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

We are all set for soaring temperatures but maybe a little rain too.

As long as the boom booms stay away I’ll be just fine.

I’m so looking forward to sun bathing soon.

It’s one of my very favorite pastimes.

I’m afraid I made a mess of our patio furniture cushions with my long nails but Granny has resourceful source new ones from a dumpster dive.

I love my Granny’s impressive intelligence and initiative in solving such problems.

Girls rule.

Be like me and Granny!!!

When Auntie Phyllis passed over the rainbow bridge Ma took it upon herself to contact some of PCs friends and share the sad news with them.

This reacquainted Ma with some close mutual friends they shared back in the days they spent together in Switzerland.

It also allowed Ma to meet, albeit virtually, Miss Pamela who lives in Carolina and was Phyllis’s best friend for many many years.

The two have hit it off and are keeping in touch and so it was a great surprise yesterday when Ma received this beautiful gift from Pamela along with a lovely card.

This little silver tree has a jeweled cardinal in it and the message “Forever in our Hearts” engraved on it.

Here many people believe when you see one of these sweet little birds that a loved one is saying hello from heaven.

Ma has hung it on her rear view mirror so she will see it every day.

It is so precious and so touching.

Precious Peeps PITS PERFECT here to help you over the humpty.

Yesterday for a split second I feared extradition.

See Granny and the Gizz and me were trotting around the big loop in the sunshine when a white car came past.

As is his habit the Gizz lunged at it and just as Granny was corralling him in I decided to cross in front of them for a nibble on the new grass.

It was a bit like the Grand National.

Granny took off over me like I was a hurdle and landed flat on her face.

Here’s how I redeemed myself.

I stood perfectly still and looked at her as she made her way from horizontal to vertical.

Apart from uttering a few obscenities and having a bloody knee she was unharmed which is just as well as we were a mile and a half from home.

Here’s the best bit though she told Grandpa the incident was all the Gizzards fault and that I was a good girl and didn’t bolt when she dropped my leash.

I hope this little tale helps you with your humpty. Just remember that you sometimes get over things easier than you might imagine.

We slept in.

Didn’t stir till 7:15.

Ma blames it on the clock springing forward she says she naturally wakes at dawn.

I put it down to her age.

Her brain needs more downtime to process and file all new data and dog gone it she has squired a lot of that in by the past days.

She is clean worn out with all her planning.

We have switched our reading material from books to brochures.

Ma went to the Home Depot on her way home on Saturday and a small truck was needed to bring back all the bumph she found.

I am now familiar with every hue of white.

Daffodil yellow for the front door is proving to be a challenge. Ma is trying to find the exactly right tone that has been dragged from the depths of her dreams.

We are meeting our favorite painter friend Ted at THE RANCH at noon.

I trust he has the patience of Job because Ma is destined to drive him nuts.

The whole family is going as the Bro is off work today and Auntie Marsha and Uncle Jim are coming along to view.

I am secretly excited at the prospect of many trips north. Don’t tell Ma though if she thinks I’m grumpy she’s more generous with the goodies!!!

So it’s Sunday and you know that means Ma and Pa go to church and I’m left in charge of the ranch.

Our church is really big and has many missions.

It also has an interesting claim to fame.

George Clooney lived in the parking lot.

Now don’t jump to conclusions he was not down on his luck.

No, there was a house there back in the day.

So now when Ma parks Aretha she always wonders is she over the spot where the divine one slept!

Blessing#2355-Holywood Ground

Oh my goodness did you see the mess at Heathrow?

Poor souls who are stuck all around the world without flights you really do have to feel sorry for them.

Ma says it reminds her of the time the volcano erupted and she and the Bro were stuck in London along with thousands of other people.

You just got to hope that this was an infrastructure issue and not an act of terrorism.

It certainly makes you think that you never know the minute. One day you’re making plans for a vacation or a family visit and next thing you know the lights go out.

Let’s hope that things catch up quick now that the lights are back on!!!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here to project you into a wonderful weekend.

I am so excited at the prospect of becoming a synchronized swimmer.

Can you imagine the grace and elegance that awaits those who are destined to witness my perfect form diving into the Pitty Pool.

I have already claimed it as my own as I know the stinking Gizz will only dip his paw in the water.

I’m also anxious to see the dating talent in the new domain.

I know Granny has set up a few dates for trots already but I don’t know if they are as youthful as me.

Part of the fence fell down in an overnight storm so I won’t be romping around the yard until that’s fixed but I can still make my mark on lampposts.

Well here’s the deal. Ma and Pa bought a fixer upper in Marion the town where we have the tearoom.

It came on the market last Thursday. Ma saw it Friday and liked it. She rushed home and got Dad and me and the niece and we all liked it too.

It needs new bathrooms and all new flooring and a lot of TLC but here’s the thing.

It’s exactly the same age as Ma so very mid century modern.

It’s also on a street called Lorraine Circle so since that’s the name of one of Ma’s dearest friends it must be a good omen and finally, roll that drum it has a swimming pool.

This means that the whole back years is fenced so we can play all day every day and jump in the pool when we need to chill.
