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.

[F, Calla & Luca]

It would be grand if we all could get together.

Can't read about the f****** ducks right now, but certainly I'll do that with my morning thermos of coffee. Yes, like Doris, I'll finish the entire, fresh ground bean, coffee by 10am

I came here to defend the F'ing children. Just tonight I was thinking about 'what ifs'.
What if, my mother told me she was meeting friends she never met, from New Jersey, who wanted to share Dandelion Plants with her!!!! I actually think I get it now.
I think I would be a little freaked too :) My mother was almost arrested once for digging up some guys dandelions. She makes soup from the plant.

Yes, my mother did ask me if I knew anyone in NJ, who had connections to a famous Dandelion farm.
I gave her your address, F

[F, Calla & Luca]

I,ll have you know the poop patrol has become the dandelion/ poop patrol and it's getting hard to find a dandelion on my property right now. And despite my hopes, D and L did not pull a weed, some pals. I know it sounds strange but some of us who haven't met do know each other well, don't we.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I may not have pulled dandelions but I did pick up poop, remember??  Laurie did neither. Clearly,  I was the better guest : )

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Doris, Go have a cup of coffee. I was too busy throwing the ball for Luca and taking calendar pictures of F's dogs to pull a weed :) She will thank me when they make the cover. LOL

[F, Calla & Luca]

Too bad your depth of field was as shallow as a sheet of paper since that one series of the dogs would have been fabulous. I think I'll ask if anyone can sharpen poor Calla. I not only would thank you if the dogs made the cover I would insist you were credited.

[F, Calla & Luca]

You were the best poop picking up guest : )

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

What fun for all of you. Would have loved to have been there. Maybe someday we will have a big DK'ers national meeting, but until then, we can live vicariously through the 3 amigos, as I bet you all have more adventures planned!

[F, Calla & Luca]

A national meeting would be something but hard to accomplish. Ideas but no planning.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

F, loved your blog...and your new sign!  Hope Stewpid doesn't confuse the doodles :)  What fun for all of you to meet! I can't believe Laurie didn't bring you a rooster though! 

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks. Maybe the bluebird is a rooster offspring.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

You might be right :) Maybe she thought it was a baby rooster :)
