Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Use cheese. Wrap the pill entirely in cheese and stuff on the back of her tongue. Works every time.
Checkin' back in here. How's everyone's 4th going? Here the weather has been really overcast all day and they cancelled the fireworks 'til tomorrow. Is it like that by others?
I'm up.... And I think I hear the Bee Gees.
Still an hour till sunset here.... Gidget is on her little pills.... Not quite out yet, just laying there saying "rouwph". I think ecurbh just opened her mouth and stuck the pills back there... nothin' too fancy. Logan was the hard one. He'd hack it back up from the back of his throat.
What sort of adventures did you have? We need to compare notes!
Fireworks were lovely. Traffic was not. I'm almost ready for bed...
Welcome back Rosie!
sigh...
"I'm up.... And I think I hear the Bee Gees."
LOL! Traditional patriotic music I guess, LOL!
"Fireworks were lovely. Traffic was not."
You still got bridges out from the flooding? It's pretty wet here.
So what were the mountains like? Mountains, Gandalf :)
"We watched 101 Dalmations (the live action one)."
How was that one compared to the cartoon? I was always afraid to watch it 'cause I was a fan of the original.
Evening Corin.... You shouldn't light weird dynamics in the house, only outside!
It's really a pretty good adaptation as cartoon to live action goes. Glenn Close is a hoot as Cruella De Vil. But unlike the cartoon and movies like Homeward Bound the animals don't "talk."
I could've sworn they were illegal in this county...
No point callin. there's weird dynamics goin' on all over.
No, no bridges went out. I just chickened out of driving earlier through standing water on the highway. It's not an easy road at the best of times.
Mountains were awesome - in the old sense. I am looking forward to moving out there soon.
I just got back. Had a lovely day. :-)
Went for the day with PQ's mom and dad. We ended up at another relative's house with a pool. Swam most of the afternoon. Had barbeque etc. Now, I'm really tired....
I had the coolest drive back to Cheryl and Lynn's house. It's about 30 miles and most of it is high prairie ranch land so you can see for miles. Since we've had so very very much rain this month this is an unusual year in that we don't have fire warnings out for fireworks. The last half of the drive was a spectacular fireworks show! Almost every farm and ranch was shooting off fireworks on both sides of the road. I could also see the fireworks shows from 3 towns from that road! It was incredible!!! All the while one of the radio stations was playing nothing but patriotic music. I couldn't have planned that show any better! :-)
Maybe I just need some Gidget-type tranquilizers for everyone in the house...
Hmm. Maybe I'll check it out then.
Another movie I liked like that as a kid was "The Rescuers", with Bob Newhart as the voice of the mouse :)
Sounds vey cool. We just talked about buying some and setting them off at the beach this summer.
Might be late now.... Vets are closed ;~D
I can send ya some for next year though!
Gotcha on the bridges--I misread your earlier post. BTW for some reason when I read what you just typed it makes me think of the scene with the Black Riders chasing the hobbits to Buckleberry Ferry :)
Awesome in the old sense--you rarely hear "awesome" in its proper sense anymore eh? :) It does seem applicable here. I've never seen real mountains. The closest I've come was climbing some bluffs here that went up maybe a few hundred to a thousand feet. The Rockies would be something else entirely. I've seen pictures of them looming over mountain lakes--looks beautiful.
Had an interesting experience with the bluffs I mention, BTW. I was maybe 9 and my Dad, my uncle, and my brothers and I were hiking up a road that wound around the mountain. A car passed us, and a minute later it came rolling down from the level of the road above us, to land on our level perched precariously on the edge. Thankfully the drivers were uninjured and my Dad and uncle managed to help them climb out--just before their car slipped and rolled down to the next level with a great crash. Pretty unnerving!
