The Mental P Mallards

Come and listen to a story about a duck named Ned

A green headed mallard with big ideas in his head,

Then one day he's floating without a care,

And right through the pond came the Missus on a tear.

Hormonal she was, to a tee.

Well the first thing you know ol' Ned's a swimming fiend,

Kinfolk said Ned, she needs a new scene

Said Mental P's the place you really ought to be

So they loaded up with eggs and moved to Mental P's.

Mama's that is.

Swimming pool, and the dawg don't care.

The Mental P Mallards!

Dawg don't care.

~~~

Nope, not at all.

Mental P?

She cares.

She doesn't want these prizes in the pool.

Please.

Please?

Site of the Day

I'd like to take a break in all the bird action to bring you all the following public service announcement.  My daughter introduced me to an amazing site for free e-cards. It is called Someecards, and it will knock your socks off.  There is a card for any occasion or non-occasion you can imagine.  I will post some of my favorites.  Well, not really all of them, because my real favorites are a little bit vulgar unladylike.

I don't want to offend anyone since I am always so proper and all, so here are the PG ones I like:

I wish I had thought of that all those years ago.  

My dogs are smarter than most of the sitters we've ever had.

I don't feel that takes any explanation.

Or this:

Well, unless you have the audacity to steal my songbirds.

Read: please don't tell anyone I can't fit into anything.

I know many people who feel that way when they go into a Starbucks with me.

And, I just want to go on record right here and apologize.

Not really.  

So, if you're looking for something unique, funny, raunchy or just plain old random, this is worth a visit.  You'll probably bookmark it immediately.  Let me know what you think.

See what I mean?

Annie Check Your Pond!

Got Mallards?

Not only do I have all the goldfinches,

I've got the ducks, too.

Sorry Ann.

Well, not really.

Are there any left in your pond?

Aren't they cute?

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard,

Out for their morning dip.

Happy Day

I spent many years wishing for a baby.

It was a long and often sorrowful path.

So I wish each and every one of you a beautiful, blessed day, today.

Whatever your own path may be.

Pot Luck Saturday

Listen up people.  There's a pot luck over at that Evil Chef Mom's today.  And the best part? You can bring anything you want.  

I'm bringing some of my cocktail napkins.

I like to collect them.

I have grown-up ones, too.

But they are a little bit boring.

So I'm bringing the fun, ungrownup ones.

Here we go:

Krysta, thanks for having us.

Happy Mother's Day!

Cheers!

An Evening of Cards

Last night we got together to eat and drink play bridge.

And I had a visit with Dora's betrothed, Louie.

Here is his mommy, Grandma Candy.

She was such a gracious hostess.

I think she's going to be a nice mother-in-law.

I got to do some wedding planning.

We are definitely having the wedding  at their house.

I think Dora should walk down this path.

I think they will then exchange their vows overlooking the pool.

Can you believe how beautiful this is?

I think Dora will be very happy.

The Bride:

This is the ceiling in the powder room.
I love this place.

Maybe I should marry Louie and move in.

Here is another shot of Louie with his mommy and his daddy.

He is maybe a little bit spoiled.

Unlike Dora.

Dora is perfect.

They may need a little pre-marital counseling.

Oh yeah, we played cards, too.

And those chips?

I didn't have a single one.

Such willpower.

This was the best hand I had all night.

And I lost.

Detente Thursday

Mental, Annie and Jules make nice.

With the help of Dr. Chardonnay.

Yesterday.

It's a beautiful day today.  

We are all up and writing our blogs.

Peace reigns in all the land.

Nary a Goldfinch to be seen.

Except in my yard.
