Putting Out The Herd

Hopefully it will not be freezing your fingers cold this weekend, so mom can finish putting up the Christmas lights and the "herd".

Dad wishes he could put a red light bulb on the lead reindeer's nose but mom says no! Sometimes she's boring like that. lol

Wordless Wednesday

Tattle Tale Tuesday

Today's Tattle is  a little different than normal. It involves PlusOne and Mom and LOUD FAST TALKING. It even looks a little like this.

Some of you may know that PlusOne is 15-1/2 yrs old. In NH, you can legally drive with your parents in the car if you are 15-1/2 yrs old. PlusOne has driven with Dad. I think it goes without saying that Dad is a lot CALMER than Mom in many things. This is one of them.

Saturday mom let PlusOne drive to karate. It was early (9:15 am) so mom figured it would be okay. Well, the first test came when PlusOne took a left turn onto a busier street. He hadn't pulled up quire enough to see a car coming from the right (over 1/2 block away) when he starting taking the turn. Mom's encouraging voice turned into "FLOOR IT GOGOGOGOGOGOGO NOW SLOW DOWN!!!!!!"
I am thankful I was at home sunning myself in a sunbeam because otherwise I think I would have bailed out!
Mom said the rest of the trip to karate was quite uneventful and PlusOne did very well slowing down for lights and staying in between the lines. She just thinks he needs a LITTLE (read LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS) more practice with turns. With Dad!

Dog Shaming

Dad found a website called Dog Shaming. It's where the dog owners post photos of their dogs confessing to their bad behavior. Mom and Dad say I belong on that website.

All I can say after seeing the above photo is "How can mom possibly think that the above photo compares in any way to the photo below!

Seriously, mom thinks that posting a photo of the bad things I do is even going to compare to some of those guys? One dog peed on a beach bather. What the heck? Even I am not that bad!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Mom started to put up Christmas lights yesterday. The sky was blue and the sun was shining, but the wind was howling and mom only got the fence lights up before her fingers froze and she came back inside to read in a sunbeam. I warmed her up by climbing in her lap. She liked it, I could tell. She may make another attempt today. We'll see how the weather holds up.

Slow Saturday

I see no reason to go running around like some people do on Saturday, so Lucky and I are taking it slow today. Seriously, why should we do anything else?
