A friend of mine is visiting Buffalo and probably dancing.

Full Moon is Wednesday, but it isn’t a full buffalo moon.

[Lady Jag]

LOL! I love ya! Exactly what I would do.

Vocabulary is good.

[Lady Jag]

Walkies? Sleepies? Sleep walking?

We were talking about paths, roads, cows, hitchiking. You posted another nice photo and then said 'guess what brb.'

I could only assume you wer going for a walk,

So was the road warm?

[yorkie]

Well, folks, Amy, Mr. Amy, Jr., and Prissy Missy just left Yorkie’s place! What a FUN afternoon! Missy loved playing with the dogs, and we all had a wonderful visit!

As Amy said, they are relaxing on this little trip - if they pushed for appointments, and schedules, they would be exhausted when they get home! (Now, that is the *SMART* way to take a vacation!)

I wish I could share an afternoon with ALL of you, as pleasant as this afternoon was with ‘our’ Amy.

[Lady Jag]

We each have our own adventures growing up. A big part of mine was growing up between two dairy farms with lots of kids, cows, cats and dogs. A fabulous experience. And not living on the farm I had no chores.

One of the farmers loved having kids there and made his hard work look easy. Maybe we broke his boredom. He taught us a lot that translated into life.

[Lady Jag]

Oh how wonderful! I had no idea were getting together; what a treat!

[yorkie]

Yes, LJ, it WAS a treat. I wanted to post some more cows to you, but had to git rid of the “dust bunnies that have infiltrated my home” before they got here! LOL!! (Just kidding, of course)

[MEG33]

I am so happy you all could get together!

[Lady Jag]

Excellent photo and you quoted my main man!

I love vanishing perspective. Something that draws you into it gives deeper meaning on a more personal level, speaks more to the viewer.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, I am so happy that you got to meet Amy and Marissa! I didn't know that they were going to stop by your place on this trip, but I am so glad they did! Isn't Amy just the sweetest thing? And Marissa is growing into a such a beautiful young lady!

Did you take pictures? I am a teeny bit jealous that Amy has gotten to meet you and I haven't. :-( But, we are going to remedy that the next time you come to visit your family in L.A., right? :-)

[Billie]

I’m so glad you got to visit! Hope somebody took some pictures! :)

[Lady Jag]

I have so many dust bunnies they gave me an award!

[jaycee]

I thought it was about time that old card came out. I have been letting my computer clean itself up...LOL! so I haven’t been on for a while....

RE: Vocabulary

...Yes. LOL...   I must learn more vocabulary! ...to make up for all the words which seem to be going missing each year.

[Mama_Bear]

Lovely, Billie. I have not heard that song before. Thank you. I enjoyed that and your pretty graphic with the birds.

[jaycee]

I was so glad to find out that ‘Meandering leads to Perfection’ as I meander a whole lot!!!

[gardengirl]

Missed you guys! I have no idea where the last two months have gone!

Carter got shots in both legs today. He is not a happy camper!

[Lady Jag]

We have to preserve that vanishing vocabulary, dude, know what I mean?

It’s important to have a good vocabulary. If I had known the difference between the words ‘antidote’ and ‘anecdote,’ one of my good friends would still be alive today.

[Billie]

LOL! This was the opening Amy posted on June 9, 2008:

Dustbunnies

The sound that all dustbunnies make,
Depends on the form the bunnies take.
Sawdust bunnies grind and scrape,
While cottons make a quiet escape.

Woolens have a sheepish stare,
And murmurs that disturb the air.
Dustbunnies to evoke your dread,
Are those that lurk beneath your bed.

Insurgent bunnies, trained just so,
On tiptoe and in silence go,
But growing in such numbers that,
A stealth attack could kill a cat!

Poor Kitty! In her master’s room,
Hairballed down to dusty doom.
If you want to survive, then ya gotta get mean!
Bring yer vacuum out! Keep yer filters clean!
