Today's Guest Blogger is Reggie!

I don't know if there has ever been such a beloved stuffed fox.
My father shot this gorgeous animal years and years ago......
MY dad is an avid outdoorsman. He hunts, fishes, shoots at skeets......
I Love the outdoors because of him. He took us camping and I saw him clean
many a pheasant in the garage on Sundays after he came home from hunting....

BUT,
we started calling this fox Reginald or Reggie and he is now
a long loved strange and only my family would understand kind of guy.

My father turned 80 yesterday . My dad leaves the grease board up every day
to help my mom keep track of the date. I always draw on the board when I am
over. I leave my own tidbits for the day, "It is Elvis' birthday" Or some such nonsense.

So it seemed fitting that I find Reggie in my dad's office and bring him to
the party last night. He is such a routine thing around our house, I don't think
anyone even noticed Reggie in the kitchen.

Well, Perhaps Peter did. AL's Peter is new to our strange family quirks.
Peter has a great sense of humor. This sort of family behavior might frighten
the calmest of significant others....but not Pete!

My parents are always telling us to tell them what we want when they pass away.
I have only asked for one thing....
Reggie.

Happy Birthday DAD, even though you dont read the blog!

He's so nice! But I don't know if I'd want him hanging around... though I bet he's a pet I could keep in my college dorm! :P

Happy birthday to your Dad!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
