A random holiday assortment

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth. I know I did. Mr. Gadget and I spent some time relaxing on our deck, watching buzzards soar overhead and wondering if they were keeping an eye on the two-lane road for tasty morsels.....or waiting us out.

Later we went inside for a special holiday meal of leftover lasagna (his) and a Lean Cuisine (mine). We're getting ready for our summer trek to the Calcondo, and this always requires depleting the contents of the fridge. Maybe I should just invite the buzzards in.

Before I go any further, I have to admit I made a small mistake. So sorry. Right after I published my last post I realized the bear is actually a dog. Whoops. But I still think it was a beary good idea.......doggone it.

And now a few bits of randomness:

I've never thought my house was clean enough to hire a cleaning lady. But maybe my feet are finally looking good enough for a pedicure.
Big City Girl was recently asked by a store clerk to show some identification. The clerk, after noticing organ donor printed on BCG's driver's license, asked "Did it hurt?"

And just when I thought there were no more characters to add to my collection I've come up with a new idea. Here's a hint:

I've already done some mental planning. There will be flannel. There will be coffee. There will be bunny slippers. And if I can figure out how to make the slippers, you just know what will happen. Sister Mary and Spud and Lois and the others--they'll all be wanting them....
