Oh dear! Well, I got her attention anyway with my gotcha! lololol Her is a brat! lolololol hugs

2009*5*2 1215edt… Mornin’ Bear

Welcome home, LJ! Brat!

Welcome home all of mine, Welcome home! Get your buns in here and dry off! I know it’s miserable out there today, but we do need the rain.

I can hear the creek rumbling out back… Are the flatland creeks flooding? Any flash flood warnings out yet? Hmm… We are survivors here in the mountains…

My mountain takes good care of me and, best of all, she understands me… I would give her a name but I don’t want to be presumptuous with my Lady. Maybe she wouldn’t mind if I affectionately gave her an old Greek name. I’ll need to ponder on this for a bit…I certainly don’t want to offend my Lady, the mountain. Maybe I can just call her M’lady. Yup, think I will…

I’m gonna be cautious here and say that I think things are getting back to normal… for me normal, that is. I do have one small, itty bitty problem tho. Lolol It seems I am no longer able to write a business type letter! Lolol Truth!

The harder I’ve tried to straighten up and be politically correct, the worse the letters have become! They’ve all started lookin’ like the NEWS! This is not cool when you are writing to your Congressman! Oh dear! I’m crackin’ up here… lololol

I should mention that I lost my blue coffee mug…again.. somewhere here in these environs! Lordy, I am getting more absent minded all the time! Well, I finally found old blue mug! In the basement.. On the ‘soap’ table! Lololol Ol Blue was full of green and grey fuzzies. Yucky pucks! Well, I brot her upstairs and gave her a good cleaning! Soap and bleach and everything.

Told y’all about changing my necklace… The carnelian Dragon? Dragon weighs a ton. I’ve decided so does ‘anger’. I know better, but I lost my cool for a while anyway. Humor always works better for me… Well, most of the time anyway! The spam problem might be fixed. I sent out my group email yesterday and haven’t gotten any nastygrams yet… Keeping fingers crossed.

Let’s see here… I have BABY PEACHES! The tree outside the ramp is covered with little ones. All over the place! YES! And I have wild geraniums growing alongside the ramp too. The lilacs are finally open… smell sooooo good. I’ve discovered more dogwood out back… and I can no longer see the far hill behind the house.

Everything is GREEN! All the trees are leafing out and a lovely gentle rain is falling. Life is good.

Oh yeah, Body Butter! LOLOL Today, I smell like Hot Cocoa! Crackin’ up again!

Oh, almost forgot… Onecrazydoglady’s hubby, the sainted GG, had surgery yesterday. Came thru with flying colors… Repairs to shoulder went just fine… will need therapy but he’ll be back to his rotten self in no time at all! Lolol Surely you didn’t think I was gonna be nice to him, did you?

To be serious for a moment… I want to thank all of you for your moral support. I needed it badly. Love you all!

Oh dear! The Spudley is whining and carrying on behind me… I just turned around to look! My bed covers are on the floor… Spud and Max are under them… ‘talking’ to the kittens! Come out! Come out! We know you are under there! Lolol Oh well, I need to change the bedding anyway!

Or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/532587- Explorer-4-2-9

The Explorer is Delilah… lolol

I’d best get going… The bedding awaits and so does the kitchen floor! The floor is starting to turn the same color as my orange underwear. The 6 pack+ came in sopping wet and covered with our lovely rusty orange clay. AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! I hate scrubbing the kitchen floor!

Take care all of mine, go in safety always. Remember each day is a new adventure! Take your waders and your waterwings with you!

Many hugs and much love… the finally wide awake meems

2009*5*3 1021est G’mornin Bear

Hugs LJ

Mornin’ everybody. Have wall to wall drizzle and rain here today. Coolish but I can still leave the door and windows open… Fresh flowers in the air… yummy aromas floating thru.



or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/532588-Spud- still-on-duty

However, for me, this is sleepy weather…I would join the 6pack+ in/on the bed but my spot has been taken by the Spudley and the Newbie! With Spud, there’s room; with Newbie there ain’t. lolol I swear to you, the Newbie is still growing. Or else the room is shrinking. With me, all things are possible. Lolololol

Tomorrow, I will be gone and off line… Into town to see Kim. Hope the lowlands aren’t flooded. Instead of driving the truck, maybe I should take the ark. Get out the oars, kids. Rowing time… lolol

I still itch…have red itchie bumps all over… Maybe Kim can prescribe something that will help and not make me drunk.

I think I shall wear my Apple Cider Body Butter tomorrow… I’ll have men chasing me all over town! Crackin’ up and gots the giggles on this one! Or how bout Gumdrop. Or a combination of both? I’ll be irresistible! Wowser… I think I’m gonna get a lot of mileage out of this one gift! Lololol I’d best stay out of bars (dry county) and off street corners. (already taken, all 4 of them). Greater downtown doesn’t even have a regular traffic light. We do, however, have a flashing stop lite at the one 3 way stop.

I’ve been given a tip that the IRS has issued a new and screwed up tax base for next year. I gonna be watching this one carefully… Oh yeah!

Off and running, me… working on painting and still have (yucky pucks) laundry to do.

Take care all of mine… Go in safety always. Remember to keep an eye on your tax money…

Many hugs and much love…. meems

2009*5*6 0505hrs..G’mornin Bear….

Mornin’ all of mine…come on in...Coffee’s hot; I’m not! Nobody should be up at this ungodly hour of the morning. NOBODY!

Wall to wall fog out there right now or else the ceiling is running around on the bottoms.

I GOT MY LETTER! Poor Kim…lolol I disrupt the office help! Started out my visit to town in high good form! It’s all Jessie’s fault! She, like Anna, are very bad influences on me. Would these lovely green eyes lie to you? Flutter, bat, wink… Oh yeah, sure would! Lolol And here you thot I was going to mellow into a fine wine…

The wine has an ‘h’ added to it and I’m more like vinegar! Shut up Marv… don’t even think it…

Well, Jessie comes to get me. I throw the panda painting in the back seat, climb in and off we go… down the mountain. Jessie: “buckle up.. hang on..road’s bad…elec poles leaning over road.” All the way down the road. She was very nervous…oh dear! I hate to say sumfin nice about her, but she is a very good driver. Gotcha Jess!

I intended to take pix of anything we saw, damage-wise, as we went along.. I forgot and left the camera in the Apartment. Well, ratz!

Anyway, in the two mile stretch from the house to the main route, I saw at least a dozen mud slides on the high side of the road…three of them major. Of the three, two slides were at/around the elec poles. This is not good! I wrote the numbers down. Dropped them off in the Judge Magistrate’s office in the courthouse later.

Oh my gosh… KY river was out of its banks in several spots.. Many of the plowed fields were wiped out but the flooding creeks. Many, various locations here in the county, were without water. The flash floods had exposed and damaged the new water lines. (I’m keeping my lovely well!) Many places the roads were covered with clay mud from the slides. More hills will give way in the next few weeks. They are slumping already. It never stopped raining either…

No downpour, just a steady drizzle… No wind! The wind gods will dry the land more quickly than dry air or sun.

Jessie’s place is a typical example of flash flood damage and the aftermath… She has power and phone but, the culvert to the main road washed away. She couldn’t get to the main road on Monday. The county fixed that pretty much on Monday. Yesterday, half her road, which had been undercut by the force of the water, collapsed. She drove around the side of the hill at a steep angle to get out to come pick me up. We take care of each other here in the mountains.

Neighbors check on neighbors and help where they can. Many are still marooned even tho they sit high on the mountain sides. Them drop-offs are mighty steep when the land is unstable. And the creeks haven’t stopped roaring yet; the river is still rising.

Keep fingers crossed for me… If those elec poles go down, I am out of elec and water myself for who knows how many days or weeks.

False dawn… I hear my rooster crowing. Lolol Life do go on. The fog is starting to lift and I can see the trees now. Was a solid wall of white earlier.

Tune in tomorrow for the adventures in town. I was a baaaaaaad girl!

Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to care for your neighbors and friends. They are most important!

Many hugs and much love… the slightly bedraggled meems

EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS
posted about 3 hours ago
2009*5*7 1312hrs… G’day Bear

OMG! People tell my I am still here for a reason… Still pondering on what it might be!

To listen to the Spudley talking to the kittens who are hiding just out of reach under the bed? To fall out of the swinging chair again? (which I did!) Slid right off the edge of the cushion (yup, the one I glued myself to) roughhousing with the boys! Meems fall down and go boom! I would say I was starkers but I only do that when I go outside to do laps…or not! Take some of this with a large grain of salt!

The critters have been bringing in Bones again… Deer and turkey…Have a breast bone on the back porch right now and all kinds of leg bones running all over the house. Best keep your shoes on…them bones will poke you and they hurt! Trust me they do! I swear that I found a human finger bone on the bathroom floor… but I must do some research first. Don’t panic anybody… lolol I know it’s gross but these things happen in the mountains! At least it wasn’t a skull!

LOLOL I saw some blue sky for a few minutes this morning. The storm gods woke me up during the nite. Thunder and lightning rolling down the hollar non-stop for about a half hour. Let me tell ya, them boys was up there playing with a vengeance. Impressive! Very impressive! And I just heard one of my flyguys go over… Couldn’t see him tho. Clouds are hanging low… I did the palms up gesture (I can’t see you ) and waved anyway. Ratz, it’s been a week at least since I’ve been flashed! We still have more rain coming in later today!

What else? Oh the trip to town… lolol Oh dear. I was on a roll! Seems like two of the gals who work at Kim’s office had to take a college course (no Credits) on art. Give a critique. Take a trip to a Lexington museum … choose a painting and do their thing on paper.

Well, using their smarts, they decided to go next door to the Action Team, view some of my paintings and use them as the subject matter of their papers. Oh dear… They said they were expecting A’s on their papers.

I tutored Rodney, over on Cow Creek, for an art class and we got a B+. How’m I doing, kids? Lololol Rodney and Nikki are getting married in June. She and I have fought over the boy ever since we met.. lolol She is quite the young lady… I begrudgingly gave my approval of the match! Lololol He’s a little young even by my standards… Late twenties, early thirties maybe. Ladies, you’d drool over him… Oh yeah!

Well, Kim… gives up when I am visiting… lolol Can you believe she says I’m impossible but very analytical? Does she know me well or what?

Any how, she wrote the letter for me as I watched. Lolol “did I need anything?” A rich man? She threw me out!

Well, I take the letter and stagger down to the Action Team office…Yeah, I am still having bouts with vertigo. Go in the door and there’s a whole room full of people having a luncheon…Wowser, I hate doing that…

Anyway… Pogo comes to meet me… gave her the letter… she made copies… I spoke with Molly, the Boss Lady for a few… tormented one of the men there… Would I do that? And split… Off to the Courthouse!

We headed to Sid’s office and eventually got there.. Jess signed the paper for my bond… I signed my name and they waved me into the position! That was my swearing in… I think and we all cracked up…Did I mention I wore the Strawberry Body Butter? Thought maybe the Gingerbread and Apple Cider might be too much for the boys in town to handle!

(The rain is pouring right now..coming in from the west)

Back to Sid’s office!… I was right about the body butter cause I really made the Sheriff’s day…or not! Gots the giggles just thinking about it! Lolol

Kelly and his wife came into Sid’s… Kell came over and stood next to me. The devil made me do it, honest…

Wellllllllllll, I sorta did the bump with my hip… slid my arm around his waist… Looked up at that purty face and……… With my sexiest voice, I asked if I could play with his pistol!

Sid fell out of his chair.. (I’ve never seen him laff that hard before) Barb almost choked; Kell’s wife cried… and Kell turned purple! That’s not the first time I’ve done that to him!… Caused him to turn purple… He’s just a slow learner! Gotcha Kell! LOLOLOL And Jessie just dropped her head and shook it like “I can’t believe she said that”!

Jess and I decided to leave…(read we were shoved out the door by all involved). Doors locked behind us! Lololol Ain’t gonna work, them locked doors… We shall return!

Best get going… I am running very late. Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to stay away from greater downtown Booneville if I am running loose! Lolol

Many hugs and much love… the gonna get arrested yet meems

2009-5-9 1417 hours Herro, Bear!

Ok! If the weather straightens up (ever) I promise that I will never be nice to the storm gods again! Nor will I ever never again visit Storm god weather Center! Sheesh! Complain about the weather, will you? WE’LL show you some weather! And they did!

Oh dear… the small community of Lerose is wiped out. It sat on the flood plain and, in my opinion, at one time was the original route of the south fork of the KY river. Well, it’s gone now…

I just tried to call a friend who lives out that way… phone seems to be working but got no answer.

I’ve had visitors and phone calls like crazy… Checking to see if I was OK. This is soooo sweet. I have such good people/friends here.

I’m too cautious to walk down the road today even tho I sure do want to go look. I still have the dizzies… and it is not fun trying to walk while your brain acts like an off centered gyroscope!

I’ve received all kinds of pms and emails from my good friends on eons… thank you for caring… I won’t start with the names. You know who you are, and I love you all for thinking of me.

Let’s see here… one emergency isn’t enuf, right? The Marv spent some time yesterday in ER… He’s ok but he scared the hell out of me… yes, I am cussing here. Take my eyes off him for a second and he can get into more trouble! If I could work it into my schedule right now, I’d beat him to death just for the fun of it! I’ve earned the right!



or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/537777-Hail- and-bottle-cap

Poor pix but maybe give you an idea of the hail sizes. It melted very quickly… the bottle cap will give some idea of scale. On the right side of the cap is a lenticular shape with appendages. This piece was bigger than a quarter when I brot it into house. Had some round ones larger than a pea… others were a smooth lenticular shape about the size of a nickel. I’ve never seen any shaped like this until I moved here…

NNKeith and Mary spent some time in the basement… not funny but it is in a way.
Mary calls..ok to come over… tornado touched down not too far from us… Get your buns over here.

All the madness and mayhem going on and I am blissfully involved in working on the painting of the Lady with the flag.

Well, I decide I’d best quit painting… I clean my brushes and stuff… then go to the side door… NNKeith and Mary arrived … Mary headed for the basement… NNKeith and I stood at the side door and observed. No ground level wind up here to speak of but I watched the clouds… watched them a hustling thru the trees on the crests of the surrounding hills

I could hear the creek a roaring.



or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/210814-Start- of-a-new-holler

I also heard the roar of a tornado as it bounced over my hollar. Oh yeah… it was THE storm… not the first tornado I’ve heard. I didn’t say anything to the neighbors at the time… (told Mary today tho) Any way, lots of damage and rumors of a couple of deaths within a couple of miles of my location…
Snakes are out and about… lots of them flooded out of there hidey-holes. It’s also breeding season and them critters get a little testy in the spring…

I did get out for a while yesterday between the storms and get a few things planted. The heat and humidity gave new meaning to the word ‘oppressive’! I had the dizzies a couple of times and finally had to sit in the weeds to plant some of the bulbs. I did manage, however to NOT fall or slide into the pond! Not sure if that was a good thing or not. By the time I came back inside, I was a dirty and odiferous mess!

I think I gonna take the rest of today and tomorrow off, kids… Unless sumfin else pops up… Lordy pete… I believe I am getting too old for this kind of stuff… or not… and here I was afraid I might be bored out here in the wilds!

This too shall pass… Take care all of mine… go in safety always… Remember to build on high ground if you can… And STAY there…

Many hugs and much love… meems

2009/5/11 1544hrs G’day Bear….

Below is the latest update from the New York Times ref the most recent deaths of ours.

www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/world/ middleeast/12iraq.html?_r=1&hp

I am so sorry all of mine. This is terrible and so painful. Please, dear hearts, seek help when these awful emotions boil just under the surface… I care deeply and so do others who have been there. You are NOT alone! Hugs and love…emom

Just a short note/update. Weather has settled some. Lots of damage in the Lerose area…Flooding, wind damage…And a minor earthquake (a 1 +/-) was reported in southeastern KY on Friday morning.

I woke this morning with bronchitis… sorry, it ain’t funny, but it is!

The mail box was full of ants and their eggs again… Next time I see ants in the mail box, I will also be expecting a flood of biblical proportions!

Hugs and much love to all of mine… meems

2009-5-12 0900 hrs… Mornin’ Bear

Oh Dear… I turned on the TV and what do I see on the screen? The Golden Girls! LOLOL I think I am in real trouble here! I fall out of the chair at some of the stuff they say and get into. They remind me of somebody I know very well. Oh yeah!

Gonna be another busy day… Jessie and the sainted Gary will be over to bush hog the yard! The grass is knee deep and Lily complains every time she goes out in the yard. In fact, she sorta disappears. The Lilyputz ain’t very tall! She don’t like this new jungle business…She looks like an unmade bed to begin with and now she is a bedraggled unmade bed!

Speaking of beds, when I rolled out this morning it was a yummy 50 degrees.. good sleeping weather… The small critters were curled up and toasty warm… I threw the covers and caution aside and climbed out.. Turned around to make the bed… Well, straighten it anyway.

Surprise, surprise… lolol I’m throwing the covers one at a time. Found Delilah and Bunky between different layers of the covers. Remove said critters and finish making the bed. Then, the Pyggs crawls out from under the pillow… rearranges the covers and goes back to sleep. Thank you, Pyggs. I don’t know why I even bother.

Must be the weather or sumfin… When I opened the back door, in comes the Newbie. Hey MOM! Mornin’ MOM! Do I get a goodie? Huh huh? Lolol Do I? Lolol Well, he starts to do his doggy dance… I join him… I stomp my feet… Newbie bounces up and down and spins around… The rest of the critters sit back and watch the show… There we are, in the middle of the kitchen, dancin’ up a storm. Him a grinnin’ and me just a giggling. I’ve lost my mind. LOLOL What a way to start the day!

Need I mention the ‘fall out’ from this critter? He is doing his summer shed! I’ve gotten a whole nother dog from the Newbs.. He sheds in sheets… I sat outside yesterday and started removing the slabs of loose fur… Sheesh…Not near finished but it was a start.

Keep fingers crossed, kids… I received a call yesterday to remind me of meeting with USDA Rep. Tomorrow at 1130 hrs. Remind? Remind?!? I have received no notifications of the upcoming meeting. Seems I was supposed to be notified by mail and was not.

Need to get scooting … Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. Remember it takes a long time to paint and patch an old barn, me.

Many hugs and much love… meems

2009-5-14 1422hrs… Herro Bear! Lolol

Well kids… I’m up… on my FIRST cup of coffee… Almost 2:30 pm and just on my first cup?!? Sheesh!

Made it to town early for the meeting yesterday. Took my time and looked around a lot on the way in. Roads were clear of debris but the hillsides are a mess. Large slabs of trees inching their way down the slopes. Mud slides all over the place. A trailer without a roof. (About 3 miles from me). Abandoned houses nothing but piles of splintered wood. Barns, sheds and warmhouses without roofs… One warmhouse with no roof and the windows blown out.

In one spot on Rte. 11 ( the river route) were two huge stones… One was about 4x4x10’;
it had been moved back against the base of the drop-off. Trees downed by the wind or by the rush of flooding waters. Pools were scoured out on the low side of many of the culverts… roads undercut. Low lying fields smooth as glass, not a furrow to be seen… washed clean.

The meeting: What can I say…Knee deep in paper work…lots of questions… sort of tried to catch me in a lie. I kept myself under control… You can call me a lot of things but I am not a liar! If I sometimes cannot remember the truth, how in the hell am I expected to remember a lie??? Sorry… I think I am a little stressed!

Well, anyway, the Rep accepted the Doctor’s letter… I signed some papers… and that was it! Meeting over! Still hanging by a ’definite maybe’ thread! I am so tired.

I don’t think I can fight another battle like this…

Jessie and the sainted Gary came over late afternoon to cut the grass. Was 2200hrs when they left and there is still more grass to go…and the trim. We had more rain last nite.

A good thing! I have six baby chicks out back! Cute fuzzy lil doodles.. Doodles is what they call chicklets down here. Mama hen was outside the pen when I spotted them this morning… I have no idea how she got out but there she was by the roll of hay…trying to keep 6 brats under control… lololol Toooo cute.

I tried to get her back into the safety of the pen. Uh uh honey. Mama wasn’t buying a nickels worth of me…period! Mama gathered up the little ones and herded them in to a clump of wild roses. Well, meems wasn’t gonna get into the middle of bunch of wild roses… Stalemate!

I finally climbed the slope and came back into the house. Left the gate open and the last time I looked, she and the little ones were inside the pen. Need to go down and close the gate in a few.

Will try and get some pix later today.
Guess that’s it for the time being… gonna take a nap. Take care all of mine.. go in safety always.

Many hugs and much love… meems

2009-5-16 1141hrs Mornin’ Bear…

Marbled sky.. hot, humid and miserable out there… Sheesh… I am hard to please weather-wise. However, when I start to grow green and purple fuzzies, I’ve had enuf! Lolol The toadstools are drowning…the ants are nesting in the trees… The crows are complaining and the squirrels are moving up hill.

Had lots of rain yesterday… pea sized hail.. Winds… did I mention lots of rain? Streams of water running thru the yard. Lots of rain… Cloud to cloud lightning and lots of rain… The apartment full of critters who didn’t want to stay outside.

Got this from the JC this morning… lololol

“Answer me first then forward to your friends!!! Or copy and paste.
If you saw ME in a police car what would you think I got arrested for?
Reply to me, alone, then fwd this on and see how many crimes you get
accused of. “
Crackin’ up…I sent this by email to few people. Decided not to try and send this by pm… would take forever but here it is for your pleasure! lololol I’ll publish the responses I received in tomorrow’s news. If you want to send me the funniest ones YOU receive, I’ll try to post them also. Lolol
Well, I finally managed to survive the trip to town on Wednesday. I really was exhausted. Heaven forfende, I think my age is starting to catch up with me.. Did I just say that? Nah, must have been somebody else making an ‘old person’ remark.
The six pack plus loved it tho.. lolol They curled up with the emom and napped right along with me.
Then there’s the destroying felines of Demonia! Lolol OMG! You have no idea how much trouble these two critters can get into… no effort at all involved.

Here’s another one… lolol

or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/542077-On- Alert-

Maybe I should have named these two Rough and Ready. Would give a whole new meaning to R&R (Rest and Relaxation) lolol

Today is Armed Forces day. Say a prayer…Send a thank you…or a remembrance to all of ours who have served and to those who are still serving to protect our shores. Take care all of mine… go in safety always.

Many hugs and much love to all my dear hearts… meems

2009-5-19 1239hrs. Herro, Bear….

Remember the other day… “What was I arrested for?” Lolol Well, have I got some responses for you! Oh yeah!

Marv…”crazy in public”
Cheryl…”too much vanilla or rum extract”
Oldhippy…”Jaywalking” (I’m not gonna ask!)
LittleJake…”who said you were arrested?”

The Boss…a remark about “water boarding the neighbors” Would I do sumfin like that?

The Boss…”Exceeding the age limit” (Heads up Boss! You are in deep dew dew!)

And this one, just in today, from the Pogo!….

“So...I guess that is it....

No...wait that can't be it.....this will be the next entry in the
Booneville Sentinel...Three Forks Jail Report....

"Paula J Rice, Island City, KY arrested May 11, 2009, terroristic
threatening to the USDA Centralized Servicing Center. Ms. Rice was found
at her house running around outside wearing nothing but a red robe, hair
crazed...holding a telephone in one hand while holding a pistol in the
other. Ms Rice proceeded to start shooting said pistol in the air....and
started yelling stupid payment subsidy forms...I'll show them!"

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! That is why you will be in a police car.

I cannot stop laughing....

Love you!
POGO…”

Do I have a reputation to uphold or what?!? Lolol Pogo is a Brat! Looks like I’m never gonna live down the ‘red robe’ incident! Good grief!

Ya know, I was always good in an emergency, still am unless it is MY emergency! Not funny, but it is. Whenever my basic securities are under attack, I immediately panic. Even tho I know this panic is non-productive, I still will be to do it! I am allowed to be human. My friends on and off Eons gave me the emotional support I needed. Love you all and thank you. I’m still on an emotional roller-coaster but even that is starting to level off. I know that I am NOT alone…and that I have survived worse.

Still waiting for a response to my appeal…Long time to hold your breath and I look so bad in that shade of purple…

Let’s see here… Oh yeah…the destroying angels of Demonia have been at it with a vengeance! My gosh! What they haven’t done is not worth mentioning…Can you say coffee knocked off work table in the apartment. Climbing up the swinging chair or my leg or or or… them little nails hurt! Then there’s the walking on the printer and setting 7 blanks sheets thru the printer system. (printer now has new appendage, a set mouse trap!)
Oh, climbing the swinging chair..onto my shoulder then onto the top of my head. Squalling loudly does not deter the Dangels. Ow, ow, ow, ouchie doesn’t get it done either.

I think if I died right now, the Coroner would ask if I was into self mutilation! You should see my poor arms and hands…Talk about your scars!… Wouldn’t trade a one of them… Puppy teeth and claws, kitty teeth and claws… Pedro, panama parrot, claws..
Scars from an attack by a really big Airdale. (well, this one I could do without). What else… an attack by a pair of very protective Blue Jays… Pinches from small fiddler crabs. Being knocked silly accidently by my horse. Have you ever been ‘finned’ by a fish? That’s fun too. Pecked by a broody hen who is protecting her doodles? Attacked by a very angry gander. I could have done without this one too!



or view link www.eons.com/photos/photo/541602-2-9-5- 14

Oh and before I forget, I now have two little boy tarpins (box turtles) in the aquarium. Took one away from the Spudley on Sunday…he chewed part of the shell away. Then yesterday, I found one on the back porch… Spudley again? This one wasn’t as badly chewed. Well, I’ll feed and treat them…turn them loose when they are healed. More mouths to feed… I’ll swear, I must have a magnet attached to me somewhere…

While I’m at it, I think somebody has attached a GPS locator to me… do they work with magnets?

Any way… meems has to get scooting… Lady of the flag is still waiting… and I have some tomato plants to set out… Painting comes first… If I don’t work on it soon, I will lose the ‘fire’ that goes with the work…

Take care all of mine…Go in safety always. Remember to never ask ‘why’… that way lies madness! Lolol

Many hugs and much love… the ground zero emom/meems lolol
