Hi Everyone,
I wanted to tell you what I was doing earlier in the week, but Mom was too busy painting pumpkins to help me! I remember last year we had pumpkins, why can’t we use the same ones this year? It’s not like they are real – they keep for year’s – and don’t rot! I had to lay on the FLOOR in Mom’s craft room while she was painting. (There is a bed there that I used to have in the car.) But every little while Mom got up and started running water in the tub where I have my bath? Then I had to get up and leave the room! I wasn’t ready for another bath? She didn’t run the water very long before returning the the pumpkins? Finally, I stayed to watch what was going on, (she kept interrupting my nap!) and the reason she was running the water – she was cleaning her paint brushes! I slept through the running water, after I figured out it didn’t mean a bath!
When Dad said “fall” is coming, I wasn’t quite sure what he meant? Boy did I find out when I found a BIG brown leaf in the yard. The leaf is almost as big as I am? This leaf is from Dad’s favorite tree, (yes, it’s real). When he first got the tree, (he ordered it from the internet) it didn’t look like it was going to live? It was supposed to be a “fast growing” tree, but after the first winter, it didn’t look like it was going to grow at all. After the first “shock” of living in our yard, it has continued to grow – FAST. He has to cut the bottom branches off to mow under it!
Another sign of fall – I wear my pumpkin coat? I thought it was a “little” tight, but for a month I guess I can stand it? Misty got a NEW coat! Well, she didn’t need a coat last year – she wasn’t here! I thought the older sister got new clothes, and the younger sister got the “hand-me-downs”? I don’t think whining about this will get me a new coat, besides, Misty has to wear the same thing for a coat AND a Halloween costume! Maybe I’ll get new costume?
When we went for a ride to another “Village”, (we couldn’t go to the same place we did last week – someone might have recognized us as the “flag” people) it was a cool day so we wore our orange coats. While we were sitting on a bench waiting for Mom and Aunt Deb to finish their shopping, it got too cold for Uncle Howard and Dad to stand around so we walked back to get the car – and get warmed up! We didn’t see any of the friends we met last time we were there, and we didn’t go in the water!
Misty is coming to stay with us while Aunt Deb and Uncle Howard go to New York. They can’t take Misty because she doesn’t have a Passport? They drive across Canada and if Misty couldn’t get through Custom’s they would have to leave her on the Border until they came back – like that would happen!
Love and Kisses,
Ruby
