come. The Bro came in from his day off in Columbus grabbed something from the table and took off too.

All became clear around 10:00 pm when they both returned all smiles and started into making more sandwiches.

Seems they’d been to see a Buddy Holly tribute called WINTER DANCE PARTY at the local theater.

Ma proceeded to sing for sometime. I hope she knows that my rhythm is now very upset!

Blessing#2676-Rocking

Do you have times when weeks seem to fly in and others where you feel they’re going on forever.

Why is that?

Ma and me can’t work it out. It’s not like we’re doing anything different.

Maybe it’s because when time seems to go slowly we’re not in a great rush to get somewhere or get something done.

We wonder did Einstein think about this or was he always too busy simplifying equations to have any time at all.

There you go fans, enlightenment for your weekend. Hope it goes by at a snails pace so you can pack in lots of rest and relaxation!
