Marquette (L) and TacumwahMommy's new cellphone seems to take pretty good photos. Her old one couldn't have gotten as good a photo of me looking through the loft railing.
Once again Mommy has gone a very long time between posts. She has been busy doing not much of anything. And once again she is on vacation trying to use up some hours before she loses them at the end of the year. She hasn't even read any books and has only seen one movie, Mama Mia.
Movie review: Mama Mia with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. Mommy really wanted to dislike this movie and wouldn't even have watched it except that Grandma owned a copy and forced her to bring it home. So, one day last weekend, she and Mommy Bonnie watched this movie. Well, people either like this movie or hate it. Mommy expected to hate it. When it was all said and done, Mommy had to admit that she liked the movie because (1) it made her smile and (2) she enjoyed the music. The acting was not that good, there were numbers that could have been cut, the dancing could have been much better, but more important than all of that was that the movie made Mommy smile. A patron at the library took the movie home the same weekend Mommy watched it.They decided to compare notes on Monday. The lady came in and said, "Well?" Mommy said, "You know, I liked it. The lady indicated that she did not like the movie. Mommy asked her, "Did it make you smile?" The lady replied with a reluctant, "Yes." Mommy said, "I rest my case."
My mommies were very busy the last two days cleaning the cottage like I have never seen them do before. Today I found out why. About 11 a.m. Grandma and Aunt Jane showed up. I raced for the quilt on the upstairs futon and hid. I was there for hours. Tacumwah was all over everyone sucking up. Marquette was missing. After tearing the house apart, Mommy discovered that when she put Little Bear in his kennel to keep him from being a pest, Marquette must have been in there, because she found him in the back of the kennel curled into a ball.
Mommy gave Grandma and Aunt Jane a tour of the cottage and it included the loft. She pulled the quilt down a little so they could see me. But I refused to come downstairs the whole time they were here. I waited until I didn't hear their voices any longer and Mommy called up to me that they were gone. Then I came flying down the stairs.
Mommy Bonnie got a job at DePuy in Warsaw. She starts this coming Wednesday. We will miss having her home with us...especially the dogs. It is a contract job for 6 months.
The barn is done, the deck is built and all but one storm door is on. At least Builder Mike won't be around much and I won't have to hide under the quilt. There are rumblings of other smaller projects but maybe they won't happen for a while.
