Booming Banter

It’s as well the bro is of a sunny disposition, as this picture from yesterday’s Facebook memories epitomizes because Ma is scheming.

Swift on the heals of their day spent painting floors and tiles and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms Ma has a project for him for his next day off.

She is planning to attract more customers to the Tearoom with some zany color scheme.

First up the flag pole that broke in a storm last winter is to be fixed and a huge OPEN flag placed in it.

Next up she’s got a pot of bright red paint and all the detail that’s peeling or as yet uncolored around the doors and windows is going to get it.

Once that is done she’s for sticking lettering down one side reading Booming and down the other Blessings and along the top Tea & Treasure. The color of this will be determined by the Home Depot or Hobby Lobbys most competitive pricing!!!

I’ve been promised I can come along and assist if it’s a Goldilocks day.

Mom was so tired last night she hardly spoke. Now any of you who know my Mom know that that’s unusual.

The bro and her had been away all day working at the apartment above the Tearoom. It’s quite a big space!!!

You should have seen them when they got home. Looked like they’d lived on the streets for weeks.

The old tenants left on August 31 as they inherited a house so Ma and the brown were redoing the floors and cleaning the place before the agent could show it to potential new tenants today.

Mom went straight to the bath to remove her body paint work and tend to her injuries.

The bro fixed the chirping alarm to avoid another sleepless night and ordered food.

We watched the end of Chernobyl and just about made it upstairs as her little legs were stiff as the boards she painted and creaking like them too!

There was a distinct possibility she may never be the same again so I gave her extra TLC and she slept like a baby.

I’m excessively angry.

All night long that stupid round thing on the ceiling has been chirping.

It doesn’t do it all the time just randomly.

You dose off and then half an hour later it emits this massive single beep that would wake the dead.

Ma was huffing and puffing and tossing and turning and rolling so I had no choice but to go underground.

Now we are awake for good we have found the master has a red light on.

It would all give you the heebeejeebees especially when we spent the whole of last evening binge watching Chernobyl!

They say when thunder roars stay indoors.

Well it’s roaring like a lion here right now and it’s dark as night. See those red spots on the radar that’s over our house.

It is most annoying because I am busting for a pee. Ma says I have to be brave and hold on till the storm passes. Jaws fortunately is asleep because it’s so dark!

We feel sorry for the poor people who have been looking forward to a long anticipated day off work. There will be no last day of pool or barbecue cookout today.

Indoor plans only peeps.

Snoozing sounds sweet! After all that was the one of the original objective for the day first celebrated in NYNY on September 5th 1882.

Blessing#1450-R&R

Why is it when things get exciting humans move closer to the TV?

Do they really think those people playing are inside?

Some dogs on the other hand double crunch. Others just ignore!

It was a good game. At least what I saw of it.

Ma decided since she has a shower party today that she needed her sleep so we went to bed at half time.

You know how it is when the master speaks you need to listen.

It’s Labor Day weekend and while the sun may be setting on summer it’s rising on Football season.

We’ll be glued to the TV. Not sure who to cheer for though as the Bucks are taking on Notre Dame; the fighting Irish.

On our walk this morning it was beautiful. We’re hoping the storms stay away for the game.

It’s not so pretty in other parts of the country though.

California is on fire and Mississippi has water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

Sometimes you just gotta say that your lucky to be in OHIO Irish or not!!!

These past few evenings have been mercifully quiet since I gave up fighting over the Nyla bones.

Jaws moves from one to the other but these things are tougher than steel. She is making little inroads on either of them unlike the other indestructibles that the bro bought which have been delightfully destructed !!!

Such is the power off the Nyla that even Dad got concerned last night that she might hurt her teeth.

Eventually even Pitty persisted no more and climbed on the sofa for a snuggle.

She then proceeded to pass out with a strange sort of slobber slipping from her lip.

Ma just wiped it off and went on listening to TV.

She says snoozing savages are so sweet!

Blessing#1447-Chewed Out

We slept in this morning.

Ma says it’s an inevitable consequence of the days getting shorter.

The sun is not up as our six o’clock alarm anymore.

I may have to kiss her like that Prince did in that fairy story to get her going.

The later light has its benefits as you know who doesn’t wake up as early either.

She has big ears though so as soon as we get moving so does she. Tortured I am and it’s starting to show!!!

It’s real pretty at present so when we do shake ourselves it’s blue skies ahead.

If there was any justice in this world the PIT would be dead.

She isn’t content with just her own Nyla she wants mine too.

I make all the right moves to get the jaw breaker and then she snatches it from under my nose.

I have some ideas though. We’ve been watching a new series about The Boleyns.

I think she’s just like that Anne gal.

Never content, always wanting more.

Off with her head I hear you scream!

Oh that’s just the perfect position Princess!

Don’t they say the past has a habit of repeating itself?

Blessing#1445-History

Joint publication today from your favs.

Light bulbs turned on in our heads yesterday or as they say in Northern Ireland « the penny dropped »

If we behave and make our parents happy we get great gifts.

During their shopping séjour yesterday while we were at the spa they got us « indestructible » toys.

We were given some of our rewards last night while the fam watch Belfast on HBO.

While they were fixed on the film we were busy chewing.

Our teeth are a little worse for the wear today but we are looking forward to attacking the biggest Nyla bones the bro could find tonight.

May need an epic like Gone with the Wind to work through these!
