Awww Monday: Fun Facts with Rocky

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

Thank you

  

Dear Auntie HiC,

Did you know Kermit the Frog turned 70 years old this year?

Kermit was created in 1955 and was  originally performed by Jim Henson. 

Henson created the original Kermit by using an old green coat belonging to his mother and two ping pong balls.   Below is the photo of the original Kermit.

Henson described Kermit as an extension of his own personality, characterizing him as “easy going, likable, sometimes a wiseguy, with wry intelligence.”

Kermit’s generally calm but sometimes frazzled personality makes him very relatable for children as they navigate their own feelings and experiences.

Kermit’s iconic line, “It’s not easy being green”, is a metaphor for the challenges in life, and teaches children to embrace who they are, even when things are difficult. 

Kermit even has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! 

As Miss Piggy would say, “Happy Birthday, Kermie”!

Enjoy this song that Kermit sang at Henson’s funeral.

Dearest Rocky Auntie HiC did not know how Kermit was created or the facts about his purrsonality. Favorite Sissy of Angel Madi, dearly loved Kermit and Miss Piggy.  She knew the song by heart.   I think she had hand motions she did..

maybe she learned them on the show or created them but they were precious.

I love this simple song, music and  powerful message.

Lovingly Auntie HiC

Thanks to YAM for fueling my urge to crochet  

Last Saturday I mentioned that  I took 4 of my 7" squares out of the line up.
The squares were 7" but due to heavier yarn and stitches I used the squares were too large.

I had two sage green squares that were too large.

My American Southern Scotch/Irish genes were screaming at me

WASTE not WANT not

I crocheted them two together making a nice pot holder or hot mat 

Breaking news....over the last week I made excellent progress on the Afghan.  I have 20/7" squares

5 rows of 4.  They are joined together and I'm now

working on the border.  Stay tuned!!!!

Nature and Feline Friday

One of our hosts for Nature Friday host LLB Gang   

The fountain near Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA, is often associated with local artist Charles Vess and his work for A Midsummer Night's Dream, though no definitive current source confirms it as a permanent fixture of the theatre grounds. While the theatre's focus is on performances, the surrounding area is known for its artistic attractions, including this fountain and statues that visitors often photograph

It is very whimsical

Words on Wednesday from Ernie da Dachshund

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at

 Comedy Plus   

I, Ernie the retired Attorney, have a bone to chew with Mom.
Without prior approval on Monday, my dear sweet devoted Mom, turned my toy bin topsy turvy,

 As she examined them, she said disgusting things like they are covered petrified squirrel snot aka dried Dachshund Slobber.  They look like molded week old bread aka it was really dusty in my bin.  In my opinion, they had just become acceptable to play with. But no she tossed them into the trash…washed out my toy bin.  Added some Halloween toys to the mix….  

Friends from years gone by, will remember how much Mom dislikes 

Snow Freaks ⛄ or anything with Snow❆in it. 

I think the fitting revenge for this act of treason, will be to place an order with Chewy asking them to charge all toys snow related to Mom's Fleasa card.

***********************

I, Ernie, unlike my Mom, give Mz. Sea Seal Ya prior approval to post this

It is BRILLIANTLY worded. I give it 4 🐾🐾 paws up and my full approval for posting ❗🐾.    And I thank you for your support of me over this horrendous event.  

    SINCERELY,

      Ernie 🐾💙🐾

Ernie you know I always have your back and am available to lift your vertically challenged spirits.

Love

Happy Tuesday St. Augustine, Florida Lighthouse

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

I thank Chelle, my long time gal pal in Florida, for sharing these most gorgeous photos she took of St. Augustine Lighthouse. 

She knows how very much I love lighthouses.

She was on a short road trip with two friends...one had  knee surgery several months ago so no climbing 200 stairs.

Thanks to YAM for fueling my urge to crochet  

True confession I did not crochet any squares the first 3 weeks of September.  Below is a photo of 
what I've completed thus far.  I took 4 out of the line up.
The squares were 7" but due to heavier yarn and stitches I used the squares were too large.
I am currently working to replace them.

Dear Auntie HiC

Dean Koontz said, “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished.”

Buddy was adopted when Mom volunteered at the local animal shelter. One look into his eyes & Mom knew he was going home with her❣️

Buddy loved riding on the pontoon boat.

I loved Buddy, too!

They always take a piece of our heart. 💔

❤️ Kat 

Dearest Kat...OMDsOMCs you were so very lucky to be loved by Buddy and I know he loved you

so very very much.  Just precious memories.

Hugs Auntie HiC

Happy Tuesday with Cali and Dad

  

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

Dear Auntie HiC,

To say I have Daddy wrapped around my little paw would be an understatement! 😹

You know he was the one first one to see me when the Cat Distribution System delivered me to The Hill July, 2024. I worked my magic on him!

I like to sit on the back of his chair.

Daddy sings this song to me because I’m the epitome of perfection. ❣️😻❤️

❤️ 

Cali

Daddy's Girl
