There’s a whole lot of fuss going on about girls today.
Personally I feel they are grossly over rated.
Until recently my benchmark was my sainted mother who is extraordinary and my hero!
Now though my experience is that girls are generally gross.
They eat way too much, hog all the fun things and get far too much attention.
Totally unfair and unbalanced.
When’s boys day?

My Mom is an airhead aka a space cadet aka a balloon!
Dad is back in business arguing with the bro, screaming at the niece and even yapping at me!
He and me were checking the bills while Ma went to petition the Almighty to protect us when we uncovered a flaw in Mothers footwork.
She’d mailed the electric bill without putting in the check! Why you may well ask in this day of online solutions are we still using checks and pigeon post. Well thats because Dad likes it that way!
So when herself returned from Church he pointed the finger at the written check still in the book and she had to admit defeat!
SWEET DREAMS for me a dash to the post was called for!
We whizzed off into the sunshine like Bonnie and Clyde leaving the desperate demon at home!
It was delightful! Windows down barking at bicyclist and joggers and all my pal behind their electric fences!
God definitely heard my plea for some time out and maybe in hindsight was looking over all of us spotting that mistake before we got cut off the grid!

Ma is threatening a trip to the beauty parlor for me.
I said she could take the demon instead and leave her there. Just get her out of my hair!
Ma said its me who needs the hair off not your woman.
Seems she is the sort whose hair doesn’t grow.
It is real thin too. You can literally see through her ears.
That’s why she gets all shivery when she gets wet.
Can’t wait for winter. With a bit of luck she’ll freeze to death!
Blessing #1120-Insulation
The demon killed my piggy. Made bacon of the lovely pinkie that I had nurtured for all these months.
The bro recognized my loss and has compensated by bringing me a hedgehog.
He got one also for his daughter.
They even match our colorings.
He gave it to me last night just as I was entering the land of nod. It did help me sleep well.
BUT! Just hope he doesn’t think this will impact my attitude towards her.
I loved that little piggy! Her innards are everywhere!

The sunrise was spectacular this morning as these photos Auntie Denise took attest to.
Really a burning ring of fire sort of start to the day and a balmy 70F to boot at 7:30 am!
As you can see the tike is tuning into a giant.
Ma said she wasn’t gaining enough weight so this past week she upped her portion size and today she is 25lbs. That is what I weighed at one year and she is not yet six months. Aunty Denise has named her the DYSON!
I think she is more like a bulldozer than a cleaner but either way, while I am still bigger, I’m getting ready to throw her under that 7:35 bus!
Blessing #1118-Superiors
Mum had a whole slew of reservations for today so she left Dad and me at 9:15 just after Dad got his second consignment of meds. He rattles a bit these days!
The tike was tossed in with the bro as soon as we got back from our walk so I loved up real close with Dad. He so appreciates my tenderness.
Ma is serving up some new seasonal treats at the tearoom that I’ve approved. There’s a lot of cranberries and pumpkin involved!
They are good but not nearly as yummy as those nomnom my Dad eats. I will keep a very careful eye on him so I know exactly when to beg!
Blessing #1117-Spicy Daddy
Something strange is going on.
Our Christmas cactus is blooming.
Has this happened in any if your homes?
Ma says it is usually just in time for Santa.
Hope he is not coming early as I am still working on being good!
Blessing #1116-Warning Sign
It’s world animal day so I was expecting extra special treatment and some TREATS too.
I thought we were off to a good start last night.
Call the Midwife season 10 started. So the tike was sent to the bro’s room and I was given a huge rawhide bone so Ma could have her « complete peace and quiet »
This morning while herself was on the phone sorting out Dads meds I had a go at the demonic darkness who was kissy kissying up to my Dad.
Ma lost it! Took me by the scruff of the neck and threw me out.
I had to stay in the screened porch for twenty minutes all by myself. It’s like solitary confinement!
You can still smell whats going on in the kitchen though. The mother was trying an experiment for the tearoom and I could smell all this yumminess.
When I got back in my mouth was watering so much I created a slip hazard!
Not a morsel did I get. Not a single crumb!
Until that is the bro surfaced and was directed by our fearless leader to try the production.
He put one of us on either side of him and tucked in. He learned about sharing snacks from Dad!
I am now on best behavior hoping for a munchie all of my own. Ma says you just « Dream on Sunshine ». So much for a special day!
Blessing #1116-Testing Time
It’s past eight and the vacuum cleaner is still sleeping.
This gave Ma and Pa and me some quality time alone.
We watched the Harvest Service live streamed from Holy Trinity Ballylesson in County Down.
It looked so pretty but Ma was singing which is hard on my ears. There may be all sorts of good gifts around us but hers are not vocal!
There were lots of flowers everywhere in the Church and you know what?
We have matching ones here thanks to Dolorus and her menfolk in Switzerland!
Feeling a very strong connection!
Need to run now though as the dragon is stirring!
Blessing #1114-Flowerful
All around the city of Marion huge birds are popping up.
This is part of the city beautification program. All the birds are cardinals, the state bird of Ohio, but they all have different colors and patterns.
The awesome avians are located at important spots all around the city like the famous theatre and the courtroom.
They now also feature on the downtown tourist trail and guess what is also on that map?
What else but Ma’s little tearoom! I’ll zoom in on that in case you miss that it’s officially part of the cultural corridor and so is my Auntie Paula’s Posh Picks!
