Yes, in reference to my post yesterday, today is the next day, but it is only starting – slowly.
People at the Peanut Butter Cafe & Roadhouse are not bustling around; they are tucked away in various corners sleeping off yesterday. I was away and I believe they played and told knock-knock jokes that left them gasping for breath between guffaws. You know, some of their oldies:
Knock-Knock
Who’s there?
Ann
Ann Who?
Ann the Dog.
I know . . . it’s not funny. That’s why it’s so funny. Maybe that is why; maybe it is because Summer was three at the time. Oh, my sides, they ache from the laughing.
Did I just write that? Well, I guess it’s going to be one of THOSE days. Wocka-Wocka. Gosh, I miss Fozzy Bear.
UPDATE #1.
Augh, I thought “oh what the heck” – just like that, no punctuation or anything – and flopped down and pulled a blanket over me and snoozed. So now I am having a second getting-up. Maybe I wouldn’t do this if I had a burlap blankie; however, burlap doesn’t come with satin feelers so I can’t bring myself to try it. Of course, we could sew a nice liner on the burlap and add a feeler . . . which somehow would defeat the purpose, but would no doubt be a conversation piece.
Even my cafe & roadhouse friends are up and about . . . maybe they are thinking of holding a smelling-salt foldover under my nose.
UPDATE #1.6
Well, I looked at the camera – didn’t have to get up to do it. I’m going to have to check the color setting and whatever – maybe we were taking pictures on the wrong focus choice, but anyway, here are four people from Der Bingle’s early birthday gathering.
Cameron with stuff in the background. I think he dieting and conditioning program are going well.
Colin and his mother.
And, of course, our dear Summer.
When my youngest was about six she got mad at her sister. She wanted to insult her but didn’t quite know how to do that, and knew that she’d get in trouble using words she shouldn’t use…. so she screamed at her….. “you pine pine you!” It has stuck with the family. Whenever someone is now teasing someone else, telling them they are being a real toot they call them a “pine-pine” and we all crack up.
It’s another of those not funny but oh so funny moments families have.
Love Summer’s new look. Very Summery.
