It's Friday

Well, I tell you. No. I can't. But boy, do I have a story to tell.
Can't tell it yet but I will say that things sure can happen in small towns. And that when those things happen, it's HUGE!


**********************

It's drizzling here and I'm going to town to go with Lily to get our hair trimmed. I'll keep Mr. Dolphin Zombie-Arms from harm while Lily gets her hair trimmed and then she will do the same for me. We were going to do this last week but there were tornado warnings, flash floods and so forth. Then I'm bringing Owen out here to keep so my day is full. And my heart is better.

**********************

I opened up a suitcase I was going to take to the Opera House for a prop and found inside of it a cache of Beanie Babies. This brought to mind the old days when Lily and Jessie were young young'uns and if they'd been good girls that week, I'd take them to the mall to pick out a new Beanie Baby. I laughed when I saw all those funny critters. I always knew that no one was going to get rich collecting them but I liked them just for themselves.
But the best part was that in the collection I found this:


A rooster! For Owen! Hurray! So see- those little critters DID turn out to be a good investment after all.

Well, Mr. Moon is talking to me about the Toyota recall. I better go eat some cereal and get dressed and get my ass to town.

Happy Friday, y'all.

Love....Ms. Moon

  1. Beanie Babies! My daughter collected so many of them that I thought I'd go crazy. She still has them too--stored in plastic bins in the attic of her house. I think she needs to get them down and give them to the kids so at least they are being used. She probably has that same rooster!

  5. oh, you're such a tease. You're lucky you had the rooster beenie to placate us! He's adorable. Great memories of your girls. Those little things were so darn cute, just for themselves. I've got a frog here on my desk at the library. I LOVE the rooster!!!!!!
    Happy haircut. Happy day.

  6. Oh, you simply must tell, Ms. Moon! You can't start like that and just leave us wanting for more. I am busy working and one of my patients is super sick, but I'll be back on the hour until you share the HUGE news.

  7. Oh my lord. I have two giant rubbermaid containers filled to the brim with beanie babies that were my sisters and are now my childrens. I have to clean those suckers up everyday. HUNDREDS of them...ugh.

  8. I don't get the beanie babies. They're a little soulless. But my American aunts had a room full of them each! It's like TickleMeElmo for Mommies...

  9. I can't wait for the story you didn't tell! You live in an old land and I believe that where you live, stories rise from the earth into the air to be acted out by people unaware. Don't make us wait long, please.

  10. Now I'm really bummed. I got rid of the many, many Beanie Babies that my boys owned, knowing, just knowing, that I'd never miss them.

    Just teasing -- but I do envy you the rooster.

    Hope your day is wonderful, and that your haircut is divine...

  11. Love your winter walk photos. Love the Beeniebabies! Our "collectibles" got loved to shreds, if not by children then by the pets! Which really does show their value. These walks heal. There is a reason 'one step at a time' is so timeless. Much Love to you today, yesterday, and days to come. xoxo

  12. I had tons of Beanie Babies too. When my kids have birthday's I tie a helium balloon to the tag or leg of a Beanie Baby and the kids go home with a Beanie and a balloon. The kids are always thrilled. Thank Goodness....frees up space in my basement!

  13. I can see Owen chewing on the rooster with those two new little teeth now...I must be beaming in a picture of him from somewhere at your house. Hope the haircut helped make you more beauteous for your upcoming appearance on the stage. x0 N2
