Ah forget it, I’ll celebrate now. I went over 18,000 views today!!!
Would you celebrate with me?
Can’t you see I’m in kind of a bind?
Yes, I see that. I’ll call for some help. HELP!!! HELP!!
Can’t you see, I’m tired? Wait till you get to 20,000. You just toot your own horn too often anyway! Go away!
Sure, sure. Bye.
Zzzzzz
Uh sure, I’ll stop by. What time are you celebrating?
Soon as I send out the post! You know how to get here?
Yeah, sure. You can count on me…” (hahaha little does she know.)
continuously i used to read smaller articles which also clear their motive, and that is also happening with this article which I am reading at this place.
Who are you? Did I invite the folks in the spam folder? I must have.
Did you see the last comment I left you?
No, did you say something mean?
I don’t know, you seemed a little upset.
No, how could I be upset with you. You’re one of my favorite bloggers. We’re good. 🙂
It’s too hot to travel. The planes here in Australia can’t even take off because of the extreme heat! You folks in California get all the cold. Can you hold off till March when the weather cools off a little. You won’t have many more visits by then, will you?
I understand. We get into the 110s in our summer. Go jump in the pool. 🙂
I can’t read your stats on Mom’s iPad besides stats make me sleepy.
I have even better coffee here than at Starbucks.
*yawn* ok maybe.
So what about you? What are you doing today. Want to stop by and party??? What’s your favorite party snack? Who’s your favorite foodie blogger? Got a favorite party beverage? What about venue? Who’s your favorite travel blogger? We might have it at the Running P. It’s got a ring to it. Marsha Lee’s at the Running P. RSVP 🙂

See I just told Glorious you like to dance, so head on out. Manny’s been in charge of the music, but you might want to give him a hand. Save a dance for me, though – even though I’m not single, I’ve been taking lessons, so I love to practice when I can!!! Ute isn’t here yet, so when she gets here we’ll have her show us the latest moves. 🙂

He saw your picture on the computer, and he was hoping you would be her. He’s a terrible flirt! I just happen to have Cadbury milk chocolate right here. And there are tons of smiles all over the house and outside, too. Ralph just got here, so he can show you all around, and I know he likes to dance. Alastair is here. Do you know him? He loves music. Renee loves music, too, but she isn’t here yet. She’s from New Zealand, so it takes her a little while to get here. She plays the guitar quite well. Oh Glorious, you’re going to have such fun!!!

Ho Ute!!!!! i’m so glad you came!!! Cheers to you. I’ve sort of promised the folks that you’d be teaching us some new dance steps!! White wine coming up. Help yourself to chips and sandwiches. I sent Ralph out to help Manny with the dance music, but I think he and Manny got into it a bit. I guess Manny was being a little aggressive about choice of music. You know how grumpy bears can get when someone crosses them. Poor Ralph, he might come back if he knows you are here to dance with. :). Enjoy the wine, and the other guests;). Thanks for coming!!!

Such downcast canines in compromising positions. Oh, what about Cats?? No cat pixes. We have six, four are adopted from multiple donors. My son left one, a Bengal cat most regal; the house we bought years ago-the owner turned over the house to us and left,but a little female feline was left behind!! Fyodor, the newest, came out of the brush, mewling for help. Of course he became Cat No. 6!

Thank you Sir! I must apologize. We really don’t know each other well, and I have acted like we have know each other for 20 years, and indeed I almost feel that we have through AJ. Of course, you would have 6 cats. We are down to only two. We have had more. We started out with 0, then went immediately to 4. Mama and Scardy are all that is left of the original 4. Mama and Callie had tons of kitties before we could catch them and have them fixed, but we got well acquainted in the meantime. Several of their kitties are scattered throughout the neighborhood ensconced in their own homes now. My favorite is Pugs, and some day I will tell her story. Another favorite is Lucky – a different litter, and a very good story as well. Callie was killed by a racing car down our lonely street while we were away on vacation. She was never really tamed. The other cats that have come by have never really been ours, and Mama and Scardy are not very welcoming, shall we say? We can’t have our cats inside because V is allergic to cats, but that doesn’t keep him from feeding them every day. OUTSIDE! Well, it’s almost 4:00 alm, so I’ll sign off here. Lots of love to you and Babs 🙂 ML
