Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s your very own perfectly pretty Pitty here to give you a great big woof into the first weekend of the year.

Maybe you are on a health kick like granny or going green or something equally noble.

Since I cannot be improved upon I’m just being my usual wonderful self.

It makes life so much easier to live when everything you do is done with the utmost elegance.

Be like me or at least a little bit of a PIT!!

Well inevitably a New Year means a new get fit campaign for Ma.

We started well with porridge to which an apple was added as we are eating more fruits and veggies. Tick one!

We met Auntie Denise and then hooked up with my buddy Remy and his Mom and did double duty on our walk taking in the big and small loops. Tick two.

Inspired by a comment made by Auntie Denise Ma downed a large glass of still water. Tick three.

She then selected three paperback novels to sit in a strategic position to encourage reading. It’s good for the aging brain! Tick four

We then all took off for the Chinese grocery store. Full family outing! We stocked up on dumplings, spicy sauces and exotic veggies. I’m not sure how the dumplings fit in the fitness equation but heh ho. Tick five.

Ma made stir fried pea shoots and tofu for lunch. More fiber! Tick six! Not for me I’ll stick to grass.

Had a siesta! Essential part of the Mediterranean model! Tick seven

Did some reading rather than facebooking. Tick eight.

Made spring rolls from scratch as appetizers. More fiber. Did the dumplings and scoffed them too. Tick nine

Watched the football. Sport is fun and we all need that and especially good OSU had a big win. Tick ten

Watched some of the New Year concert from Vienna just to include a little culture. Tick eleven

Restricted ETOH consumption to two light beers. Tick twelve

Precious Peeps it’s your very own PRINCESS here to project you not just over the humpty but right slap bang into 2025.

We should now look forward and not back but I must say last year saw me gnaw nicely through some seriously gnarly Nylas and I’m proud of my accomplishments.

Moving forward with the confidence only a Pitty possesses let me assure you my teeth are in great shape.

Sharpened, strong and shining like the star I am and ready to be ruthless with any stinking Gizz or obstacle that crosses my path.

Look out nastiness I’m nuking you now!

There, and as a final force to be reckoned with a word from my Granny “wrap your heads around this fact; it’s a quarter century since the millennium!!!”

Blessing#2274-New Beginning

When you wake up in the middle of the night and a word comes into your head and you’re not sure what it means you banter about it.

First you have to Google it to get the gist and when you do and you find that it is a word that can have polar opposite meaning you feel reassured that your uncertainty was justified.

So dear reader as we end the year you may choose the type of year you had but use the same word and no one will really know.

Except that it originates from the Latin and has something to do with sheep. Baba 2024!

Blessing#2273-Out of the Herd

Well I know some of you already know but for those of you who have not heard there was water in the bucket.

My heart sank when Ma told me and I could see from her face that her own little heart had shrunk to the size of the Grinch’s.

To put it mildly the old gal was sad.

Now let me set the context. In the past day it had rained as heavy as when Noah resorted to boat building.

Even with this there was only about two inches of water in the bucket and the surrounding towels were all dry.

The drips were slow and small but steady so you are all now requested to pray that the current situation is due to damaged internal caulking brought about by the previous issue.

A call will be made as soon as possible to see if this can be put to rights.

All hands on deck please 🙏

Blessing#2272-Last Resorts

The big window at the business started leaking really bad so a bucket had to be hidden in a bed of towels in the middle of the beautiful holiday display Auntie Paula had put up.

The people who installed it inspected the problem and promised a free fix which was very kind of them and much appreciated but to do this they had to order a special piece of metal.

It hadn’t arrived by December 21 when the gals closed for the holidays.

When Ma went in on Friday a miracle had occurred. There was no water in the bucket yet it had rained a lot over Christmas.

She called the company and sure enough they had fixed it from the outside.

On Friday evening it poured again and yesterday Ma was holding her breath when she went in.

Not a drop of water to be seen.

Ma is still anxious so she and Dad are heading up to check today since it is once again tipping it out of the heavens.

Pray please that it’s holding up.

Blessing#2271-Faithful Fixings

Just one more weekend left this year.

It’s hard to believe that so many days have passed.

Maybe it’s because I have spent more time sleeping this year than ever before.

You know I have to follow the example set by Ma and she is getting worse and worse.

Can’t keep her peepers open past nine yet she’s wide awake at five in the morning.

I’m trying to persuade her she has to break this rhythm and stay up half an hour later each evening until she reaches midnight.

She says it must be a hundred years since she stayed up that late.

Even I wasn’t around that long ago!!

Blessing#2297-Clocks Ticking

Precious Peeps it’s a very Pudgy Pitty here to project you into the weekend.

Some of you may have time off between Christmas and New Year but Granny and Dad don’t

It’s just as well as I need my beauty sleep.

All the eating and chewing clean did me in.

I couldn’t make it through the Christmas special. I passed into Pitty paradise half way through.

Yesterday I took it a lot easier apart from two long trots.

Now I’m raring to go again for the weekend.

I hope you too have recovered and are preparing for more feasting.

We don’t have any special food planned. maybe some more of that BEAT BUT that autocorrect came up with in the Gizzards memo of yesterday.

He really should read his posts before pressing publish.

Sounds interesting though! Nice and fatty and chewy. Must put it on the menu!!

Blessing#2296-Culinary Creation

Well did you eat enough for a week or what?

If not why not? Are you on Krypton?

I was exhausted with all the goodies and with chewing my new Nyla so had to sleep for three hours after lunch.

We went form a short trot with Auntie Denise to build appetite and then returned to watch Murder on the Orient Express and prepare for the beat but of the day.

Turkey sandwiches loaded with stuffing and cranberry sauce, mince pies and Call the Midwife. The special lasted two hours so we had to have some banana chips to sustain us to the end.

I felt it was most appropriate and very well thought through that Auntie Marsha got Ma such beautiful earrings as a present.

Blessing#2295-Perfect Fit

Precious Peeps I have the honor to be the author of this greeting as Christmas comes on humpty day.

Yesterday I got a new Nyla from my dear auntie Denise so I will be tucking into that a little later.

I also know that Santa came to my house as I can smell something in a stocking and it’s not one of Granny’s socks.

Santa knows that even if I’m not always the best behaved I am the most Perfect Pitty on the planet!

Our Auntie Hamsa sent us this wish all the way from India that sums up my feelings entirely.

Sending all of you the love that is always in my heart. Even for the stinking Gizz.
