A Mostly Fun Weekend

Hello dear friends.  Last weekend just whipped by.  That is, except for two hours of it, which seemed to drag on forever.  

Saturday was a beautiful, crisp Fall day.  I decided to advantage of it and go to Farm Day which was sponsored by the Audubon Society.

This lady had the most beautiful, soft scarves, gloves, and lots of pretty accessories.  Her name is Cheryl and she and Bronie own Sippican River Farm.  All of these lovely accessories are hand knitted using fleece from alpacas.  Every item is one-of-a-kind.  

Are these not the cutest little alpaca baby shoes?

Ooops, speak of the devils alpacas.  I asked them where they got their hair done - but they wouldn't spill.

I'm not kidding.  I need this haircut to cover my "11" lines.  I think this one just might do the trick!

Next I hit the beehive booth.

And the moody King Bee.

Then, I visited with the chair man and the tea lady.

Yup, I knew you would be jealous.

I think he had "the hots" for me.  Tea Lady kept giving me dirty looks.

Farm Day would not be complete without a chubby bunny.

Or a diva cow.  This is Elsie.  At least that's what I thought she said.  She told me she was bored and not in the mood to talk.

On Sunday, we went to see a movie.  Unfortunately, it was the Mister's turn to choose. 

First of all, in all fairness, I think the title of this movie should be changed from:

Fury

to

BLURRY 

If you are a fan of listening to the drone of monotonous machine gun fire, witnessing buckets of blood and gallons of guts, and watching enough tanks to supply two wars,  this movie is for you.  As a reward for the women in the audience for sticking around for the first half of the movie, the director decided to showcase Brad shirtless for about 10 minutes.  

This is one of the only movies that I was hoping all the main characters would meet their end because that would mean this drudgery would be over. 

The reason for my title change is the two hours spent in the theatre watching this film is just a blur to me.  A very loud blur.

By the way... the Mister loved it.

I told the Mister that it is my turn to pick the movie next weekend.  I have decided that instead of going to the movies, we will stay in to watch every Nicholas Sparks and Nora Ephron movie ever made.

I will be featuring  dogs that need a loving home every couple of weeks.  The dogs have been rescued by a fabulous organization called Shaggy Dog Rescue.  This is the same wonderful agency that our sweet Chili came from.  Even though these dogs are in Houston, they can be shipped to the Northeast by another great organization, Rescue Road Trips.  Everything will be arranged by the fabulous Kathy Wetmore, founder of Shaggy Dog Rescue.

This little darlin' is Morgan.  He is a giant yorkie/teddy bear/basset mix.  Sweet Morgan is about 4 years old and 30 pounds.  He was very timid and shy at first, but now he loves to run in the yard and be cuddled.

If you are interested, you can contact Kathy at Shaggy Dog Rescue here.

Happy Tails!

My two babies...

Life is a lot more fun with a best friend!
