Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Every Buddy!

Long time no see, but I am very busy trying to do lots of houseworky things that I didn't do when I was so sick since last late summer. (I am fine now!)

Tonight I was sitting at the computer, I turned around and Zkhat was sitting on the washer staring at me.  Trying to do some kind of mind meld maybe (I'll have to check her food and water dish!)  I had my camera at the ready, and snapped a picture and got this "I wasn't looking at you, I was just sitting here thinking."  She was definitely STARING though, but here is the picture I got:

   

We are having gruesome weather like lots of the USA is having, just so far, nothing dangerous, but this coming week is predicted for rain
every single day!

Zkhat doesn't care though because she doesn't do outdoors, and Stella just is not for going out in it either except in emergencies.

We hope somewhere, here in the USA, someone is having some  nice weather.

We had some pre-Easter visitors with a little guy named Jacob who was celebrating his first birthday.  I was thinking of what I could buy him for a present when it ocurred to me my son Mike's blocks were up in the attic, 46 years old and in fine shape.  So we gave them to Jacob and he just loved them. Nothing like antique Playschool Blocks for this little guy.

Sending everyone all best wishes and good weather!

Jo, Stella and Zkhat

  8. Well, we'ver had lovely weather, though it's supposed to get up into the 90's this week - which is still OK if we have a breeze. Sending sunny thoughts and kisses from Otto!

  9. I still have many of my kids' toys, and I find they come in very handy for grandkids. The little ones don't seem to mind how old their toys are!

    PS What a fine and happy wee lad that Jacob looks. Maybe he will build a shelter in case of yet more storms..

    1. Carol wanted to answer my question about rabies in OZ. This is what she said:
      "Also in relation to a previous comment by you, we don't have rabies here in Oz, thank goodness. We have very strict quarantine laws so hopefully we never see it here. The first time I saw Christmas Vacaction I wondered why everyone was running away from a squirrel which appeared inside their home. I didn't understand why they were frightened until my hubby explained what rabies was!! Silly me. Take care, Love Carol (and Stella and Rory)

  16. I love seeing Zkhat! My dogs do that to me all the time. The camera comes out, and they look away!

    Antique blocks - that's a lucky little boy!

  17. We KNOW Zkhat was staring because we do that to momma all of the time! But then SHE pretends she is looking at us and it makes us crazy!

    That precious child has no idea what a fabulous gift he received! You are most generous.

  22. What a cool present for little Jacob!
    Z looked like she be plotting something there, maybe how to get rid of Stella?
    I hope the rain has cleared up now, though I see on my news you lot still has it rough. We is watching a remake of 'Fargo' on TV, set in Minnesota and we is thinking of you. Do you sound like they do? I don't know if it is showing over in the US or not?
