On the move....and Dewey Immortalized

Hi ya Bloggies,

I tell ya we never seem to get ta talk about what we are doin' anymore until it's almost too late ta tell ya.

Right after Christmas, we left "da burg" and headed south fer the winter. We drove all night long and then all the next day and only stopped fer the night once we reached Georgia. There was a terrible snow storm and we wanted ta beat it. We didn't beat it but we missed the worst of it by leavin' early.

              That, I tell ya Bloggies......is what we saw in the Carolinas on the way down ta Florida.
            'N the Carolinas are not used ta gettin' snow so we saw a lot of accidents on the trip down.

              But now we're lookin' at this beautiful scenery at Lake June in Winter in Lake Placid, Florida.
                                                          'N we are sure glad ta be here too.
                    We've had a few cold nights but fer the most part the weather has been beautiful here.

Yep, I tell ya....it's paradise....fer sure.......

                

Ain't it just spectacular?  
Water....'n ramps ta walk out on....

                                                                      'n more water....
                                                                          'n trees too.

                      Then there's these sandhill cranes that are walkin' around in our neighborhood.
                                           Imagine that ! I mean who invited 'em anyway?
                                                       They don't have a house here.
                                                           So we had ta bark at 'em..........

                                                 I mean we're the bosses 'round here......right ?
                                                                   Ya agree, don't ya?

          Then I tell ya that we really got upset cause Gram 'n Pap found this turtle walkin' on the road

                  and they didn't want 'em ta get hit by a car so they brought 'em back ta our house.

                                       Put 'em right in our exercise pen....I tell ya......OUR PEN!

         There he was just lordin' up the place like he owned it

  'n it is OUR PEN !

                                   So I had ta watch 'em outta the window in our Florida room....
                                 ta make sure he wasn't takin' anythin' that didn't belong ta him.......

I mean that was a HARD JOB....... watchin' that turtle ta make sure he was bein good.......

a really HARD JOB!

But then someone had ta do it...so it was ME!

 

So he spent the night in our exercise pen cause Gram 'n Pap went ta a sports bar ta watch the Steelers play football.

We found out that he was called a gopher turtle....cause they dig tunnels like a gopher.

So what did the little nurd do that night?

He dug himself  inta the ground so we couldn't see 'em anymore 

'n so we would think he had moved on.

 But I was smarter than that....cause I knew he was still there.

Yep, Gram 'n Pap told us that they took 'em ta the nature preserve across the lake

 but I think he's dug 'imself a BIG DEEP TUNNEL

and he's hidin' in our exercise pen.

So everyday I check the perimeter just ta make sure.

 I'll sniff 'em out....yer siree.......
He can't fool me !

The Best Laid Plans.........

Well.....hello ta all.....


We thought we were gonna stay at the cottage fer a week until election day 'n get a roof up over the front deck.........

Boy, were we wrong........ Pap went ta Tidioute on Tuesday ta buy some wood and we figured that we would get started on the roof by Thursday cause they were callin' fer some snow Tuesday night and Wednesday....... But nice weather on Thursday and Friday.

Well, we got snow all right...between 6 and 8 inches and it was wet 'n heavy and it brought down a ton of trees and the electric lines with 'em. Our power went out thru the night Tuesday and Wednesday it was still off and Thursday mornin' we decided ta empty the refrigerator before everythin' spoiled and head home. The power never came on until sometime Friday morning.

'N Toby was enjoyin' himself at the cottage too cause he gets ta run around like a nut there. Here he is lookin' like he owns the place.

The October Snow Storm

Before 'n After

We took a bunch of pictures before and after the storm so ya could see what we saw........

Now wasn't that a sight ta see ????? So we have ta go back up after we vote on Tuesday ta get that roof up.

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

Our Halloween Visitor

This is Parker's first Halloween and even though he didn't really know what Halloween was all about, he got dressed up anyway and stopped over ta show us what he looked like.

He was a turtle and ain't he a cute one ????? We would never look that cute all dressed up.

Aw, the age of innocence.....

Parker the turtle....our big bruver's little boy.......

******************************************************************
Action Heroes Fer Hire

But now before we left the cottage, me 'n Toby got ta tuggin' and Gram got ta videoin'..... Actually we were practicin' our growlin' just in case they ever need any action heroes that make growl noises real well. Tell us what ya think........

Bet ya were scared weren't ya ????? Now tell the truth...... those growl noises were perfect...... weren't they ?????? Gonna scare the pants off anyone who ventures by fer sure....yes siree.....

Yep, 'n my Mom had ta come over ta make sure her little boy child didn't need any help or rescued either. A stare from her put the brakes on any further growlin' 'n tuggin' too.......

Well, we're headed back ta the cottage after the election so we hope this tides ya all over til we get back.
