For My Fans

I have had a few murmurs from the gallery about the dearth of my postings. Well, truth is I haven't had my Austin kids here for a while and the Houston ones have been away in Cabo and now are in Morroco. So I've had no fodder.
BUT, I got a few pics today and will post them mostly for the Weaverham contingent and also for all you other lurkers who seldom comment.

But who's Counting?

A smug post.



I was hugged today by Lindsey..(a smasher)....Graham (a choker), Paige, Steph, Beverly and Evelyn, (she said 'I missed you so")

And I had a massage from Wess.

I missed my Ink, Bink, CollyOlly and Anna.

Not bad overall though right?

Hide and Seek

Here's a quickie video. Nana is hiding and Evie is looking for her. (At the end I get a little excited because Evie's head comes too close to untrustworthy Patches.)



And these two were a little earlier.

Isthmus be my Lucky Day

Hurricane Ike blew out a bedroom window a little over a year ago. It took a while to pick up all the broken glass from the busted window. ( It exploded outwards from the upstairs bedroom!)
We had all the windows replaced and planted a few new bushes. Shortly afterwards I couldn't find my newest clip on sun glasses. Since then I've been on 5 or 6 cruises and had to use my old glasses which accommodate the old clip on sun glasses. A bit of a pain but workable.

Last Sunday my across the courtyard English neighbour, who is a non-stop workaholic, was outside sweeping up leaves. In the winter they accumulate around the bushes and our weekly gardening service does not ferret them out. Bob made nice little piles on his front grass area for the gardeners to haul away on Tuesday which is our regular gardeners day.

I watched him Sunday and took the day off.

Yesterday it rained all day but this morning after Patchie did her routine I decided to just flick the rake around the flower beds and make a minimal effort and make a few piles for the gardeners to haul away.

Good. I was just about finished when out comes Bob. He goes into a conversation about commercial real estate, monkey grass and financial planning. So I said " 'scuse me I got to go get the blower"

"Does yours have enough power" says Bob who has owned a chain of hardware stores throughout the U.S. and has two of everything.
Oh yes, Bob I said it's a Toro.

So he said bye and I went to get the blower.

It was a lovely morning about 65degrees and the work went well. With the blower funnel I was pushing past a difficult to move bush and saw a glint of glass. "Ah, some more broken window from Ike" I said to myself. Stopped the noise to pick it up and blimey it was my 'new' magnetized clip ons...

Just goes to show you that not every good deed goes unpunished. And the gardeners are here now picking up the mounds of leaves.

Chuy's Tonight

Our weekend with Colin and Anna is almost over. They're pretty easy to have. Nana loves it and is going to miss them a lot. Me, I'm a little older and need my quiet time. Know what I mean? Woah! They're non-stop energy.

We had a great day today although Colly Olly is suffering through some kind of allergy reaction. Late in the afternoon we went to the Walker's house and had some fun. Here's a picture as we were about to leave. I will also post lots more video as soon as it loads on YouTube.











Here's Steph pulling on LuLu's ear














After this big day Nana and I did not want to spend time in a restaurant so we ordered take-out from Chuy's and ate at home. Everyone was stuffed and Nana and I swore off food for a week.

Museum Visit and Sunday Morning.

Just some vids and pics from Saturday and Sunday......







It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.

Cousins.

Anna and Colin came to town Friday. Nana picked them up as she was returning from Waco. First thing they wanted to do was go to see their cousins.

Here is some of Friday's activity. Too bad I missed Evelyn being the mop as they were really swinging her around the floor like a Swirl of Life............


Paige is the mop

Colin and R2D2


Evelyn sings 'it's raining'


They played Doctor????

The popping noise on the last one was Colin with a cork gun.Next we played hide go seek Grandad style.

Nana likes her wine........



More Later.
