Today we had a Coos Bay Hittys family reunion so that everyone could meet Hitty Hitomi (she's the pretty one in the black Kimono) who is the newest family member. As you can see we have a couple of Hittys living at our house...I'm pretty sure there's a couple missing even.
On my way home from the reunion I met a baby Easter Bunny! He was hanging out waiting for Spring & April...whichever comes first. I like how he incorporates flowers into everything, including his nose!
My friends and I are celebrating St. Patrick's Day. So from Hitty Colleen, Bitty Hitty Mab, Hitty Maureen O'Hara & myself-Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Tonight is the annual fund raiser at Riley's school called Family Fun Night-it was circus themed this year. Riley played games, had her hair done, and ate enough suger to last her the rest of the year. We also won back the birdhouse we made for the auction.
We got another wonderful HittyGirls PIF too! Meet Bitty Hickory. She's all dressed for St Patrick's day and is just the cutest thing. I wanted to play with her, but Miss Hickory isn't ready to let go of her yet.
Michelle's been working hard on getting some full size Blankie Bears done. She wants to donate them to DHS to be given to foster kids when they are going into a foster home. The 2nd bear from the left is made from scraps of yarn from other bears, but I think it turned out cute & colorful. Michelle hates to let anything go to waste. She's also working on getting the pattern to make the bears that are sent to children in Africa who are AIDS victims. She would like to make several bears for this cause also.
So I was taking a walk & passed Michelle's purse and saw an empty safety bubble. Oh no! The Evil Purse Monkey has escaped!
I checked the purse to see if maybe, just maybe, he was in there somewhere. But, he wasn't. He must be found & contained before he finds others of his kind & organizes! We've seen pictures of what can happen when this occurs & frankly it scares the fur right off me!
I checked at my house. Sadie Sue, Little Red, Pink, and Artichoke haven't seen the Evil Purse Monkey at all. Looks like it's time for a road trip.
My faithful llama, Artichoke, will accompany me on my quest for the Evil Purse Monkey. It concerns us that he has apparently escaped to the great outdoors. Who knows what havoc will ensue.
I see him! He's caught in the brush on this sheer vertical wall. Poor thing can't get himself loose. I'll have to scale down to rescue him. There's no time to go back for my repelling equipment, I'll just have use the brush that has trapped him to climb down.
Hang on little guy I've got you. Just try to swing over a little & I'll do the same.
Rescue complete we ride back home. Original Evil Purse Monkey (as he likes to be called) is exhausted & just wants to go home after his ordeal.
Time for a quick cuddle before he has to go back to the safety bubble.
HittyGirls do these things called PIFs (Pay It Forward). They send out small gifts in the mail to people who belong to the group. Here are some of the wonderful gifts our Hittys have received. The St Patricks Day apron (worn by Hitty Maureen O'Hara) is from Pauline N., the green shopping bag from Denise H, the wonderful calendar & pictures from Sylvia Y, the jacket & bonnet that Hitty Daisy is wearing from Annie H, and the black & white checked apron from Ann S(worn by Hitty Colleen). We have enjoyed each & every PIF & some have come at times when a pick me up was definately needed by Michelle. She in turn has sent out PIF's sometimes with the same result.
And more good news! The sun is out & Spring is coming! Look the tulips are getting ready to put out blooms, they're down there I looked!
We don't know what this bush is called, but I love the pretty little lacey white blooms. They only last for a little while right at the start of spring & then they're gone.
Look, this azalea is always among the first to bloom!
The apple tree is getting ready to have blooms too! Look buds !!
We had a typical Saturday:
