You know Ma is very patriotic and also into seasonal decor!

So it is that I am currently surrounded by Union Jacks and Star Spangled Banners.

We get plenty of China when we celebrate their New Year so the Bro is covered

I suppose I better get used to it as I’ll have to entertain many nations at the White House.

Poor Dad never gets to fly the Indian flag so I’ll make a point of inviting Modi G over as soon as we’ve settled in.

He can be my first guest.

Maybe I’ll have my relatives accompany him. That would be a fine surprise and they could bring those spicy snacks Ma loves so much and Dads favorite sweets too!

It will be a diplomatic coup

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to sweeten up your Saturday.

Hope you had a good start to the weekend and have taken time to chill.

I’m hanging loose in the sun.

Tanning is not necessary for me as it’s impossible to improve on perfection but Granny does benefit from a change in hue.

She’s terribly pale. The Irish disposition just like the stinking Gizz.

They are used to rain and wind whereas I’m made for the good life!

Follow me and keep up the good work.

Yesterday we watched some of the memorial services for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Thanks to people like Tom Hanks we have some sense of what it must have been like for all those soldiers landing in Normandy.

The tributes were touching and tremendous

Ma says she will never forget visiting the site and seeing all the thousands of graves of those who died in just the space of a few hours.

I can imagine that seing this really reinforces the significance of what they did. Still even sight unseen I appreciate.

Apologies if you get Banter about ten times today but WordPress has been poorly.

Ma is mad! Angry not crazy! Well she’s crazy too but y’all know that.

The bunnies have a burrow under our tall grass and they have eaten all the annuals she planted in the yard even the DUSTY MILLERS.

This is a first as normally nothing touches these not even deer!Maybe they are young and don’t know the dangers of the dusty and will have tummy troubles and leave all alone from now on.

They also chewed one of auntie Denise’s prize tomatoes right down to the soil. Pity they don’t eat mint as that’s growing like a weed all over the yard.

Me thinks BBQ Bunny with mint sauce sounds quite good. YUM YUM YUM!!!I’ve told Ma to let me and the niece chase them and catch them and eat them as a snack but she says it would all get too messy.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here to get you over hump day.

I don’t want you to expect this every week as I intend to be otherwise occupied.

It’s so stinking hot here, especially in my chamber on the second floor, that even with the AC and fan on I’ve been awake half the night.

I’m contemplating leaving this kennel and taking a dive into auntie Denise’s pool.

It is my understanding that certain pampered pooches are also being given spa treatments to cool off.

I’m lucky if I get a bowl of ice cubes but they get the works, bath, massage, hairdo and fancy fruit work to boot.

The world is ill divided.

Such attention should be spared for deserving causes like mine and not given to any pups other than perfect ones like me. Devoted fan will be considered also for the best treatment so I count on you.

Fight for my right!s!

Blessing#2090-Cosseting

Mom says this happens sometimes and is irresistible.

You think of something your Mom made and you want to eat and you just have to have it.

So it was that yesterday after her trip to the dentist for her professional clean and polish she had to find parsnips.

She snagged two pounds of them at MEIJER. They were peeled and combined with equal quantities of carrots, boiled to death, mashed with tons of butter and served for dinner with pork chops.

So much was made that even the Bro was saturated and incapable of eating everything

So the good news is Ma is happy this morning too because she will be having her favorite comfort food again very soon; for lunch!

Blessing#2089-Leftovers

Auntie Denise is aware that one of my favorite things is lunging at men on bikes.

She does her very best to help Mom avoid shoulder dislocation by acting as our bike spotter.

When she sees one she immediately alerts Mom and then she points at me and takes a stand in front of me and utters the immortal authoritative words “NO SCOOB”!

So it is that each time she comes across a funny on this subject she swings it my way.

It gives me a giggle and Ma gets a chuckle out of it too so we thought we’d share with you and point your work week to the wacky way!

Blessing#2087-Just Jesting

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect her with a life lesson for you!

Yesterday there was a vintage car show in Marion the town where we have our tearoom.

Ma was too busy serving up good cheer to go but Auntie Marsha went with Uncle Jim in their “old” red truck and tooted at the sippers as they past!

The first time Ma saw this vehicle she got a great eye opener.

She’d heard about it often and of the amount of time Jim spent working on it from Marsha and expected it to be a wreck that was rusty and falling apart. In her mind it was like Jed Clampits jalopy from the Beverly Hillbillies!

Oh no dear reader. What a shock Ma got.

This is a thing of great beauty shining as bright as the day it rolled off the production line so many many years ago ago.

The lesson in this tale is that with pampering and great care and attention to maintenance you too can be as beautiful as me even if you’re a tad ancient.

So get out the polish peeps!
