Rabbit Rabbit / Todd on Monday

 Today we start a new Month.  If you say Rabbit Rabbit the first day you can get good Luck.

Todd does not believe this. He is still sad....but to be honest his expression is sad most of the time.

He will come to get treats and loving but he misses Molly...So do I.

 It has been rainy and cold.  Todd go outside and do his "business" and gets right back.

Looking at our Creeping Charlie crop.  Then more pictures.

Treats

Scratches.

Cleaning the plate.

Then watching T V.





Side glances are nice.

Can you see that I touched up this photo?

Thanks for stopping to see us.  We need a friend for Todd!

Rabbit Rabbit ~ Apiarian

Were I to be the founder of a new sect,

I would call them Apiarians, and, after the example of the bee,

advise them to extract the honey of every sect."  

- Thomas Jefferson

"Silence is letting what there is be what it is.

In that sense it has to do profoundly with God:

the silence of simply being.

We experience that at times when there is nothing

we can say or do that would not intrude on the integrity

and the beauty of that being."

~Rowan Williams (b.1950)

“We have to free half of the human race,

the women, so that they can help to free

the other half.”

~Emmeline Pankhurst

"Once in a while, when everything is just right,

there is a moment of magic.

People can live on moments of magic."

~Sarah Caldwell, opera conductor (1924-2006)

“The happiness of your life depends

upon the quality of your thoughts.”

― Marcus Aurelius

“True peace not merely the absence of war,

it is the presence of justice.”

~Jane Addams, the first woman to be awarded the

Nobel Peace Prize, 1931

"To laugh often and love much,

to win the respect of intelligent persons

and the affection of children;

to earn the approbation of honest citizens

and endure the betrayal of false friend;

to appreciate beauty;

to find the best in others;

to give of one's self;

to leave the world a bit better,

whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,

or a redeemed social condition;

to have played and laughed with enthusiasm

and sung with exultation;

to know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The further a society drifts from truth the more

it will hate those who speak it.”

― George Orwell

"A discerning person, when eating grapes,

takes only the ripe ones and leaves the sour.

Thus also the discerning mind carefully marks the virtues

which can be seen in any person.

A mindless person seeks out the vices and failings ...

Even if you see someone sin with your own eyes,

do not judge; for often even your eyes are deceived."

~John Climacus (525-606)

Rabbit Rabbit/Happy Hump Day and Happy Birthday to my Sister

Rabbit Rabbit

My Sister's birthday is today.  She is just 10 years younger than I.

Here are some more photos.

My brother Jay wrote this poem when he was 12 and I was 1 year old.
" I have a little sister whose name is Ginny,
She isn't fat and she isn't skinny.
She has a little red wagon,
And when I go out she is always taggin'.
She is very sweet, but when she eats
She isn't very neat.
She really is our pride and joy
Even though she is not a boy."

Rabbit Rabbit

Happy June.. My how the time is flying so fast.

Found for Friday / Rabbit Rabbit

It's the Spring of 1957 and Bobby goes to pick up his date. He's a pretty hip guy with his own car. When he goes to the front door, the girl's father answers and invites him in. "Carrie's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" he says. 

"That's cool," says Bobby. 

Carrie's father asks Bobby what they're planning to do. Bobby replies politely that they will probably just go to the soda shop or a movie. Carrie's father responds, "Why don't you two go out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it." 

Naturally, this comes as a quite a surprise to Bobby--so he asks Carrie's dad to repeat it. "Yeah," says Carrie's father, "Carrie really likes to screw; she'll screw all night if we let her!" Well, Bobby's eyes light up at that. A few minutes later, Carrie comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt and announces that she's ready to go. Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby escorts his date out the front door. 

About 20 minutes later, Carrie rushes back into the house, slams the door behind her, and screams at her father: "DAMMIT DADDY! IT'S CALLED THE TWIST!!!"

A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said 'No change yet'.

Don't trust people that do acupuncture, they're back stabbers.

I used to have a fear of hurdles, but I got over it.

The shoemaker did not deny his apprentice anything he needed. 

He gave his awl.

The roundest knight at king Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference.

There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

A new type of broom came out, it is sweeping the nation.

A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired.

Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food coloring. The doctor says I'm OK, but I feel like I've dyed a little inside.
