Booming Banter

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

I have a confession to make. I stirred up trouble on the humpty by mixing up my dates.

Dad was shocked and dismayed that I claimed my birthday had been forgotten. He showed me his arm.

“Look here young lady” he said “it is written clearly in Latin numerals your birthday is May 16. Never ever in the history of humanity would I forget the date of the arrival of my Pretty Pitty Princess”

Oops! I ate my words along with my kibble. Why did we have that big bag of Lays well maybe it was just a munchy moment!!

Here’s the good news though tomorrow I get to have a big time bash. I see perhaps a celebration starting today and lasting till Monday with a cook out and pizza and ice cream and gifts and cards and flowers and….

Got to rush it may already be starting in any case must kiss Kong.

Send me you birthday wishes no later than midnight tomorrow. I’ll be waiting!!!

Good to her word Ma planted on the anniversary.

To make it fun she went shopping with a budget of $40 and managed to get quite the haul. Two azalea, some begonias and dianthus.

As some of you good people out there suggested the theme for the color was red. She mixed in some deep pink too as it’s somewhat like a ruby! Good contrast to go with that zebra grass she snagged at the yard sale last week.

I helped a lot by keeping Jaws under control and evens did some digging.

It was a glorious day and we got really dirty and then the good Lord stepped in and watered everything overnight.

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here with KONG to heave you over the humpty.

We are both extremely vexed.

First, did you notice that that Goofy Granny said she and Grandpa had one fish during their long life together when in fact they had five! She corrected her mistake when we brought it to her attention but still it hurt deeply.

Can you imagine that four of Kong’s kin were so quickly forgotten. Granted they lived only a matter of days on our island but still. Just goes to show you can’t trust humans.

To make matter worse with all this Mothers Day malarkey and the 40th furor they forget my birthday. I turned five on Sunday and not a word about it.

Fortunately when I was reminiscing with Kong and showing him my cute baby photos Dad overhead me. He sneaked a family sized pack of Lays into our room and we ate the whole thing. That was worth the hiccup.

So as you can see if your life is bad ours is worse so get crunching and make magic happen. Thankfully we have each other!

Must rush now it’s brekkie time for us both. Love you almost as much as we love ourselves. Talk Friday.

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!
