We spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday with my folks in Missouri. It was a successful visit. At the height there were 2 parents, 3 siblings, nieces and nephews (1 each), 1 grand nephew (is that a thing?), 3 spouses, 1 girl friend, 3 kittens, 1 cat, 1 dog and 1 puppy. There was no appearance […]

The Christmas Chicken

Brad gave us gifts! Gold, and frankincense and myrrh. No, wait. A ‘gift of rage’ for Lloyd – a poster that shows how the government spends our taxes, and for me, a delightful little guy called ‘Benny’ who plays music when you wind him up! Benny has a place of honor by the ukuleles now. […]
