| This weekend is my mom's (Cathie's) 60th birthday. Happy birthday, big C. You don't look a day over [insert whatever age you want to look]. For 60 years you have done a pretty good job confusing, terrifying, loving, amusing, and entertaining all of the people around you. I don't know many people who are as loved and admired as you are, and as always, I feel so lucky to get to call you "mom." Here's to another 60 years! (Photo courtesy of Mindy Young) |

Nice trick Julius. I'll be locking my door from now on. Thanks for sharing this warning. Please let me know if/when she learns how to pick locks!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Eli. Funny stuff, especially loved the images that will make your brane brake.
ReplyDeleteThe link to the classical sculptures doesnt seem to be working for me. Found this one if anyone has the same issue.

DeleteLeotrane and Julius are working together clearly.
ReplyDeleteYay! One of mine got on!
ReplyDeleteSo, I work in an office close to a body of water... we get snakes in our building A LOT. OK? Can we say hazard pay?? Anyway, I had convinced myself I was safe bc I am upstairs. I was wrong. So wrong. One climbed up the stairs. IT CLIMBED THE STAIRS, Y'ALL. Thank God it wasn't as big as the one in the video, but I don't care. No snake is a good snake, amirite??
