The Back Story of the DK Visit

[F, Calla & Luca]

Let me warn you that some parts of this discussion, which I wrote because I am not like some people who feel the need to write blogs in order to dominate the front page endlessly, are x rated. And I am not talking about Laurie and Doris trying out my adjustable bed with me. 

What could one say when some DK buddies decided to pay me a visit? I was flattered really. I ignored my son who asked me if my will was in order. In the short time allotted to me I cleaned, decluttered, and toiled endlessly. I knew Laurie would practically redecorate her house in order to outdo me. It was in fact a great incentive for me. My house looks better than it has in a long time.

They say “Beware Greeks bearing gifts”. But Joanne wasn’t coming and Laurie, Janie, and Doris don’t seem to be of Greek origin. So I let my guard down. Truly I was unprepared for the largesse. Gifts too numerous to count.  After weeks of tofu spinach soup, in order to lose an ounce or two, these rich pastries and cookies flooded my house. And to be polite I ate some lots of them. And then I got Stewpid. He does look mighty fine in the garden but we know he can wreak havoc.

Next came the only bluebird I’m likely to ever see in my garden.

And a gorgeous rose garden book.

I did get a chuckle from this sign.

It does malign my poor dogs because they bite no one, though. No wonder the car D and L arrived in was low to the ground, it wasn’t all due to Laurie.

And so on. So I was very pleased. This morning though I realized Laurie never knows boundaries. Luca was barking his head off. You can barely see him but there was a young raccoon up a tree across the brook.

I have never seen a raccoon right here so I am convinced Laurie brought her surplus live wildlife too.

When I mentioned there were prizes for any games we might play, Laurie told me she didn’t want junk I had cleared out of my closets. I was highly insulted. After all only one or two were used and many had never even made it into the closet.  

As to the ACV, this is how I looked before I drank it. WTD?

 

And now the x-rated part. We went for a walk with the doodles around the Ridgewood Duck Pond. Lo and behold we came upon a screaming woman shooing ducks. A poor female duck was being attacked by two male ducks. I decided that nature should be left alone. We all walked on. Not too long afterward the same woman came to tell us a man had said it was just the way ducks procreate. And Laurie found this fascinating explanation when we got home. Who knew how ducks f… and all those other interesting things about their anatomy.  Here is the link. Read it only if you are over 21 please. http://www.webvet.com/main/2009/01/09/duck-mating-sex-lives-ducks

So now the house seems so quiet. Luca and Calla were very depressed until their brothers came the next day. We gals really did have lots of fun and the time flew by. More adventures must be planned.

The three Amigas

I swear this is the truth and nothing but the truth but not necessarily the whole truth. No one could deal with that.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, I was getting ready to sign off and had to check this discussion out. Very, very funny, and you had me laughing out loud! I am so glad you said the three amigos and not the two stooges and F :) I cry HOKUM about the ACV! Of course, your dogs were depressed. We did nothing but love on those two sweeties for two days. I miss those faces. Sorry about the raccoon. He must have been buried in my suitcase!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Given the size of the suitcase anything is possible. I hope I don't see a bear tomorrow.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

The suitcase was terribly heavy :)

[Leslie and Halas]

Maybe the saying should be changed to "Beware of DKers bearing gifts," At least she didn't give you a "Buck Furpees" t-shirt. Although that may have been better than the bikini t-shirt.

[F, Calla & Luca]

TG they didn't force me to exercise in the yard in my bikini shirt. I might have had to move.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Leslie, She isn't even telling you about the gifts she returned to us :)

[Donna K & Quincy]

LOL, It really does sound like you had a great time! F, you really have to lay off the ACV. It's nice that you have a reminder of the gals when you go in your garden. Being that I am well past 21, I am going to check out that link as it always looks like the female duck is being drowned. Let me know when y'all are coming for a visit so I can arrange for a cook, cleaning service and a dumpster. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I do love the reminder part and was sorry I forgot to give at least Laurie some pots of divisions from my garden. Even Doris might have been able to get something on board, lord knows I've one that.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I just knew I should wait until morning to read that article about the sex lives of ducks! OMD, who knew???? Now I understand why Donald is always naked from the waist down. And here I thought it was hard for me to find pants that fit!

I love the gifts, especially that sign! I might have to get one of those myself.

It really sounds like you amigas had a wonderful time together! I know I'm not the only Doodle Kisser who wishes she could have been there! 

[F, Calla & Luca]

Oh boy, I never wondered about Donald but you had me chucking about his getting pants to fit. It's not only his tush he had to worry about. Also, I love the term doodle kisser : )

[Anna and Achilles]

Too funny about Donald!

[Pat and Traveler]

Ha!   What a great story!  So glad y'all got together and we get to share a bit of the visit.  Such a nice photo of the three of you!  The raccoon looks like a teddy bear.  Just sayin'....
