Mama, is this my knee?
So, deja vu, whatever that is.
All I know is that I have been here, done this! It’s POURING RAIN again, but mama says it’s good for the earth she uncovered when she pulled out the broad beans, so I’ll take her word for it.
And sorry to cut this short, but mama has to make pizza dough, and I have to primp for a Skype with grand-anthros, whatever Skype is. All I know is that mama said, “Loulou, brush your pelt and smooth your whiskers out.”
Sounds like the hit from that musical, Chicago! Whatever that is.
SO…I’m off to primp and turn my stockings down, haha.
Don’t know about rouging the knees. Did they do that in the ’20s?
Cool…
Mama, where’s your rouge?
Oh, pooh, it’ll just wash off in this RAIN!
See!
Rain always makes everyone a bit cranky. We hope it stops raining for you, Loulou.
Well, the sun chased away the rain. YAY. Cranky? ME?
Enjoy your Skype chat, Loulou. It’s the new normal. 😉
Well, I was asleep under the bed and missed the party.
Oooooh – Hoping you had a good skype-ing!!! I’ll bet the grand-anthros were impressed with your odalisque beauty! I got abut a quarter of my Dogador yesterday – since I have been put on a DIET!!! But that means there will be more today – and tomorrow. Gotta look at the good side I guess……
OH, NO. The dreaded four-letter word. Well, I lost a few grams and jumped around this morn like a kitten so everyone here is happy. WE are impressed with your mama’s PAINTING!!!
I bet the grand anthros would love to see you on Skype.
Well, they asked but I was upstairs fast asleep and mama couldn’t get under the bed with her computer, haha.
Now all the creatures of the earth are having to adjust to a new reality, not unlike the depression, but for some it will be. My mommy is glad she learned lessons on how to be thrifty and how to save when you can from her parents and grandparents who did live through the depression. We are praying that people will be able to adjust in this world right now and things will get better.
Patzy
You are so right, and so many homeless are suffering and scared but nama read today that crops farmers were throwing away would be harvested for the needy.
I don’t know about rouging the knees but during the Depression and WWII my Mama told me when silk stockings were unavailable, women would trace a line down the backs of their legs so it looked like they were wearing hose with seams. Seems like a lot of trouble…
My mama told me the same. But evidently that worked…there was so much to adjust to, and so little money and great hardship. Mama ad papa are after-the-war-children, and they both grew up with saving things and prudence about spending and the importance of working. They are thankful for that, glad of it.
