Ma is living vicariously through my Auntie Sandra mother of my pawpal mate Frank.

See unless you are sleeping under a rock you’ll know that the British Open is happening in Northern Ireland at Royal Portrush.

This golf club is absolutely beautiful and rated second only to Saint Andrew’s.

Ma has never played golf beyond put put but she loves watching.

Auntie Sandra on the other hand is a former captain of her home course so is to put it modestly gifted.

Ma has been on to Sandra daily this week to see when she is going to the Open.

Well here’s what happened yesterday she went and she got to take this great photo of Northern Irelands hero the bold Rory McIlroy.

The whole world loves Rory so we are all so hopeful he’ll win another big one.

You won’t be able to speak in our house on Sunday!

Precious Peeps it’s me your absolutely Perfect Pitty here to project you into a most wonderful weekend.

I am hopeful that I’ll get to spend some me time with my Dad as he is fun.

The ancients are kind but Grandpa tends to scold too much.

Dad and I have long since concluded that Grandpa and Scooby were cut from the same cloth.

You can do nothing to please them. Even helpful housework like licking the sofas gets their nickers in a twist.

Granny is OK most of the time but she can get a little salty especially when she’s been working outside.

She tastes like a RItz cracker.

So all in all I’m praying Dad will take me out for a while so I can chill in his truck!

Be like me and stick your head out the window and let the wind blow in your face I just know you’ll find it fun.

Stay cool beloveds and be bold like your PERFECT PITTY!

Blessing#2472-Chill Out

Ma and me are digging through junk to see what we can ditch before we move.

I keep telling her there is a fifty five pound Pitty that doesn’t need to come to the new ranch but she won’t listen.

I don’t know why she loves that critter so much because all she is is trouble.

Maybe it because she is on a mission to eliminate ever pair of shoes Ma owns.

Less to pack!!

There were some of Dads that were packed off for the thrift store because he no longer wears them.

I suggested we give them to JAWS after all they’re leather and that is just like raw hide.

Maybe she’d choke on one of them.

That would be so sweet.

Precious Peeps it’s me your ever Perfect Pits here to heave you over the humpty.

Granny was doing a lot of heaving herself yesterday.

After taking me and the stinking Gizz for a good trot and then a ride in Aretha she dumped us with Grandpa.

She took Consuelo with her and a trunk load of plant so I knew where she was going as she said “I’ll be home by five”

While digging in the undergrowth under one of the very large trees she saw something sticking out of the ground.

Turned out it was a GIGANTIC solid iron cauldron.

Perfect for that fire pit the Bro had worked on.

It weighed about as much as Granny so the only way she could move it was by rolling it but she managed to make the fifty feet to the stone circle.

She was elated and convinced that this was yet another direct gift from God.

Can you just imagine what must have been brewed in that thing in days gone by. Bet it was some sort of potion that beautified the bodies of ancients.

Of course I don’t need any of that so fill her up and let’s get grilling Granny!!!

Blessing#2470-Toil and Trouble!

The rain was coming down in sheets at our usual trot time so we got the micro version to get our jobs done.

When we came back Ma dove into the laundry room.

We could hear her huffing and puffing and throwing things around which usually means she is mad.

We couldn’t work it out as we’d been good on our walk!!!

She emerged for breath a few times and brought out a shelf. She looked triumphant.

I’ve liquidated one shelf she yelled to Dad!

She then returned to the depths and continued huffing and puffing like a dragon for another hour.

When she came out there was a full bag of trash and a gazillion empty boxes.

Dad was forced to inspect the organizational excellence.

This included the arrangement of enough cleaning fluids to see us into the next millennium as well as no less than five unopened boxes of leather cleaner.

Clearly this particular way to hell was paved with very good intentions

Blessing#2469-Small Step

If you own a dog you can probably relate to Mark Twain’s take on life.

I know Ma does and has often said this very thing to me on the quiet.

The fifty million dollar question is have you ever seen Mark’s dog?

We hadn’t.

So when we clapped eyes on it yesterday we had to share with you.

Out thoughts we’re that he is much bigger and bolder looking than we’d have predicted.

He looks almost as big as his main man Mark.

Bet he would have kept him warm on a cold night though.

Wonder would he have dug our blessing number for today. Well we will never know if he was into that sort of line up but we do!!!

Blessing#2468-Aligned and Enlightened

The Bro is digging the new ranch.

That would be literally and metaphorically!

He cleared an over grown area and cut out some deadwood in a tree yesterday so Ma could plant those perennials she rescued.

Ma as you know is hard to please but when they got home she told Dad loudly in the Bro’s presence that he’d done a GREAT JOB!

While Ma was planting the area after she’d packed up at the tearoom the Bro proceed to make himself a fire pit.

He intends to burn some of that deadwood this week.

Who knows maybe one of these days if I’m good he’ll roast me a sausage.

Blessing#2467-S’mores and More

Ma was away working at a Kairos fundraiser yesterday.

It was a dinner and WHO DID IT mystery.

She left us at midday and returned at 9:00 pm.

Of course that meant we got our evening outing with the Bro which is a 180 second circuit of our own yard.

It was steaming hot so I wasn’t to sad about that but I get very anxious when Ma is not home by six.

So what to do but wait and watch.

I’m not sure why I do this because it doesn’t seem to bring her any quicker.

I just seem to be able to breath easier if I think the next car will be Aretha.

Do you do that too?

Blessing#2466-Back to Base

Precious Peeps it’s me your PERFECT as always Pitty Pal here to project you into a wonderful weekend.

I was just getting back in my stride after the roller coaster start to the week when Granny woke me up in the middle of the night.

She had taken a fit of the giggles.

Says it happens to her now and again.

Seems she had such a funny dream that it raised her from her slumbers and she just couldn’t stop laughing.

What was the dream about you ask just as I did and here is what she said.

She was dating President Trump! Except he wasn’t President at the time he was a young whipper snapper real estate developer.

Hardly that funny is it?

Well no it isn’t until you get to the best bit. He had a great big black head just to the left of his nose and Granny was out to squeeze it like doctor Pimple Popper.

OK I admit that is a little funnier.

She woke up just as she was about to dive into it as he sat at a wooden kitchen table.

In biblical times Joseph would have had a field day interpreting this.

For now I’ll just say humans are strange especially when they are doing flips on run down houses!!

Hope this has helped you see that no matter how crazy you might think you are Granny is worse.

Blessing#2565-Cloud Cuckoo Land

So you won’t believe this one unless you believe in divine intervention.

Yesterday on the way to the tearoom Ma stopped to buy jam.

She saw that there were racks of plants outside the second hand Restore shop which was a first!

Being as nosy as Pinocchio she had to sniff this out.

There were literally hundreds of plants many of which were at deaths door but since it was marked buy one get two free Ma decided to investigate.

She went inside and asked how much a plant was and the lady said $1.

WOW!

Ma coughed up the dollar and the lady said take four and Ma thanked her and then the lady said “You know what just take as many as you want”

It was like the feeding of the five thousand on a plant platform.

The backseat if her car was filled.

Ma feels that God personally gifted this to her for the new house and she has already dibbled in the two cherry tomato plants.

The perennials and annuals will have to wait till the weekend when she has cleared a spot for them but she is as happy as a pig in muck.

She never did get the jam but she sure is jammy!!!!!
