Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect.

Oh what joy!

Granny has gone to prison so Dad is taking care of me and the stinking Grey Gizz. Not sure he’s so happy about that part of the deal! The old stinker is hard work!!!!

Dad’s really short on the walks which is fine for me because it means lots more time in bed. We lie in late, eat a lot more than usual and then we go back for a long siesta.

Dad is my type of guy. I love to model everything he does. I’m thinking of a TAT like he has.

What should I write? Beautiful Bones?

It’s hair-raisingly horrible how hateful it is to get up at 5:00AM

Dark and cold and damp to boot.

I’m strong though. Right in there to smack Ma one on the nose and tell her how much I love her. I cuddled up close all night too like a weighted blanket.

No matter what she looks like I tell her she’s divine.

It’s starting to rub off on her because now when she gets a spam call about Medicare she tells the people she’s 24!!

That’s what lots of love does for you.

Well the day has come for Kairos Team 54 to start their weekend at the Ohio Reformatory for Women.

There are many other weekends starting too. Most are in the USA but some are in South Africa and Australia.

Isn’t that amazing that this ministry is active as we speak all over the world.

Offer up a special little prayer for all those selected by the Chaplains in these places to be participants.

Think also of the niece and me as we will be in the hands of the bro for our sorties!!

Our new printer that the bro bought for Ma is getting a great workout.

Each time Ma thinks everything is the final version a new event happens and she has to redo. The equivalent of a marathon of paper must have been used by now.

Her nerves are a little frayed so to decompress at night before bed she has to watch her favorite movies and TV shows.

There is only so much of Escape to the Country or The Crown that even she can take so it was that we were subjected once more to Chariots of Fire.

If I hear that Vangelis music again I’m going to chase the nearest jogger till he faints.

The colors are kinda fiery around here at present.

Lots of reds and oranges mixing in with the wood making things very cosy.

It’s a little chilly out so it’s tempting to snuggle under the covers but we gotta get going and see the leaves falling.

We did a little nature study just for you and brought some home. Funny how all the trees have different shapes hews. Why is that?

Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a ride out to the country for the peak before the corn is cut.

I’m late on the Banter today as my PA was otherwise occupied with revisions to her schedule for the weekend.

After our morning trot she called one of her teammates this morning with a question and thank goodness she did.

They walked through the 29 page schedule one item at a time.

Thursday was good!

Friday had one or two tweaks but man had Ma messed up on Saturday. She forgot all about the general distribution of cookies to all 2600 inmates at the prison that take two hours.

Oops.

They were on the phone for two hours. Even the PIT was paralyzed my the length of the conversation.

In the end though they got it done.

Blessing#1856-A Friend Indeed

It was a horrible day for me yesterday. Ma got us up at 5:30 as she had the last of her team formation meetings for Kairos this one being in the prison.

She said it was a dress rehearsal for the weekend that I should prepare myself!

She took me out for a pee before she left but it was pitch black and pouring into the bargain.

The bro was left in charge of the niece and me but he only walks us a few inches which is insufficient to mobilize my intestines. He only cares about his child and she poops as soon as she is out the door.

Consequently I had to hold on until Ma returned at 4:30. Agony!!

Ma said I better get used to it because it will be worse when the weekend starts and she won’t be home till 9:00!

Maybe I’ll have to take a little extra fiber to get things moving faster or maybe I’ll go on hunger strike. A little prayer and fasting is good for the soul they say!

Auntie Denise is back so she’s helping us capture some morning adventures.

When we meet her the sun is just coming up.

It was quite spectacular last morning. Here’s her pic!

Just as well there was light in the sky when you see the critter that spooked us out in a neighbors yard.

The niece wanted to get it. Stupid child!!!!

As you can see it’s probably four times the size of Ma.

My feeling was to hold back just in case it happened to have a go at us. With all this talk of Aliens you have to be sure it’s not an invasion!

The competition for the scariest spectacle is not yet over, there is always the « anything you can do I can do better » vibe around here but this will be hard to beat in terms of stature.

Blessing#1854-Howling horror

Ma is always on the look out for little signs from above especially when she is under pressure!

The butterfly bushes at the tearooms are still blooming and bring her joy.

It’s especially cool when there is a butterfly on them but she got such a cool surprise when one was hovering around her sign.

In a few seconds it moved towards the door handle while she watched.

You couldn’t make it up.

Thankfully it was a poser so stuck around long enough for her to get its picture.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect and I’m totally exhausted.

Dad captured my condition perfectly last evening in my favorite place of repose underneath his bed.

This time of year there are so many deer around it clean wears me out chasing them.

When I come home I’m all fired up so I chase the Grey Gizz too. He’s not nearly as fun but I love winding him up!

By the time evening comes and dinner is digesting I give up the ghost and collapse.

The ugliness thinks I’ve past on so he administers mouth to mouth. That stirs me to make the trek to the second floor for peace in my own chambers.

Nothing like a good sleep to keep me looking like the Princess I am!
