No.... I didn't know there was a back-story to the bunny ;~D
Just because he CAN doesn't mean he SHOULD...
There's a whole webpage with pictures of the bunny with various objects on his head. Like 90% of weird internet crazes, it can apparently be blamed on the Japanese - Oolong belonged to some weird Japanese guy who liked to balance things on its head.
Just a shot of Baileys on ice is a wonderful thing.
I'm slowly coming around to beer since Dad's been brewing. I only like dark brews or red ale, though. Killian's and Guiness aren't bad. But Dad's is better. I'm an idiot about such things, but even I can tell that.
I still prefer wine, though.
I prefer wine too. Mmm... and if you come out I can get wine without worrying that I won't drink the bottle before it gets bad.
I'd be real reluctant to name that as a hobby on my resume.
LOL!!
You know the roads are bad when the plow goes off the road...

ROTFL! you need to use that!
Crop it down a little and get the text added and we've got a new classic for those threads that just don't make sense...
LOL It's ok here in the Hole, but Steve would kill me if I started posting that anywhere else.
He just looks thrilled, don't he? LOL
We'd never tell!
So you say...
*am excited now!*
SuziQ - I cannot tell you how thankful I am for your encouragement. This will definitely be a year of adjustment for everyone. God grant me the patience and fortitude to see it through!! I have told Erin that she can make up her own address book to get phone numbers of the people she would like to call and we can plan to get together. Her birthday is coming up in March so I think a special party might be a good thing to have for her. It always seems to fall during spring break though, so it will ahve to be on an 'off-day'.
One thing erin hopes to do as a homeschooler is get involved in a veternarian clinic. I have told her that I'd like to wait until we get a little bit settled into a routine before we start branching into something like that (if there is anything a fifth grader to do that is). She *is* excited about that possibility.
I am running out of books to read to her. I am going to try Pride and Prejudice again, but the last time I tried, she complained an awful lot, not just over the words, but the general language and style of speaking. At her age I woudl have soaked something like this up. I can't figure her out sometimes. I am trying to compile a list right now. The real Black Beauty novel is one on that list. She loves stories about horses. She also loves the American Girl series. I had been reading Johnny Tremain to her over the summer, to find out that it would be read during the school year, so I stopped that because I didnt want to spoil it for her.
You know, there aren't a whole of books on the colonial era.
ROFL!!!!! that's funny!!!
ROFL!!!!! that's funny!!!
Colonial Era? Have you read "Witch of Blackbird Pond"? Good book. Um... lessee... "Sarah Bishop". "The Sign of the Beaver". "A Lion to Guard Us". Trying to remember things Mom read to us years ago...
