Ethel's Play Date with Marley & Jack

One morning after taking Madison to school,
Jen brought Ethel over to have a Play Date
with the Kids...Marley & Jack.

This would be the first time Ethel had ever
been anywhere without her
Mom, Dad or Madison.
Marley & Jack took very well to Ethel
being in their private space,
"the back yard".
Ethel is only 4 months old and she is
already bigger then full grown
Marley & Jack.
They played and played, but of course
when AJ was outside they congregated
around him.
I had put some refreshments (dog kibbles,
dog bones, dehydrated duck and popcorn)
out in a pan on the step. They all took
their turn nibbling and then got a drink of
cold drink water out of the
Big Blue Bucket.
There was alot of Butt Smelling that day.

By late afternoon Ethel, still just a Baby,
was getting tired.
Marley & Jack could have gone on
for a few more hours. But I decided to
bring them in for a rest.

Marley hit the sofa,
Jack took claim on AJ's bed
and Ethel barley got past the back
door's threshold and she slept.....

and slept and slept! All afternoon.
We actually had to walk around her
and she never moved a muscle!
Jen called that evening after Wade
had picked up the Girls,
Madison and Ethel.
Jen said Ethel had told her she had
a Wonderful Day. Ethel said the Kids
were fun to play with, the food was great
and she felt right at home and very loved
by her
Mimi & Grampy, (AKA AJ & ME).

The unfinished Dog Treats
I had put out on the step,
for the Pups,
got ate up by the Birds.

NEW YEAR'S EVE...Dec. 31, 2010

Okay, Pop Quiz......
Does anyone remember what
AJ and ME did last
New Year's Eve?
Well, AJ and ME did it again
this New Year's Eve!
Yap!
we ate at the Waffle House.
As we entered the door we were greeted by
Tom & Joe
the founders of the Waffle House in 1955.
They told us
"They couldn't have done it without us".
and that made us feel very welcomed.
The Employees were in New Year's Eve
attire and....
in the New Year's Eve Spirit!

After eating a Gormet Meal of
Eggs, Grits, Hash Browns, Raisen Toast
and the Famous Waffles...we bid everyone
a Happy New Year and God willing we would
be back next year!
We then went to the ajoining "Hampton Inn"
and spent the night in the Honeymoon Suite.
Noooo, we didn't I was just foolin!
AJ told ME to say that!

Water is very important to our Birds in the winter.
