LOOKING FOR FUN AND FEELING GROOVY!!THIS IS WHAT WE DO FOR FUN AT RIDGEHAVEN!!
Well, we celebrated the New Year and are procrastinating taking down our Christmas decorations, and I can't get interested in reading today, so I thought I'd catch you up--briefly--on what the past few days have been like.
Katy Parker, fellow retiree, I'm thinking of you. I'm still in my PJs at 3:30, and although I HAVE showered in the past two days, I have NOT styled my hair. I'm looking good, let me tell you!! So, to keep from having to see my wild, unstyled hair, this is my solution. You can see that the new and improved look is definitely better than before, right? You CAN see that, right?
My other form of entertainment has been taking shots at squirrels at my birdfeeder with my new Daisy Red Rider BB gun. (I haven't shot my eye out either). I don't want to hurt the squirrels (yet), but they are piggies and don't know when to stop eating. As a result, my birdies are sitting around patiently (and hungrily) on the nearby tree limbs, hoping desperately that the piggy squirrels will stop chowing down on all the sunflower seeds. Now I DID put out some ears of corn up AND some sunflower seeds of their own for the squirrels to eat, but their little squirrel brains have generations of programming telling them that THIS feeder at THIS site is FREE FOOD for the taking. They can be trained evidently, however, since they are getting good at discovering me as I creep out the door and position myself to shoot their little squirrel behinds. (Don't worry, squirrel lovers, I'm not that good a shot and generally just scare them away.)
Here I am today in one of my strategic positions. Note the hunter stance. Note the lack of a coonskin cap and thus a reliable substitute. Note the lime green t-shirt and the plaid PJs. Note the pink socks. Am I a vision of loveliness or what????
I have been practicing with a soup can set up about thirty yards away, and I'm getting better and better, so look out squirrels!! My brother Glenn would be proud of me, since he taught me to shoot a BB gun low these MANY decades ago. ( I also have incriminating evidence of Carol shooting at the can too, but since she is the primary cook at this residence, I refrain from including it here.)
So...as my teacher friends post on FB about how horrible the in-service meeting was today, these are THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF DONNA PARKER!!!
