This is a baby racoon.

Abby ran away… again
Abby ran away.. again. She bolted right past grandpa, to her favorite spot in the backyard… and she kept going. You would think by now, she would have slowed down at least a little bit so she wouldn’t get yanked backwards as she reached the end of the rope (normally)… so I am thinking that whole “short rope elephant” story does not apply to dogs. This is what she looked like after Grandpa caught up to her. Ummmmmm, don’t share this one with Auntie Sam.

This dog is crazy… wait to see what she does after getting washed off.

Scarlett completes the Rocking Chair Project… and gives a little tour of her office. The Rocking Chair looks great and feels really clean and smooth.
I also wrote out a Happy Mother’s Day card for my first time. I made one for Gammy. Grandpa helped me with the spelling.

The Rocking Chair was dried out and probably dirty.
So, my Grandpa showed me how to clean it with some warm water and Murphy’s Oil Soap.

Today, Grandpa bought a Rocking Chair from a local person. The chair is really cool… but it was dried wood and not looking so good. Gammy was not so thrilled, as usual.
But let’s see … I think Rocking Chairs are cool.
As some day, I think I will be using this to rock my baby stuffed teddy bear or maybe even a real baby some day.

Scarlett discovers Christopher Columbus relic and history
“Scarlett discovers Christopher Columbus relic and history. Watch as the American history lesson unfolds as a six year old. Understanding the real Christopher Columbus story might be the reason why she drops a grade in that history class.” posted by Grandpa.

Later in the day we went out to dinner to celebrate Uncle Vincent’s Birthday. We ate outside on the upper deck at Johnny D’s in Flagler beach. We told scary stories and then watched the full moon rise over the ocean.
Uncle Vincent bought a “new” car… a 2014 Mini Cooper… manual, cool blue color. No more 2004 Honda Element… although that car/suv served him well… took him back and forth to Stetson University lots of times and then back and forth to Madison Wisconsin.
XO, as usual.
