Well, maybe not a new family, exactly. This old classic is from the spring of 1997, not long before Arlo had his hair cut. Obviously, this site has been limping along, lately. I’ve been very busy with other things, but I haven’t forgotten about you, appearances to the contrary. Actually, I am traveling this week. I am in Memphis, and I have a good excuse! Yesterday, I was privileged to be among several cartoonists assembled at St. Jude’s Research Hospital to draw for some of the young patients there. It was a great day, but I’m looking forward to getting back to work.
Busted!

I wonder what Susie is reading now?

I notice her legend there is the same as here.
She (Susan) is happily involved with her fellow according to fb.
Halfway through week. More change is a comin’. {Sigh.} This next round of shake ups ought to prove interesting.

Some of us are pretty easy to match with our FB names.
As for the “breakage” here, I am fairly sure this is something with the software that runs the site. It appears to close a page for comments after 7 days time. The previous page started in the morning of the 21st and stopped allowing comments in the morning of the 28th.
“…her fellow”? As in man-friend? Imagine that.

Debbe 😉 Did Ian get his check checked?
Woops. “…cheek checked”? Say that fast three times.
Good morning Villagers….
In answer to your questions GR 😉 , no. Still does not want to go to doctor. The pain is subsiding, but the other eye blackened also. He looks like a racoon 🙂 And thank you for asking, so kind of you…love Evan’s “Foghorn” quote on you. It was Foghorn who said that, wasn’t it?
Ian worked his butt off these past two days…they pumped the pit and yes he did have to go down in it to cut up an auger that fell in it months ago…..uugghhhh. He came to the back door just covered in it. Had hip waders on, and an oversize rain coat with hood. He had cut his thumb on the auger, we quickly disinfected it and made it bleed more. The Boss was down in the pit, on a tractor stirring it, have I mentioned it looks like chocolate pudding when he finishes it? He actually told Ian the pit manure looked beautiful! I have no idea how many manure truck trips were made, but the country side was very aromatic with the smell of chicken poop. Now for the other hen house. Oh, and only in the country can you strip down to your undies on the front porch and come in with ‘poopy’ clothes in hand.
Denise…congrats on your first sign of a producing garden. I love green onions. I even love the smell of wild green onions when the grass is cut. What else have you planted?
Indy Mindy…in the words of the Cowardly Lion….”C..C…Courage!”
Old Bear…my two lilac bushes are blooming….but I lost my 15 year old rose bush to this winter. Think I’ll plant a lilac bush in its place. Can never have enough lilac bushes or dogwood trees.
gotta go…..
ya’ll have a blessed day
love the markings on this cat’s head….reminds me of Groucho Marx

Debbe… you are preparing for your day. And I have not been to sleep yet! One of those nights…
Gal….what’s the matter…..does insomnia come to you every night? Try and get a little ‘cat nap’ in…..when’s the last time you had a good night’s sleep?
I do have trouble sleeping, but usually conk out around 1 AM. But… once in a while, it is around 5. This is the first time (that I can remember off hand) I had no sleep at all!
OF dank & a bit foggy. No prediction yet.

Mark in TTown, thank you for that music! I’ll hear it in my mind each time I harvest them. That is the perfect soundtrack for it, because that’s just how I felt while doing it: smug, smart, and sexy!
Bad Ghost, bad Ghost! 😉 I do hope all is well with her. Almost everyone needs a fantasy life; some people just share it to the discomfort of others. And she did give us a lot to think about!
I have noticed, Mindy, that bosses sigh a lot.
I’ve had some fresh thyme, oregano, chives, tarragon, and last year’s parsley (before it bolts) for awhile, Old Bear, but the first real veggies are something special! I live in the part of Michigan with the mildest winters, and the green onions are planted right next to a sunny south-facing wall.
Debbe, only spinach and lettuce so far, from seed. The tomatoes and peppers, as plants, won’t go in for awhile yet. Then green, wax, and soy beans from seed. I’m skipping cukes this year…there are two roadside stands about two miles from my house and their cukes are as good for fresh eating and bread and butter pickles as mine. The herbs are mostly perennial, and the dill just reseeds where it is happiest. Annuals marjoram, summer savory, and basil go in last. And this year’s parsley. Garlic got planted last fall and is doing nicely. Do you ever use the chicken poop on your plants? I used to be able to get pigeon poop, and my tomatoes were never better.
And for some of us, life comes true like a fairy tale written just for us. Not a fantasy, life. My next chapter will run on May 7 or 8 I think my editor says. Sorry if you all may have thought it unreal. Guess it sounds that to some but very, very real.
Love, Jackie Monies
Jackie, nice to hear from you! I’m glad that your writing project is continuing. Reference had been made above to our once-upon-a-time troll, Susie. Perhaps I am being naive in thinking what she did may have started out as fantasy play. Perhaps she always did intend it to be mean-spirited, but I hope not.
No, Denise I think a troll is correct, I have to deal with some of those sometimes. I am off to BC next to cruise and hike on a yacht for a couple weeks. I am beyond irrepressible adventurer. I will try to be discreet when I show up here but I just don’t live that way.
Love yall, Jackie
