Sweet Hey-Suess and more

Some interesting sights along the way... top most photo is a "goose barn, " which was very cute. There was loads of snow covered geese outside (a "gaggle" you might say.) The owner of the house, I presume, was pulling 3 goats in an attempt to move their location, but they weren't havin' it. Photo below that, well, it's an old time camper, what can I say?


Well, my weary wagon FINALLY got herself an inspection sticker. With the help of a little duct tape, a sweet (and forgiving) mechanic way the hell out in Hollis, and perhaps the presence of "Our lady of Guadalupe," ( a "dark-skinned virgin," as she's called, on an air freshener I bought at an auto parts store just before inspection and swung proudly from my rear view mirror) ol' Libby-poo is legal 'til August. Sweet is right.

Grandma's picture

I know, you're all probably sick to death with photos taken of my various heirloom's and such...but here's another one you. (Well, for my Mom really...since she is a BA-ZILLION miles away and won't be back in "God's country" to see it, for awhile.) I recently rearranged my room and decided to place my paternal Grandmother's picture above my bed. My mom told me, her and my dad carried it all the way from my Grandparents farm in Nebraska on a train back to Mass. And, thankfully, here it sits. Whattaya think, Ma?
Even dear ol' Sammy-poo approves.

Makin' "aht"

I spent an afternoon letting the "creative juices" flow, as they say, which I haven't done in quiet awhile. Anyway, it was fun...I painted, I sketched...

I even made a new friend and plan to name her Sue. (She's a "soon-to-be" elephant, by the way.)

Safe travels for the snowbirds

Well, Ma and Pa Kettle (and Bear) are soon to be "on the road again." Leaving Palermo anytime now, hauling above pictured rig, en route to warmer weather (not to mention, cheap "pink drinks", all-you-can-eat oysters and bikini clad spring breakers!) Of course, I'm just being a big baby and will miss them madly. May the road rise to meet you...I'll see ya soon. oxoxox

A work shin-dig

On Sunday, I threw another Stonewall pot luck. This time, the roomies were there too. I made super mushy shephard's pie, over roasted carrots and blackened corn muffins. While Sarah and Dudley Irwin, got together and serenaded us with a tune or two.



Even Sammy got into it this time. Wild kitty.

Visit from an old friend

My dear friend Meg made a stopover this weekend, all the way from BI. She caught me up on all the happenings on "the rock." The stories of lore she told, as we used to say when I lived there, "you can't make this s**t up!" Quite a place.

Sammy poo, thrilled w/ the world

Here's a cat photo for ya, Ms. Hoge!
