Lose a Puppy, find a Puppy...

A woman appeared on the Yard today

looking for a stray dog. I directed her

to the 'kennels'. Later, a beagle pup

ran up to me trying to elude the Parish

policeman. I think these were two

unrelated occurences. We'll see about

that maybe Monday. [Animals are

fascinated by me because i am devoid

of Fear and Guile; unfortunately for

them, i do not take them in, either.]

What's a dog in the large werld anyway?

Floppy ears & a Furious tail...

The newspaper people called me twice

yesterday. They want me to take the

Thursday thru Saturday for Free while

i pay only for Sunday. Thanks but no

thanks~i'm really enjoying being out of

the Loop. Plus+, i can read whatever

comes into werk when i feel like it.

Well, i didn't tell them all that; i just said

that i was a happy, singular, Sunday

subscriber. And that was Truth enuf

until they call again. Now, if i can just

figger out a way to Turn Off the Telefone

when i don't want That!

Meanwhile, as i was rifling thru the Old

Man's desk, i found Yet more buried

treasure. Namely, His baptismal certify,

his Wife's baptismal certify AND their

marriage Paper! Holy Crud, it amazes me

that schmart People who paid for a safety

deposit box in Town did not keep such

Ephemera in that place for the Cost!

They musta had more pressing things on

their middling minds. I have to forgif my

progenitors that much, considering all the

other Things they provided throughout our

co=joined fambly History. Busy people.

And the occasional stray puppy...

Title: Mowing the Mint

Mood: wacky, weed=wacky

Noise: Junebugs & Treefrogs

Thot: "It's a meditation to trim so many

things, growing so fast, so far and so

High; not unlike shredding Form lettres

by hand." [i am hard pressed to find

any grass in the bunch of it!]

Chicken Soop: pasta added

I did the Widow's Lawn expecially good.

But i get paid for that! Later, at the grox

schtore, i helped a brunette with an arm

full of yogurts. I said,"You need a basket to

carry all that...Here, i'll get you one." IF

she had managed to hold onto her items,

I would haf simply continued on, filling

my cart with bogos. It was the carton of

light milk which was her Un=doing. AND,

the delicatessen was crowded...else of which

i would not have noticed her at all. Just

anothre Sunday in slac=land. Puxxle!

Nothing but dog=food in the cage...

My last customer was Amy, the Vet.

Coincidence? Anyway, i gave her

general directions to this Page. Hope

she finds it. As for me, my anniverseral

Project is to keep posting forgotten

fambly fotografs---mainly for the shock

value. Hey~if you can't embarrass your

natural relatives, what's the Point?
