Booming Banter

Terribly late on the old Banter in fact 24 hours late but if you don’t have juice you’re sunk!

Power went out in the storm on Sunday around ten in the evening and battery went flat while we were sleeping.

We were restored to the grid around three on Monday afternoon but the internet was totally Gaga.

We all got up at dawn on Monday as there was yet another storm that would wake the dead. We just wanted to be sure it woke the bro and of course we had to help him out! He held the garage door up while Ma drove his car out.

Fortunately we have gas for cooking so Ma was able to make coffee the old fashioned way otherwise she’d have had a headache.

We went for our walk as usual but then it got tiresome having no electricals so Ma nuked some weeds and folded laundry for the bro.

No baking could be done so we had a sleep.

It was really frustrating waiting for the internet to get sorted as we couldn’t do Netflix or Facebook or TV or or or.

We almost got so bored we looked into resorting to board games but instead we sat on the patio and watch the sun go down through the Canadian wildfire smog and went to bed.

You will be happy to hear we we back in business

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect.

Did you see the tenny? Amazing!

We just caught the very last game as Granny was busy at the tearoom but it was brilliant.

The players were both like me they have difficult names to pronounce. That’s why I prefer Princess!

I love tenny especially chasing the balls.

My friend Ruby leaves hers lying around her yard so sometimes I steal them and take them to the park but I always put them back.

I was so fired up by the fairy tale of this unseeded player winning the biggest match in the world that I’ve decided on taking on a man just like Martina did some years ago.

I could kill him if I wanted to but then who’d I play with except Dad!

Add to all this that the trophy was presented by a girl from the shires who is now the POW and you just gotta conclude that nothing I mean nothing is impossible in this little old world of ours.

Ma is as sick as a parrot.

She was out feeding her addiction for rummage sales yesterday before the tearoom even opened.

She got teacups that are understandable for her enterprise and a candy dish that would go down as useful at a stretch I suppose!

………but what the heck have paperweights to do with tea?

Food for her bunnies maybe.

It was one of those deals where you squeeze as much as possible into a bag for a fixed price.

Well trust me Ma is a professional at this endeavor. She even got a metal door stop in. It weighs about five pounds but it didn’t bust the bag!

Nothing though, not a single sausage for the rest of us.

She is a monster!

That’s why the people threw in a prayer for her too! She desperately needs them!!!!

Blessing#1764-Masterclass

When you see the the floods in Vermont and the fiery heat in the southern states you must admit that in Ohio we have lucked out so far this year.

It’s not cool but it’s tolerable for summer!

Of course we get the odd storm or as they refer to them here “pop-ups”. They help with the watering so make Ma happy.

It also transforms the Terror into a trembling wreak.

That gives me a good giggle and peace perfect peace!

Blessing#1763-Rumbles

I felt it in my bones as soon as I got up. This was going to be a BIG ONE.

Sure enough after our morning trot Ma uttered the blessed boom “let’s go”

Now if she gets out the phone to take selfies I know where I’m going; my groomers. We absolutely MUST do before and after shots.

Today the traffics was light so I got to do the shopping run with her first.

Once that was done Ma dropped me for my treatments and as you can see I’m now ready for the Presidential posters and Ma is a little flushed. Pop ins wore her out today!!!

I really don’t think I could look any better Thank you Top Knots!!

Blessing#1762-Day Trips

We went to the bluffs to smell the milkweed but we were too late, the blossoms were all gone.

For such a beautiful scent we think it is unfair to call this a weed especially as it’s the primary source of food for monarch butterflies. Anyway we saw many other little beauties that we hope you love.

There were daisies and clovers and other things we aren’t so sure about.

Most importantly there were plenty of fruits on the blackberry bushes so I know Ma will be keen for a return trip soon to forage in the forest.

She’s convinced that we should eat these wild things because our ancestors all did and it must have been like their natural immune boosters.

I’ll go along with that if only for the walk!

Blessing#1761-Free Food

The great advantage of Ma sleeping in is she is transformed into the energizer bunny and I get to profit from it.

This afternoon since Jaws was sleepy she said to me “Let’s go Scoob and work off a snack or two”

We got in the car and headed to my favorite place. Hadn’t been there since Jaws almost took Ma out last fall going down the hill!

Metaphorically and figuratively it is cool because it’s like a little forest by the river.

We did the Sycamore Trail and sniffed the flowers. I was tempted to dive into the Olentangy but given the age of the ancient parent I took pity on her and stay with her on dry land.

Tomorrow we’ll share our snaps of the flowers so for now just be jealous!

Blessing#1760-Play Day

I am a little late this morning as my scribe slept in again. I am starting to wonder does she have some disorder because this is twice in the past weeks that she didn’t wake at dawn!!!

Regardless, I realize you no doubt are keen to know how the campaign is progressing.

Well like many successful predecessors I am composing my early like memoirs.

My first year of life in a Texas puppy mill should resonate with many who have spent time stuck in the lone star state.

My rescue and rehabilitation in the central Ohio suburbs will no doubt give many hope that happiness can hit even the most horrible horizon.

I am currently stuck though on how to describe the past two years that I have been forced to spend housed with my nemesis.

Perhaps the best way to formulate this as a that helps me understand the shenanigans of the senate.

So many privileged posers

Blessing#1759-Life Lessons

Precious Peeps it’s Pits. I’m Perfect as you know but it takes work.

Not just diet and exercise but beauty treatments too.

To keep my hair shining I indulge whenever possible in fish skin. It’s an excellent source of omega 3 and high in minerals too. If I can’t get adequate quantities through begging I go to worms. They are becoming increasingly trendy thanks to my active promotions. Get them now on roads near you!

Eyes are also vital to the look so to keep them sparkling I do the veggie routine. Granny tosses me the odd end of cucumber when she’s chopping it for her salad and I find it very refreshing.

No icon though should ever neglect the pearlies so be sure to clean them at least three times a day with your Nyla. Gets all the bits out in one fell swoop. Particularly important before sleep when the acid accumulates

Finally to get the insides moving and the tummy flat go for the least digestible material you can find. My preference is freshly mown grass but if it’s not available in your area check out the All Bran it’s much the same in both taste and effect!

Aren’t you all so lucky to know me.

Blessing#1758-Free Consultantion

Did you see Elon Musk is getting his knickers in a twist about Twitter being challenged by Threads. Baaasaaaaaaaaaaaah! Spot the S!

Ma can’t stand Musk says there is something about his eyes that give her the creeps. She is not that hot on Zuckerberg either but if they were to war she’ll be with the red head.

It’s sort of like me and Jaws they were created to torment each other. Horrific!

Wouldn’t you think that they’d be smart enough to stop fighting. At least now and then I make an effort to be kind to THING

Seems though there is going to be a real fisticuffs. A million on the location lovelies!

Wonder will Billy Gates referee!

Just saying it make sense! A WINDOW on the World!!!!
