  Ah the joys of nature, of the wild...Nature is so beautiful and picturesque. All the animals just running about playing and having a good time right? At least that's what you've been told, lead to believe, right? So those stories or those cartoons where the animals are like gangs or just mean must be just made up? Pure fiction, right? WRONG! They are true! Some of us animals are just plain mean! So mean it would make you humans blush, smh... Don't believe me? Ok well this is a picture of me last year Don't I look cute? But even more than that, don't I look happy, care-free? Not a care or a worry in the world. Ahh, those were the days. I didn't realize how good I had it Roaming freely, playing with friends, chilling by the lake. Eating and drinking  - you know ust living the dream. Well, that dream became a nightmare when THEY showed up UGH.  Some new kids moved in and yeah ok at first it was fun. They were the cool ones - had been on the otherside of the lake....

Hola... Sigh - I'm writing to you today from jail, prison, lock up, the slammer, the clink...ok so you may know it by any of these names. For me, I call it... THE CAGE. It's where you get sent when you do ba- err stuff the people would rather you not to do...and get caught (smile). The severity of the infraction or the recurrence of such infractions determines your sentence length.  Hmm, guess that's how it works for people, too eh? Except for one key diferencia... I don't get a lawyer or a trial. Nope. No jury of my peers. Guilty and...  THE CAGE. Mi Mug Shot So what was the charge this time? Well, mi gente already know how much I like to eat. My food, your food, people food, whatever. As long as it's food and I like it, I want to eat it. Side-note: There's nothing better than people food 😛 So, mi persona gave me something he called a candy cane. Have you had this? Aye Dios Mio!It was sooooooo good! First, he let me sample it. He told me not to bite it but a ...

Hey! So the other day I was out and about (yep, that's still a thing) and happened to see this: And of course, it got me thinking, hmm, wonder what that was about? Lots of thoughts came to mind but then I keyed in on this one thought - maybe it was too heavy to carry around, so they left it there... I mean, bags/baggage can be and often is quite heavy. Big or small, we normally find ourselves adding so many items into the bag, most of the stuff we add we don't even use (like that extra 4 bottles of hand sanitizer, 6 bottles of water, etc rolling around in your bag right now) Next thing you know that bag is weighing us down. And that weight? That weight can keep us from moving forward - from progressing  towards future successes.  All that extra stuff that you've chosen to carry around does its job of dragging you down into a place that seems almost impossible to emerge from. And don't even get me started on what carrying all that baggage into a new relationship can do. ...

Ok so I love a challenge. This was a social media challenge from a group that I'm in. The object of the challenge, was to come up with a rap based off the photo.  And here's my response Walked up to the table, fork at the ready 'bout to chow down on this plate of spaghetti. Had to pull my gun on the chef that made it. How you gonna serve a boss some noodles that's naked? He stared down the barrel as I clicked the hammer He was real mad nervous and started to stammer. Ma'am they said you were the lady in charge That your patience was small but your pockets were large. They said you were the mac and since you were the boss  I guess I just figured you'd have your own sauce. I couldn't be mad, 'cause the chef had a point  I said this here spot is now my new favorite joint. Sketti wasn't right so there wouldn't be a tip But at least this man knew that I had the drip. So, what do you think? LMAO!

I saw this HOME listed online and thought THIS IS...WOW!!! Like I can't even imagine - ok so I can imagine... I AM imagining!!! But like I said, I do not sleep well enough to dream this good. Five bedrooms and EIGHT BATHROOMS!!!   Over 11,000 sqft!!! So how much for all of this? The monthly payment estimate is $21,000!!! A MONTH??!! Or if you wanna pay in full - $4,200,000.00. If someone is interested in a house, I found you one. (YOU'RE WELCOME, LOL!) Just click on the link under the photo, contact the rep at the agency and set up an appointment. Oh, and if you want me to take a look at it with you, just let me know...IJS If you do purchase this beautiful home, I sincerely hope I'm on the house warming party invitation list. Oh AND if you buy this gorgeous home, I need to know what you do for a living to afford a $21K/month mortgage PLUS utilities, housekeeping, yard maintenance, FOOD... etc. and one more thing - ARE THEY HIRING??

So the other day, I was out walking and saw this:  I don't know what made me stop and look at this...okay, maybe it was because it was random, lol. I mean it's an apple... ON A TREE! But it's not hanging from the tree - it's perched ever so carefully in the outstretched "palm" of the tree. (Do trees have palms? Okay, maybe arms would be a better word choice here...)  Someone took the time to do this. Why? What were they thinking about when they did it? Was it for a class/project? Was it just something they thought was funny/cool? Who did it? Does it have deeper meaning? To them? Is it supposed to mean something to us, the casual observer? Whatever their reason, it struck me as photograph-worthy. So I took a few shots. What do you think?   🤔Hmm, maybe I should take up photography. I already have quite a few hobbies (piano, reading, guitar, foreign languages...) But is there even such a thing as having TOO many hobbies?  I think not! Peace, ...
