I’ve only had two on the list for a long time, but now a third thing has mysteriously vanished from my life, and after a year of searching, I’ve accepted that I’ll never know how, or why, or where to find it.
1. My push puppet lion (fifth grade)
2. My friend Bobby (1988)
3. My old laptop bag (November 2007)
On the plus side, Jim’s famous and delicious egg dish is baking in the oven, and I’ll be able to ponder these mysteries with it, bacon, and coffee very soon. Life always has its rewards. Including:
Spaghetti and Survivor night with Lynne, in which I talk her into putting
on goofy elf hats, and she closes her eyes in every photo.
Taking photos of Rex, who looks very much like he’s about to be sent away from his village,
while Lindsey and Rhonda sing the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack to him.
Some of my favorite pictures on your blog is of Rex and some of the great expressions you capture on his face!
He’s a character, that Rex. Thanks!
Great pictures… I love them! You have such a fabulous, warm smile.
Thank you. =)
Now I have “Abraham, Martin, and John” stuck in my head.
OMG, I do that EVERY time I post about him. I enjoy sharing a brain with you.
Bacon makes anything better. More aboutthis egg dish, please?
I will post the recipe after your return. Right now, you’d just forget about it in your excitement to get on the road for Chris and Gary’s Excellent Adventure.
I have a comic book from 3rd Grade that might be hanging out with your push puppet lion, out in the void….
They need to come home. Of course, in my case, the home I shared with the lion is a long, long way from here. I did look it up on Google maps one day and see that there’s still a house there.
Yay! What with your history of houses vanishing, I was worried you’d get a reputation of leaving destruction in your wake.
And you just know I was tempted to locate that entry, about the stone house that’s now the site of a motel, and link to it… but my fingers are doing their best to type as it is, on such a cold day. 32 degrees! Eeeek! : )
Oh, what the hell, here it is.
That took, like 10 minutes. Not my personal best. I got sidetracked. Lots of good stuff in your archives, ma’am. : )
Thank you. I just found something of yours that I need to get framed. And also take a photo of JUST a portion of it for LJ.
I am slowly, slowly, slowly getting through the big pile of stuff I haven’t taken care of for months.
Poor Rex! (My girls can sympathize. Sophie asks if he got a treat for wearing that on his head and having a picture taken.)
Nice picture of you and Lynne! I can tell just from your face that your back is doing better.
I am DETERMINED that when I return to NOLA, I’ll be able to walk and be in a more upbeat mood. Sometimes it makes me sad that ‘Nathan and I met for the first time when I was such a wreck emotionally and physically. I WILL be better. Now can we hope for the return of ‘Nathan to S&S?
P.S. No treat. Tim was holding him. What more could a guy ask for?
Leave it to the Jewish girls to sing the Fiddler songs…
Oy.
But you’d do the hipper Gwen Stefani version of “If I Were a Rich Girl”.
Silly Greg, you think I’m hip. Haha.
You’re pretty hip. After all, you’ve got jewels on your injured ankle boot.
I know you were just trying to console Rexsky’s Russian Jewish side in the face of all this Christmas he’s confronted with.
If I were a rich dog…
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
I have a list like this. Maybe our objects got sucked up with Dorothy’s tornado and are even now figuring out how to escape from Oz?!!
Love the pics 🙂
*grin* Babushka Rex!!
Actually, though, I could do with some headgear like that today – it’s freezing here!!
