? Jeepers!?
It has been so long since Mommy let me make a story, I don??t
know if I remember how.? She??s gettin?? really stingy with
her typing machine for some reason.
Lots of stuff has been going on, some
good, some bad.? Spring isn??t quite as wonderful as everyone
says!? I don??t like spring house cleaning, planting flowers,
and junk like that.? ? Mom gets tired, sore, and cranky.?
Sure doesn??t make for much fun around this joint when that
happens.?
Then, once the grass started getting
green and flowers popped up, things got really ugly around
here.? Hank and me kept getting scolded for pulling grass
runners and digging in the stupid flower sheds.? (Oh pooh ??
???flower beds???)? Get this ?? Mom bought a gun! ? Almost scared
me to death!? In case you don??t know, she really and truly
is a descendant of that Dalton Gang bunch.? How scary is
that?? I don??t figure it??s a good idea for her to be running
around loose with a gun.? I??m a very good girl now, but Hank
doesn??t seem to care at all.? How stupid is he anyway?? He
just comes in soppin?? wet about a dozen times a day.
Speaking of Hank!? I??d like to know
when he??s going to shape up.? That operation thingy still
isn??t working.? I need to tell Dr. C. she did something
wrong because I think it backfired.? I wonder if doctors??
get ???overs.???? I need to check into that ???cause I think I
might be getting?? really close to a nervous breakdown.
For Easter we both got new toys.? You
know - those really good ones that have songs in their
tummy!? I can??t figure out how that works.? People don??t
even have songs in their tummies ?? sometimes when I snuggle
I hear some rumbles in there, but no songs!? Anyway, Hank
loved his stupid little white bunny.? It had some song about
an Easter Bonnet, and he played it all day long,
day after day, after day.? Then, he??d take it
outside and hold it in his mouth while he tinkled!? How
embarrassing is that?? I??m so glad we have a bench! (Well,
shucks - ???fence???)
Well, last week Dad came home with some
new toys.? Hank??s new bear has a prayer in its tummy, and
now Hank prays day and night!? Maybe he??s found religion and
will change his evil ways.? I certainly hope so!? I think
Dad knew what he was doin?? when he picked out that one.
Mommy has a typing-machine friend that
writes stories, her name is Barbara, and I think she??s a
carpenter too.? Well, that??s what her name says!? Sure hope
she doesn??t hit her finger with the bammer (gadzooks ??
???hammer???) or she??ll have trouble writin?? more of those
stories.? Anyway, she has a new grand daughter Schnauzer,
and a couple of weeks ago she was keeping that little
puppy.? One morning she sent an email inviting Hank and me
to come play.? I got so excited when Mom read it to us, then
I got really mad because we didn??t get to go!? She gave me
some lame excuse about how far it was to her house.? I think
that was another one of those lies she tells me sometimes.?
I sure do hope her writer/carpenter friend doesn??t think we
were being rude!
One thing I??m excited about is going to
Kansas later this month.? Yep!? Mom, Hank, and me are going
to stay with Grandpa B. for a couple of weeks.? Oh boy ??
sump pump here I come!? Maybe I??ll just spend the whole time
in the basement, because Hank doesn??t think it??s neat at
all.? Now, that would be a good vacation.? Just my pump and
me, and no Hank!? Yippee??¦??¦??¦
Mom and Grandpa B. are busy making
plans to go fishing a bunch of times.? Plus, my Spelling
Uncle and Aunt Vic will be coming while we are there.? And,
I??ll get to go to the nursing home and visit my friend,
Marvene! I love to go there ?? all those little people smile
and hug me.?
I need to start packing stuff.? It
takes girls a long time to get ready for a trip ya know.?
Hank won??t plan ahead or anything ?? he??ll just jump in the
car.? Learning to live with him is hard work ?? I just don??t
understand ???boyz!???
