Nature and Feline Friday

 Nature Friday host LLB Gang  


HOSTESSES Rosy and Sunny...just an itty bitty heads up
BUNNY ALERT
Nieces Rosy and Sunny
Do the bunnies in your yard blend in with their surroundings like this  Peter cotton tail bunny.
OMDs he was quite comfy with his camouflage or perhaps just 
cray-cray.  He let me get within just a foot or so to snap
and he actually posed.   I told him all about my nieces in New Mexico who were expert bunny wranglers...he was not impressed.
He was so embarrassed to hear this he wiggled his years in disbelief.

  MADI AND MOM have a discussion

Mom: Madi.....Madi I'm talking to you.  I know you are awake
I see your ear moving.

 Madi:  Well I'm awake now...
Mom:  Why is my spread wrinkled?
Madi: I was trying to get under the spread.
Mom: Why aren't you sleeping on the 'special floral' mat I made for you?
Madi:Oh you mean the one you want me to sleep on to keep my lovely furs off the spread?
Mom: Yes that one.
Madi:  I repeat I was trying to get under the spread.
Mom: It is too hot to be under the spread. 
Madi: I KNOW but remember you don't want my furs on the spread.
 
 Madi:  AND....I don't like that mat you made and besides....
 ....you are letting my stuffed bunny clone, Spring, sleep on the
spread, and if she can sit on it so can I!!
Mom:  Madi sometimes you can be a very, very opinionated feline.
Madi: YAWNING!! Opinionated and feline are one in the same...
THE END
(PS never debate with a feline)

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday #265


 Today we join

Angel Sammy and brudder Teddy
at Sammy's Poetry Corner




SHE DREAMED OF A HOUSEBOAT
SAILING THE WATERS OF THE BAYOU
TO AND FRO SHE WOULD FLOAT
DOCKING AT EXOTIC PLACES
MEETING NEW PEOPLE
MUCH TO HER DISMAY THIS BOAT
COULD NOT EVEN FLOAT TO THE 
MOAT


Thankful for a very good electrician who came last week to repair
the 2 small 'mushroom' lights along our drive way and sidewalk. 
For many years, they have been leaning and barely visible. 
They are on the same switch as the lantern.
 So many repairmen are not willing to come out for small jobs.  This was a small job with a very big improvement
Our driveway is steep.  Nice to have it well lit after dark.

Mission BBQ  just opened.  And it is close to home.

We haven't been yet.  



However, when I took these photos they were smoking BBQ in this big smoker in the back of the truck.  There appeared to be a staff training and lunch starting too.


THEIR STORY MAKES ME SO HAPPY 

Our Story

MISSION BBQ opened its doors for business on September 11, 2011.

Ten years after our world changed forever, in some small way we wanted to change
 it back.

As the founders of MISSION BBQ, we strive every day to remind everyone what
 makes Our Country great—its heroes.

Who are we? Two friends passionate about BBQ, patriotic for Our Country,
 and who believe in running a business with meaning and purpose.

We believe there is nothing more American than BBQ. And nobody more American 
than the brave men and women who have sworn to protect and serve Our 
Communities and Our Country. We do what we do for the love of our soldiers, 
firefighters, police officers, first responders—all our loved ones in service.

We set across this great land from Texas to Kansas City, the Carolinas to 
St. Louis…to discover the secrets of great BBQ.

Every day we strive to serve you authentic BBQ made from the freshest, 
most delectable ingredients, and serve it to you in a patriotic dining room 
filled with tributes to those who’ve made Our Country great, given to us by t
he people who earned them. Stop by at lunchtime, and you might catch 
us during our daily salute to the Stars and Stripes.

We don’t do any of this because we have to. It’s because we want to.

At MISSION BBQ, we are Proudly Serving Those Who Serve

Come help us complete Our Mission.
