Booming Banter

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!

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.

Blessing#2353-Pity Plunger

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.

Blessing#-2352-Yet Another Project

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

What a great day it will be for those two astronauts But h and Sunny who splashed down last night after nearly a year in space.

Maybe you already know but Sunny, the lady, has two dogs waiting for her.

Can you imagine if your hooman left one day and said “be good I’ll be back in a week” and then 45 weeks later you’re still waiting.

I’m sure these fur babies were well cared for but they will be beyond excited when their Mom walks through the door.

I know it will probably be a few days before they see her but I bet they already sense she is back on earth.

I know that I know when my hoomans are homeward bound. You just feel it in your bones.

Blessing#2351-Mission Impossible

Irish feasting was scuppered by Ma’s forgetfulness.

She failed to recall that she had a dinner to attend last evening.

So she had Mexican, Dad leftover chicken and the Bro a burger.

I’m sure Saint Patrick understood the eclectic nature of our food culture.

Tonight though the CHAMP is guaranteed.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this delicacy it consists of spuds mashed up with lashings of butter and cream or milk to which scallions are generously added. A well of butter is created in the middle of the served mound of mash and it is eaten with a heavy had of salt and preferably a spoon so you can dip into the central well of wonder!

Of course ours will be made with vegan butter aka marg and no milk or cream so it won’t be nearly as good as usual but we’ll tuck in anyway!

Blessing#2350-Minor Modifications

Top of the morning to you good Saint Patrick peeps.

The poor niece had a very shaky day yesterday but sure as shooting the ancient saint did his job and has restored us to temperate conditions.

Better still the shamrock Aunt Denise got us is blooming just on time.

We are having spuds a la irlandaise and cabbage for dinner and the men folk will have ham to go with it. Of course the vegan will not.

She says the Irish survived on the American root for centuries and did OK so she will survive another few weeks.

All you have to do is eat enough of them and she never has a problem with that!

Blessing#2349-Champ

Talk about the difference a day makes.

From blazing sunshine to pouring rain.

The grass will be emerald by tomorrow just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day .

Ma says the good lad is known to turn the sunny side up so I’ll be anticipating a brighter start to the week.

The tornadoes are already ripping through the South and Midwest so I’m on duty tending to the shaking niece.

It’s the one time I do feel sorry for her because she looks so pathetic.

We have contemplated buying her one of those thunder shirts but you know Ma is mean so she’s not ready yet to fork out a fortune for something we’re not sure will work.

I’m doing all I can to tend to her and hope to be recognized for my endeavors.

Blessing#2348-Compression Compasion

At this time of year if you stayed in one place for more than an hour you could see things grow.

In a matter of minutes our grass has gone from dreary to darling.

This puts Ma in an exceptionally good mood so we all benefit.

Walks are extended and snacks are abundant in line with appetite that is augmented.

Since Ash Wednesday with the imposition of Vegan we have been pecking on the peanuts as herself is conscious that her protein intake may be too low.

Now I do like nuts (no qualifications needed on that) but you can have too much of a good thing. I am hankering for some good old cheese puffs.

Oh well not to worry I’ll just keep on doing what I do best; watching and waiting.

Blessing#2347-Nibbles

Precious Peeps PITS PERFECT here to project you passionately into the weekend.

I was sound asleep when the eclipse occurred this morning and I hope you were too.

These cosmic events are all well and good but beauty sleep is more important especially if you’re keen on a Keeshond!

I tell you my beau is beautiful!!!

I can only imagine what our offspring would look like.

Shame that that stinker of a Granny won’t let us snuggle up and worse still that she had me snipped.

Now I’ll never know what it’s like to produce a Keesbull or Pithond!

Of well I can still hope for a huggy with the hairy sometime soon.
