Backstory: my 72 year old Mother went with her friend to the local casino b/c they sent a coupon for a free steak…at the Chippendale’s 5 p.m. show.

We had a good time Saturday, the show was hilarious, g-string only, thank God!  Never heard so many screaming women, sex starved, I guess, Ha!  Got a headache from the loud music and screaming..we were home by eight o’clock, was so tired yesterday, just can’t do that anymore, too old!!
went over to Cam’s around 3:30 yesterday to see Darcy swim in his new little pool ! took Lady and she behaved..then stayed til around six as Cam put the movie, Indiana Jones in to have me listen to the surround sound – really great!
Will grocery shop this morning – tomorrow will go to lunch with the bridge foursome, then play at Linda’s – look forward to it as haven’t seen them this summer.
Talk to you later!  Love you mucho, Mom

We kept smelling something horrible in the garage and we thought that maybe a mouse had come in and died or something like that. Well, guess what it was?  Rockefella’s old cat litter. When you cleaned out his litter box you put it in a bag and placed it in a trash can that Dad doesn’t use often because we never have enough trash to fill up all three. Anyway, Rockafella’s liter has been in our garbage can since you all were here on Memorial Weekend. Yep! Smelling good times!! With all of that heat last week things were really smellin’ good. Ha! Ha!

Mom

Backstory: I got a new puppy.

Hi!  How is life as a parent?  Did puppy keep you up last night?

I’m thinking of my grandma name.  I’m thinking that I’m either Nina or Honey.  Dad is Papa. Nina is the name of the Diane Keaton character in Father of the Bride, and she becomes a grandma in the second movie.

Honey is what everyone called Amy’s mom.  Amy’s kids just copied their grandpa when he yelled for her.

If you have heard of another good grandma replacement, let me know.  Puppy probably won’t be saying the word…but he will be thinking it.

The baby shower should be fun.  Sometimes they are silly, but it’s a happy event.  I’ve only been to a couple myself.  Everyone sits around and chats, there’s  food, and the honoree opens presents and every one oohs and aahs. I love the hat idea – there are so many cute hats now. You don’t have to limit your choice to “newborn” size, babies grow fast enough that you can buy a larger size and they’ll grow into it.

Well, it’s late so must get some sleep.  Tomorrow I take the beast in for a nail trim and grooming.  She looks really cute now, short of sheep-like except for the ears and tail, but is felting.

Much love, mom

I love chichis. I got stuck on them when I was a kid. I met a fox terrier & never imagined that there were dogs that stayed like puppies. Or maybe I like them cause they’re baby size.  Ricky sleeps under my stomach & it feels like Im preggers! Is that weird? Hope I made u laff. I was thinking it may be more fun if u came down here cause we could either go 2 the boardwalk (for a bagel) or beach, and/or u can take a spin around the lake on my bike. You never feel like a nerd on a bike here cause there’s plenty other bikes riding around. I always obey the rules of the road & dont look conspicuous. I would never bike on a main road ever. Mommy Miss U!:) PS Im thinking of maybe getting a chichi from the shelter? Wat do u think. Maybe its just more things to trip over. Id like a Skippy size one that won’t kill Poquita. Shes going to fight w/ anything that comes home. I better not.

What a day. Arlo and a boxer ran into my knee last night and I can hardly walk today. Your dad can’t find his wallet and we had to cancel all cards, etc. this morning. My boss is back from a shaman weekend where he experienced his won death and was brought back as a new clean identity (?)and is frankly a bit out of it. I’ve seen mushrooms have the same effect….where’s the candid camera and is 8:30am to early to start drinking???
