requiem aeternam,

To our Dear Friends

We are having some busy times at our house, and it is interfering with our blogging.

Since we came back from our trip to St. Loulis and Mayemphis, both Aunt Marie and our Grandpa have gone to the hospital.

Aunt Marie is doing better, still in the Health Center where she lives, but we hope that her cracked pelvis heals quickly and she is ready for another visit from us by Christmas time.

Our Grandpa is not so good. His surgery went well, but he is still in the hospital after two weeks, and just this morning, our dad flew to Azrizona to see him.

We ask that you remember both Aunt Marie and Grandpa in your prayers, and hold all of us close to your hearts.

On a much lighter note, we have heard that our Sissie E.Beth is coming to visit us this week, to help keep the muzzer in line and on track. She is lots of fun.

All this is a most involved way of telling you that we are doing our best to keep up with reading and comments, but we don't have much heart for blogging. We hope you understand. We love you all.

kisses

Happy Bastille Day y'all

To All of our francophile friends

Today, I am surprising Miss Asta with a

short trip to Paris.

Where we will have a baguette or two

Some most tasty French Sausages

mmmmagnifique

And some cheese and wine.

We hope everyone else has a good

time too. But keep your hands

off of our sausage.

Some Notes on our vacation

We seemed to spend a lot of time

Playing Muzzer's Silly Game

"Oh look there is a Wirey Guy

doing roaches in the sky"

"And over there, five puppies"

Though I never found a one.

I cannot think why she keeps looking

For Wireys in the sky.

When on her lap

She has right here

A Pawfect

Wirey

Guy!

kisses from me and Teka,

We are sooooooooooooo

glad to be home!

Aloha Honoroooorooooo!

Aloha my friends

Miss Asta and I will be leaving shortly

to return to the mainland.

We want to spend time with Asta's Mommi

and Daddi on the fourth of July,

and I want to catch up with

Muzzer and Dad before they

leave St. Loulis for Mayemphis.

We have had a wonderful time, and

want to thank all of those who organized this

and Asta's most talented Mommi for the

wonderful pictures.

Aloha, like Shalom, has many meanings.

I hope it means that we can return to

this beautiful spot some day soon.

The Moon and you......

(any of these can be bigified by clicking on

them, but Blogger is not cooperating with me tonight!)

Asta and I are part of the welcome committee!

This is wonderful, because we can greet our friends as they

arrive. Asta has been kissing each guest and giving them a lei from

around her neck. I hope we don't run out!

Isn't she marvelous?

There is NO DANCE this

wonderful girl cannot master.

I'm thinking that a few of these

have helped her relax.

I'm also hoping that they make

my ukulele playing sound better to

the crowd. I've been hearing

murmurs that I may be furry

but I am no Elvis!

Aloha my friends, join the party

tomorrow for more fun. Right

now I am enjoying the company, the sunset

and our wonderful friends.

I would like to thank Asta's Mommi

who offered to let us use these

photos she had prepared. Please stop by

Asta's blog and tell her

what a wonderful job she did.

Affirmation is a wonderful thing.

Honorooroo

Click here to Join in the fun

at the Honorooroo Pawty!

Me and Miss Asta are there.

Our Mommi and Muzzer are

busy this weekend, so we

took Miss Asta's plane and

zipped over.

The Music is fine and the

mai-tais are flowing like wine.

We'll all be posting pictures

and news from there, but you

should just join us!

See Ya there!
