*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

[Yessur Ebob]

Just busy being me.

Hana starts Jr. High, 7th grade tomorrow and wanted a "back
to school party" for her and her best friends. About 17 kids and whatever parents felt like staying.

And...she wanted it in the woods. Fully-decked.

So I've been three days putting out props and decorations. Remowing the roads, final trim of the limbs. Some of the
things I'll start putting away again tomorrow.

Cookout.

Golf cart (3) running as hard as they could.
Games to be played.

A lot of work.

And those "road signs" I was talking about a while back
were a big hit. Day-light party, over just before dark.
Parents enjoyed them as much as the kids did.

Was it worth it?

Yes, it was.

Dad was there. One of his good days, and he did the grilling.
Enjoyed himself. When he got tired he went in to rest on
the couch. Even some aunts and uncles stopped by. Dad
dropped the hotdogs...his hands shake a lot anymore. But
Jake (the dog) likes his hotdogs dropped on the ground
anyway.

So even Jake enjoys a good cookout. Almost as much fun
for him as chasing golf carts.

As small as it may sound, Hana will always have the memory of Grandpa cooking out for "her party".

That alone, more than made my three days of work worthwhile.

Spook...

Sounds like a good time.

Howdy, Yebob. Want another try at a picnic between the moats?

 

[JD4570]

Ebob, just as long as it's between the moats and not in them. Also watch out for Sour sneaking up from behind. Sour used to want to put me in the moat but that passed in time, besides I'm not afraid of the salt water moat anymore. The fresh water moat, different story. It's not the candiru, gotta braided stainless speedo that takes care of that problem. It's those darn leeches, I hate leeches.

 

[Bunnylady]

I don't know if anybody's safe near the moats with Sour around these days. About a week ago, he seemed so set on seeing somebody go in, he seemed to be prepared to take any excuse to throw anybody in. I don't know if Queen Em

herself would have been safe, with the mood he was in!

 

[sourland]

lady,

Would you like to have a little picnicc between the moats? Perhaps we will see Harvey there.

 

[Bunnylady]

No thank you, Sour. I spent as much time as I care to around the moats while looking for you, and saw enough little (and not so little) moat denizens to satisfy me for quite a while. And while I'd be surprised to see Cousin Harvey there, I'd just as soon avoid him, ya know what I mean?

 

[sourland]

I , too, wish no further encounters with Harvey. That is one truly weird cousin that you have

lady!

 

[Bunnylady]

Well, all shapeshifters are a bit, um, different, but even for a shapeshifter, he's different. I'm just glad that he usually is a rabbit!

 

[sourland]

Tell me all about 'shapeshifters' in 5 sentences or less.

 

[JD4570]

I can tell you to be careful around shape shifters, as a group they are unpredictable. I should know. With each shape comes a somewhat different persona. One shape and persona loves "white russians", without the vodka of course.
