A mix of family stories that are true. The only photos I have are in my mind's eye.

I asked PiZap's for photo help.

DOG TALES

My cousin Marion:

One thing about families they never FORGET.

Evidently during the early years of WWII, my maternal grandparents, named their dog Warbond, I'm guessing after the Warbond stamps.

When my older cousin, Marion, was a toddler (she was born in 1939, she and her family lived next door to my Annie Ma. The story I heard about Marion was particular funny/strange. For some reason, Marion would see Warbond at the door...she would rub his head while asking, "are it raining out there Warbond"! I never really found out why she did this...But Marion was kinda weird.

My aunt had small dog named Snowball. Evidently nosey DNAs ran in the K9 members of the family too. He was the official door answerer. If he liked whomever was at the door he somehow pushed it open with his nose to let them in.

Once he forgot to move...the end of his happy tail was caught it the screen door.

I'm told he hardly noticed. At least that is the story and they stuck to it.

Human Tales

My parents were raised on the same street,but several blocks apart. Mama used to walk by Daddy's house on the way to work at Montgomery Wards aka MonkeyWards.

I'm told sometimes Daddy followed her hoping to get up the nerve to speak to her.

Her route was passed his home then thru the Park. Daddy was following ~~stalking~~ her one day watching her long black pony tail sway back and forth, when all of a sudden he witnessed a bird drop poop onto Mama's swinging pony tail. Daddy supposedly said a big thank you to the bird . Then politely approached Mama to tell her she had bird poop in her pony tail. And as they say the rest is history.

Now one told on me... but I have no recollection.

When I was about 3 years old, they told me they heard a strange nosie coming from the kitchen in wee hours of the morning. It was ME, I was standing in the kitchen eating a stick of butter.????!!!! I do 100% believe this to be very true. I still love butter but I don't eat it as a midnight snack.

Now I'll share a story from my daugher's childhood.

She started talking (she got her gift for gab from me) almost before she started walking. She was putting together complete sentences before she was 20 months old. One evening after bedtime stories, I thought she was asleep.

All of a sudden I heard this wee voice say, 'Mommy you look like a rabbit, your nose is wigglying'!!! The rest of the story was, I trying not to sneeze, thus my wiggly nose.

Rabbit with a wiggly nose.

I hope you enjoyed today's stories.

Dearest Auntie HiC

It is I, Cali, newly crowned Queen Bee of Georgia...

I wanted to provide a quick update on my progress.
I’ve expressed (hissed) the new house rules now that I’m here. Da’ Boyz are slow learners, but are catching on.
Rule Number 1: I’m the Queen on the House! Treat me accordingly.
Rules 2-10: Refer to Rule Number 1! 😹
I must say, my brothers are very respectful & they’re giving me the space I require to feel comfortable.

Mom says she believes Kat & Rocky are “quite smitten by the kitten”! 😻

I must say, I think Rocky has a “Kitty Crush” on me❣️

Hopefully, we’ll all be snuggling together soon❣️

Wordless Wednesday and FFF reminder

Thank you to our Hostess

Sandee at Comedy Plus

Biscuitville biscuits are wonderful but OMCs

HOLD THE SPAM for me.

Concerns about Spam's nutritional attributes have been raised due to the fact that it contains twice as much of the daily dietary recommendation of fat as it does of protein, and about the health effects of salt and preservatives

THE REST OF THE STORY

Mom was awakened Thursday (July 18th) morning, by Dad sticking his phone in her face saying, “This cat is outside, meowing,

Hello kind sir might you have a bit of water and food for a weary traveler?"

This wasn’t the peeps’ first Stray Cat Rodeo, so Mom called all the local vets, animal shelter, & posted on local social media; while Dad scheduled FeLV test for the afternoon.
