Who am I?
You wonder sometimes ...
Who is it on the other side of this screen ...
Tonight ...
I am a woman who fed a whole family of raccoons apple pie
and it was good!
Racoon Update:
They are like people ... we have a Mama and two babies we have watched grow up and they visit now almost every night around 8:30 p.m. They are so used to us, they walk around the front deck while we stand in the picture window and watch them.
We tried not to like them because they can make a mess, but they have been fun to watch. We call them Mama, Junior (the snotty teenager who climbs in the bird feeder to eat and pushes the other two away ... Mama "slaps" him sometimes when he gets to pushy ... lol) and Rocky (the runt ... who used to scurry around the deck and never climb or venture where the others went).
Mama ate the pie. I swear her eyes lit up ... She has a habit of eating a few bites and just like any other Mom, stops to check where her kids are, sometimes, flicking seeds down to them. She didn't share the pie. She pushed it unto the deck, climbed down, and ate it like she was hiding it from the kids ... lol ...
Junior and Rocky were wandering around the yard while Mama ate the whole thing ... I tried to take a picture through the glass but it isn't working very well at all ...
Maybe, next time ...
This afternoon, we went to Lowe's to buy some wood, some glue and some clamps to strengthen the bathroom cabinets. I asked Joey to come with me to help me get the right clamps ...
They have so many different kinds. Joey thought these plastic ones would work ... I wasn't so sure ... I said, "Here, try this ..." and I clamped the plastic one on his finger.
He laughed and said, "That's plenty strong."
I said, "Well, compare." and snapped the metal one on his finger.
His eyes bugged out and he started shaking his hand, trying to get the thing off. I started laughing, got choked up, and while I was trying to catch my breath, Joey was still trying to shake it off his right hand cause his left hand was full of other stuff we were going to buy.
Just then, this older guy came around the corner. His eyes bugged out and that made me laugh even harder. I dropped my pocket book and used two hands to take the clamp off. I said, "Well, which ones should we get?"
Joey pointed to the second clamps and said, "I believe the second one will do the trick."
Just then, the guy peeked over the shelves at us. He didn't know he was so close and that he'd be at eye level with us. All three of us started laughing then. Joey and I would NOT make good field testers and that guy would NOT make a good spy ...
I cooked and baked most of tonight. We're grilling burgers for a crowd tomorrow. I made potato salad, baked beans and pound cake tonight ... There's plenty if any of you want to drop by ...
I hope you all are having a BEAUTIFUL weekend.
Hugggggggggggggggggggggz,
Taylor
(Joey, Mama, Junior and Rocky too!)
