Granny's gone and done it again

Camp merch came in. This is a freebie sample. Tape measure, level, notepad, pen. Cracking me up.

Camping, is it Donny or Donnie? I don't like to spell names wrong... happens to me all the time.

Donny. For some reason dad always spells it wrong. Her name is Daisy Mae.

I was the first grandkid. They wanted me to call her granny. I called her “Danny” and no one corrected me. It was a short hop to Donny. I called my grandpa Bonk Bonk. He loved green acres and watched it a lot. He realized I’d say “bonk bonk” during the theme song. You know the part. It tickled him, so he’d hum the theme when he saw me, just so I’d say bonk bonk. And you can figure it out from there.

Donny and Bonk Bonk had five acres of pinewoods and junk cars in central LA. They’d let us run loose with BB guns, and .22s when we got older. Bonk had every car he’d ever owned parked back there. His brother parked five mustangs, ‘65-‘67, in the trees. He wanted to sell them only as a lot of five. They were reclaimed by the forest. This is the side of the family where the hoarding comes in.

Yes, I got it out whole this time . It was 2 days ago> Maybe 3. It hadnt been there long either. Was kinda easy to get out. Its whole head wasnt buried and it wasnt fat. Small tick.

I would take him for the test. You are not in one of the hot zones, but mid range for risk. If he got Lymes from a tick around you, likely there are others that have it.

My house is cluttered, but I don’t have any sheds. Breaking the cycle one generation at a time.
