A Little Green Friend

drops by for a St. Patty's Day visit. He seems content to float around in my pool enjoying the gorgeous weather...



seemingly unaware that his very life is in danger.



Avenging Abby is watching from under the picnic table...



while Tabby The Terrible stealthily follows his every move from the cover of the dining room tablecloth.



Suddenly Abby makes her move. Is she dreaming about her contribution to the St. Patrick's Day dinner this evening...frog legs!



Swim frog swim!



Foiled again!

How To Catch A Leprechaun...According To Kyla

Put a big black pot filled with gold coins and other green & gold "bait" in the middle of a piece of paper covered with "lots of sticky stuff" and make sure that the rainbows lead the way. Soon enough, a Leprechaun will come along to take the goodies...but he won't be able to leave!





Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! May the Luck Of The Irish be with you...and don't forget to wear your green.



I have to get dinner started. We're having Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, & Carrots as well as a yummy Reuben Loaf. Can hardly wait to eat!

I Have Called My Mother So Many Different Names During My Life.

She has been Mommy, Mom, Ma, Mother, and various other forms of the name. My dad calls her Kitty-Jo which really drives her crazy...and according to an old yearbook, a past admirer called her Kitten. She also has a grand niece that had a speech impediment when she was younger that caused her name to sound like "Aunt Titty".

Now she has a new name...and this one is going to stick with her forever. It's the name my 3 year old niece started calling her. From here on out, she will forever be known as "DamMa".
