062210 Big Carp of the Day & Dreams

Last night we watched Alice in Wonderland. I asked Boo if he ever had any crazy dreams like that. He told me "Mimi, I only dream about catching fish!" and I believe that.

Uhrich Reunion Traveling Gift

Many, Many years ago Aunt Bertha made this ceramic frog for the family reunion with a cute little poem about it  being a traveling gift. First Lloyd won it, then Mike Johnson. This year Aunt Elsie won it, but since it has been stored at her house for years Lana knew it wasn't going back to her house, so somehow I inherited it and had to figure out what to do with the cute frog with the broken off leg.  Tom had the idea of letting Gavin catch a frog & taking a picture with it. Then I had to decide what to do with the picture so I could throw away the frog. Jen suggested a journal, so that's the plan. That will be easier to store than a breakable frog.

This is the poem Aunt Bertha had on the frog:

Congratulations!

 You have been chosen to be the caretaker of fickle Freida Frog.

 Wearing a tiny bikini, she love to suntan on her favorite log.

 She doesn't eat much and will be quiet as an elf. 

She will stay hidden in a box or sit proudly on a shelf.

She will be a guest at your houses for a year or two.

At the next Uhrich Reunion she will go home with someone new.

Saw this quote today on facebook and thought it was worth keeping.

There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus soley on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but HAPPY! - Unknown

Ask and you shall receive. But it was about a Ford, not a Chevrolet....

A little Gas, A little Oil
A little Spark, A little Coil
A little Tin, A little Board
Put them together and
You have a Ford.
 
and one more song my Dad sings....
while I still remember it...
 
I had a little chicken and he wouldn't lay an egg,
so I poured hot water up and down his leg,
well the little chicken cried & the little chicken begged,
and the pour little chicken laid a hard boiled egg.
(Dad, correct me if I'm wrong.  Pam )

Thank You Aunt Roxie. My life is now complete!!!

Old Mrs Bliss

Went out to pickkkkkkkkkkkk some flowers,

And in the grass,

She wet her annnnnnnnnnkles (ankles) to her knees,

And in a cart,

She let a farrrrrrrrrrmer (farmer) pass her by,

And in a coop,

She let a poorrrrrrr (poore) old chicken die.

Now you know the words.

A SONG MY DAD USED TO SING.
I HEARD HE SANG IT LAST 4TH OF JUL
AT THE CABIN, BUT I MISSED IT.
NOW I JUST NEED THE WORDS TO ONE ABOUT A CHEVROLET.

I'm not sure if this really describes me, but I liked the quote. Somedays it may...

"My life is like a stroll along the beach, as near the ocean's edge as I can go."

FROG HUNTERS

The Frog Hunters were out this week-end. They caught frogs & crawdads. They brought them home (in the house) to share. And of course one of the  frogs got loose. All the girls screamed, Carole jumped on the couch, and the frog somehow jumped right in my glass of water.
