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.

I'd also like to nominate Adina to the Doodle City's Supreme Court, lol.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Chief Justice for sure.

[Lynne and Riley]

Great idea! 

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Great non-blog F! Although I was taken aback when I first read it as I misread "woman shooing ducks" as woman shooting ducks". This was before my first shot of ACV for the day.  I thought "WTD??? Why didn't Laurie mention THAT in her blog??" LOL

I actually knew about the male duck anatomy as a fellow college student decided to enlighten me about the subject years ago. He failed to mention the violence part of it though. You're right I will never see ducks in the same light again!!! :(

It looks like you guys had a great time even with the wildlife theme!

[F, Calla & Luca]

We had lots of fun. BTW, a non-blog is called a discussion.

[Sheila & Finnley]

Ha ha, Ricki, I read it as woman shooting ducks too !!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

This gives me comfort,Sheila. :)

[Bonnie and Kona]

Me, too. I was alarmed that none of these three DK animal champions stopped a woman from shooting ducks in a pond. ;o) Shocked enough to re-read the sentence. 

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

LOL, Bonnie!

[Donna K & Quincy]

LOL, Bonnie, I did the same thing. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'm glad I wrote it right but this is one of those examples of when the mind fills in what it expects.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

LOL! F, I've waiting all day for you to say that!!
