  • Chewlee Has A Ball On Her Trip Home

     

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    The Princess and Chewlee made it home, finally.  And none the worse for wear.  It seems Chewlee charmed everyone and she was invited into the cockpit of the plane where the pilot let her push all the buttons even.  She was given a captain's hat to wear (which the Princess wanted to take a picture of her wearing it but she wouldn't cooperate) and....get this....she announced to everyone that they had to take their seats on the intercom.  She was thrilled and the passengers got a kick out of it.  Needless-to-say, she had a wonderful time.

    The Princess had an electronic game book that Chewlee's *bald grandpa* (her description) bought for her and she had saved for the occasion.   She played with it here for a while and it's a really cute, interactive toy.  She also went nuts over the new movie Bratfink sent her, Fern Gully.  We had to watch it twice.  After that it was Land Before Time, also watched twice.

    She was totally adorable today.  She really had a good time seeing all the relatives.  They must have made a fuss over her because she had nothing unpleasant or bad about any of her time in Colorado.  She was so glad that I was feeling better (and I am, except for a few minutes when I first get up in the morning untiL I take my pain pills).  The pain pills dull the sharp pain in the bottom of my foot and I only have to take two the first thing in the morning and then I don"t need them any more.  The feet are actually numb but seem to get better every day.  At least I can move around now and am not confined to my recliner or bed any more.

    She wanted to watch her Barbie movie but forgot she took that one home with her.  I was just as glad that she did because it's a little too syrupy for my taste today.`  Although I loved how loving Chewlee was and she was generous with her hugs and kisses, too.  She's absolutely fascinated with the fact that the Beast has a garden that is making food.    She can hardly believe how big the plants have all gotten and she thinks the tiny green tomatoes are soooooo cute>

    Love you all and I hope you have a wonderful Friday.  If you have an after work plan to stop for a drink or two, remember you shouldn't drink and drive.  My favorite watering hole was close enough I could walk (or crawl) home.  Nowadays, I don't have to worry about that because the Beast can't drink.  I mean that literally.  First of all, he shouldn't.  Second of all, he gets nauseous and light headed after just one sip of anything alcoholic.  So he is the designated driver by default....LOL.    Stay safe.
