AN ACRE OF CHAOS aka Gramma ZZ’s mind

I grabbed from her site and brought over here…(thanx mommy)…

She tried on her halloween outfit.

What a cutie you are Holly!! 

We had a couple short snoozes on the bed today.

He was 3 months old today.

 

and fountains. That windmill is also on the property as far as I can tell.
 

plants, that is their greenhouse back there. Lots of blooms in there.

I felt like a burglar sneaking around and taking pics through fences. 

To take a shot of something that interests me.

I had to use the close up for this shot.

I love this house. It is in Shell Beach and takes up at least a block long, along the oceanfront. 

Who was driving and who was snapping pics…

I think NOT…. 

type of places we like to eat at…!

But seriously. We love to come here. They have a band that plays Sunday afternoons. We get our long islands, talk to the locals and play with “bear dog”. Bear dog is a very very old dog, you can see her under the picnic table. She can barely stand and prefers you to walk over to her if you want to pet her. But, if you insist, she will get up on all fours and come to you for her strokes.
This couple was all dressed up as they sat with their glass of Merlot overlooking the mountain side.
Now Buckhorn Lodge is really great. We talked to the woman who owns it and she also sings with the band. She use to be the opening act at the Tropicana years ago.

She said for $100 we can each have a steak dinner, a night in her motel AND she will even take us out to breakfast the next morning. I hardly think we look like we are waiting for the motel offer…hahaha. On second thought, she probably meant we could drink and not have to drive down the mountain… But heck, the fun part of the whole day is drinking those long islands and then driving down the mountain…That is always the highlight…!!! And as usual…

I’m not serious. 

to help me with my DVD player. Is that okay daddy???

Mike is so old school. He doesn’t think that a parent may mind if he starts talking to their kid.

I travel with a lawyer in my back pocket..haha..
 

Click this!!

(Many thanks to the little boy sitting on the patio at the Buckhorn Lodge last Sunday afternoon. He provided quite a photo op)… 

peaceful night was suddenly interrupted.

Then I woke up and realized….

Wow…There is no munchkin jumping on my waterbed causing huge waves… I can actually meditate and quietly slip into sleep. But instead I got on my laptop until late into the night.
 

Missing the mommy huh?

You little wuss…Now you know how I feel about my mommy who disappeared the other day…Did you feel any regret at all…

No compassion here for you buddy…. boo hoo…Must be lonely in that big bedroom of yours. 

She has only been home a few days this month. I’ve also had it with that Dusty broad…she thinks I should at least take a taste of my food, even when it doesn’t appeal to me. What’s it to her anyway, all she has to do is bend a little and drop a new flavor into the bowl. She certainly has to be flexible to deal with these damn babies all day long, so why is she so hard nose with me.
So here’s the game plan. I figure if I can cause an itsy bitsy little electric shock on myself with these wires maybe the “new”
Granny will get her butt back home and in my bedroom where she belongs. I only want to burn a small patch of fur, just enough to “look” serious.

Okay here goes. One chomp ought to do it. Just one little chomp….

Well..now I shouldn’t be too hasty…I could just eat some bad cat food and get a case of food poisoning…that should be easy in this house…

aaarrrrggg….I hate being ignored around here.

Mommmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee….there’s a wash cloth waiting on the counter for you…hurry…and by the way, expect an attack the minute you get home and try to love me…
