THE CAT IS AWAY

APPARENTLY THIS IS WHAT THE BEAN GETS UP TO WHEN MAMA IS NOT AT HOME.

ADDENDUM

ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE FRITH IN HER PRETTY PINK DRESS.. MAMA FORGOT TO DOWNLOAD IT YESTERDAY. CAN'T TELL ME THAT ISN'T THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEAN IN ALL THE WORLD.

CRABBY FRITH REVISITED

MAMA HAD TO GET HER CAR SERVICED THIS AFTERNOON (TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THANK-YOU TOYOTA CANADA) SO FRITH AND PAPA CAME ALONG TO HELP OUT. HERE IS THE FRITH, READING THE DESSERT MENU. FIRST.

FOR THE UNINITIATED, DINNER AT CRABBY JOE'S INVOLVES FIRST PUTTING HALF A BANANA IN ONE'S MOUTH AND THEN RUSHING AROUND THE PATIO LIKE A MAD THING FOR THREE QUARTERS OF AN HOUR.

THE NEW, BUT DIFFERENT

THIS MORNING, FRITH AND MAMA OPENED THE BACK DOOR ONLY TO SEE THIS EXTREMELY MYSTERIOUS SIGHT.

WE WERE QUITE CONFUSED, UNTIL WE GOT OUT INTO THE LIGHT COMPLETELY AND TURNED AROUND.

AN OCCASION

OMI'S FRIENDS ROLPH AND SABINE ARE HERE VISITING FROM GERMANY. IT WAS A GOOD OCCASION TO TRUCK OUT THE PRETTY PINK DRESS, AND MODEL IT IN THE DOORWAY OF OMI'S HOUSE.

SELF-PORTRAITS IN SUNSHINE

FRITH AND MAMA, SITTING IN A SUNBEAM COMING THROUGH THE HIGH EAST WINDOW.

WEEKEND A LA SUNSHINE

PAPA BOUGHT THE FRITH A ROCKING CHAIR AT A GARAGE SALE ON SATURDAY. SHE TURNS OUT TO LIKE ROCKING VERY MUCH. ONE COULD ALMOST SAY SHE HAS BEEN ROCKING OUT. IF ONE WASN'T QUITE AWARE THAT WOULD SOUND DUMB.

FRITH HELPED MAMA DO SOME GARDENING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SHE'S TAKEN QUITE A SHINE TO MAMA'S LITTLE SPADE AND WEED PULLER, GIFTS FROM AUNTIE JENNIE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THESE TOOLS NOW HAVE OFFICIAL NAMES. THEY ARE CALLED PLEASE AND THANK-YOU. PLEASE IS THE WEED-PULLER, FRITH'S FAVOURITE.

FRITH AND MAMA SPENT SATURDAY MORNING IN THE PARK. FRITH WORKED WITH HER BUCKET AND SHOVEL SET IN THE GRAVEL.

WHILE MAMA LAY ON A QUILT LOOKING UP AT THE BIG BLUE SKY, WONDERING HOW LIFE COULD POSSIBLY GET ANY MORE WONDERFUL.

CHALK

FRITH "BORROWED" HOLDEN'S HAT AND CHALK BUCKET FOR THE WEEKEND.

ALTHOUGH SOME SIDEWALK DRAWING ALSO HAPPENED, MOSTLY MAMA AND FRITH WALKED AROUND THE BLOCK MANY, MANY TIMES. FRITH CARRIED THE BUCKET OF CHALK EVERYWHERE WE WENT.

PATCH

MAMA AND THE FRITH, RIDING HOME AFTER MAMA GOT HER EYE FIXED UP. ALL IS WELL, LET THE PIRATE JOKES COMMENCE.

LETTER R REDUX

THE LETTER R. STILL ROCKING THE BACK SEAT, YO.
