My son, Jake, who is now 33, with his pony Peter. Yes, Peter has Dixie cups on his ears. And yes, Peter is still alive and well and living with Jake's sister Sara and her two little boys!
Our Paducah Kennel Club is smack dab in the middle of putting on our HUGE exciting Agility Trial. Our four day trial filled to capacity, and we started on Thursday at four with more than 200 runs. Today, Saturday and Sunday we have 330 something runs! Go us! We've gotten in the paper, on the TV news (NBC affiliate WPSD), and we're on the net HERE and HERE and HERE!
So it's a fun busy exciting time and I barely got my Friday Shoot Out up but here we go.
Here in Paducah, baby Ben helped celebrate Lindy Loo and Emmett's birthday
Two Halloween's ago, Baby Ben came as a giant squeak toy!!!
Grandson William sang Oh SOLE MIO!!! while we all made pasta from scratch.
They were magical times!

We've never made pasta from scratch.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's because whenever I sing Oh SOLE MIO people run screaming from the room?
Or maybe its because we don't have a pasta maker?
Or some combination of the two?
Congrats on a successful trial! Friends + fur = lots of FUN! I was hoping for another picture of your handsome son all grown up.... but no. *sigh* ;-)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful selection ....Oh sole mio!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely smile inducing post!
ReplyDeletePeter the Pony is still alive, and in the family: I love it. Such a sweetie not to mind those dixie cups on his ears. Have fun with the agility trials, and enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeletegiant squeak toy, i love it!

Barry - no pasta machine here! That was Bill's Mom's old 'geetar' - a board with taught wires - you place the thinly rolled dough on top of the wires, roll your pin over it and voila! Linguini!!!
ReplyDeletethe agility trials are going just fantastic - I'm so proud of our little club!
All sounds good to me!

I love your last shot...it's poetry :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll ask what others haven't. Why Dixie cups on the ears? What great picture of your favorite children, Patience--two and four-legged.
ReplyDeletewhat did you learn/teach at your writer's conference?
Happy Barkday to Lindy Loo and Emmett! And tell Bill I have my Nonna's ravioli cutter. We could have a great time.

I love the squeaktoy costume! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteYour entry is super AND it prompted me to check out your book on Amazon! Now I'm going to google Whippets so I can find out why you love them so much. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHomemade onies! OMG! We can only imagine how yummy it is!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
I was wondering about the Dixie cups also.

What great memories!! Love the "squeaky toy" comment. that's what my dog thinks of my two yr old in his Halloween costume this year too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing this week ♥
What wonderful memories! I love the squeaky toy costume too. My grandmother didn't have the old board or the pasta machine.... She taught us how to make the dough and slice them with a knife..... Penn. Dutch noodles are nothing like your Italian pasta....
ReplyDeleteFeeling a bit ethnically jealous...

Love the serenading! The little skunk is very cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little pony.

ReplyDeleteLoved it!
Being a dog person/animal lover - I love what you do for dogs.

It would be dangerous for a bebe child to come dressed as a squeakie to my house! heehee
ReplyDeleteI love when my boys break into song!
ReplyDeleteMagical times bring smiles. And warm fuzzy feelings.
ReplyDeleteGotta go hug my hounds.
