My favorite year.
I hear fish calling:
"Nyah-nyah, ya can't catch me!"
Later, guys 'n' girls...
As the Old Toole said in that memorable flick:

Whew!
So glad the BOX arrived.
Was that mouse in the Fruitcake?
And you wonder why I provided fruitcake armor? With mice running around in the same container? LOL
Neebs, I love the Foiled pun, just lovely. :)
Congratulations, Neebs! You did it!
Sorry about all the heavy metal.
No, not really. :) The whole project was super fun. That fruitcake is from Texas, where I have cousins in the business. :) They have lots of pecan trees. I am glad you like the fruitcake, and I have had a great deal of fun and entertainment, agony, expectancy, anticipation, frustration, and a few cruel words about the poor Post Office people who get it right more than most countries' postal service, and who are also more honest, which counts for a lot. They even included a letter of apology, which is really something you never see in most places. Probably in Canada, and a kinder, more polite letter, if possible.
Hurray! Happy New Year!
Another reason to celebrate! Great Job, neebee! You have amazing coordination skills for projects. A born artist and organizer. Thank you for all the fun and entertainment, and for letting me be a part of this project where I had
Entirely Too Much Fun.
Laughing Robustly,

I cant' tell where to start, but I'll get there.
I may be coming down with something.Stupidity. I never should have let Amy untie and try to climb the gully on her own.
We lived and learned, and we didn't get burned on the Yo Falls trail far below.
So I lived and returned to find the box of booty.

Great to see all the goodies arriving and getting opened! Behind the scenes the shipping got a bit "interesting" but Neebee came up with a solution, somehow. Magic!

P.S. Mouse: no worries on the headlamp... I'm pleased it's getting used in fun environs! Take your time.
Open books... yeah, might know about them a tad! You'll be pleased to know I'm continuing with my Camalot divestment program. Just yesterday, I planted another easter egg as a post Xmas treat for some unsuspecting soul. Ha ha!

Ah, Fletcher! Good to hear your figurative voice--sorry to hear of the success of your program.
I, on the other hand, following the semi-debacle on Sunnyside, went to Degnan's and scarfed that sandwich (no cheese) on the table, got it home, and found it was vegetarian. Well, I put the cheddar to gooda use there.
This wheel of Gouda is the perfect midnight snack, the perfect late night dinner in front of the tube.

hey there say, mouse... wow, the day-trip again, very nice!!
and susets, of course...
say, and MICE everywhere!!! it MUST be due to the cheese, ;)
also, fletcher!!
he PICKED out that mouse panal, for his gift, that he picked
from our list...
and:
i LEARNED the history behind it:
fletcher HELPED an artist, at 'etsy' somewhere, when he found this
panal and ordered it from there... as it was
a SPECIAL made panal--it came with instructions...
i did what they said:
ironed it... washed it... and then re'ironed it to dry it...
SO it is supposed to be washable,
HOWEVER:
NO HOT WATER... OR HARSH DETERGENT...
IN OTHER WORDS:
TELL the mice to eat at the table... or--at the platter,
as the case may be...
ps:
awwww'drey, has a seperate package that was late for the box, to
go with THE NUMBER SEVEN... she may? have mailed it, not sure...
:)
happy 'mouse about the house' night...
ps:
my mom has not called, so i will be so 'nosey' (even though if may not be cozy) to CALL her tomorrow... i just need to know, mom, i will say... :(
happy good eve!

So that's not a quilt, it's a panel, like in a triptych.
Now there is a word never heard with this herd.

for neebee
"Hold On"
Bless my heart, bless my soul.
Didn't think I'd make it to 22 years old.
There must be someone up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up.
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."
So, bless my heart and bless yours too.
I don't know where I'm gonna go
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
There must be somebody up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on now!
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."
"Yeah! You got to wait!
Yeah! You got to wait!"
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait...
So, bless my heart and bless my mind.
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above saying,
"Come on, girl! Yeah, you got to get back up!
You got to hold on...
Yeah, you got to hold on..."
"Yeah! You got to wait!"
I don't wanna wait!
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait!
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...

Thank you Audrey and THE Muppet.
edit for Odd: Play that video for THE Muppet. See her rock. Take pictures and post when you can. My little rocker went gaga for Eddie Murphy and Delerious, but won't cop to it as a big girl now. I'm hoping to see you both whenever. Happy New Year, Dolt Kits.

hey there say, mouse... oops, okay, let me try again...
the mouse panals, five... all discussed being ON the quilt...
the quilt is NOW REALLY a quilt, and ONE without guilt, if:
it is not washed to the hilt...
;)
oh no, THAT won't work:
as, if you hilt it up to the light, you'd see it has NO HILT
to be washed to...
SAY, 'i've washed tooooo many quilts take second fiddle to
blankets, when it comes to a good wash...
however, as to a good WASH, one really needs a sleepingbag,
they can handle the rugged terrain far better...
however, far better, or far worse... there is NOTHING like a quilt...
well, except for ol' bobby bob the CAT!
AS, THAT was the guilty quilty that nearly DID him in...
but inDID, did god reach in, and safe him!!!
wow... :O
note:
hope your 'Dcider'ing code is up to par, tonight,
so that you may par'up these words into something that makes
sense...
since, bobby-bob had none, in his non-sense, thus warning us, we NEED some...

You talkin' to me?
You make the quilt. You make the quilt. You make the quilt.
I heard some things. Bobby Bob almost became an echo. Bobby Bob, you listen' to me? Perfect. You talkin' to me or you talkin' to neebee? That's a good kitty. Hello, kitty. You talked to her recently? Really. Those mice! Nice talkin'. Your move. You make the move.
I heard some things. Max, I heard some things. You talkin' to me, Max? Ron, I heard some good things. Martha said hi. She'll look you up. (I want to hear everything. All the good things.) You don't have to worry. She'll make the move. She'll be walkin' around the mountains when she comes. I heard all kinds of things. She'll make the move.
I heard some T Hocking things...Something...oh, yeah...Tad hung his stocking with a slip knot and it slipped. I heard some things that slipped my mind. Punchy? I heard some bells. Ding. Bong. Ding. I heard you say that. I heard some things.
Gene, I heard some things. You were talking to me. I heard we're good to go. You talked to Cosmic. I heard some things.
Echo Summit. Echo Lake. I heard some things. Strawberry's still red. Love before you leap. You make the move. You make the move. The dikes await. Go left, then up, then left, then up, go right, then up...I heard some things. Dikes love to gossip. Belay that. Dikes love to go left, then up, then right, then up, then left, then up, and one-two-three we're waltzing. I got the beat. You got the beat? You make the move, you're leading. I follow, I'm not leading. You make the move. It's your move. 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8...I'm up. Standin' 8! I'm here. You make the move.
I'm the only one here. I'm not there. I'm right here. You lookin' at me?
[Click to View YouTube Video]You walkin' my way, Liz?
Hello, that music...you're near here, leading me on. Just what you want to do. Hopeless. I'm following you. I get it. The Alone Wonderland is kiddie land. Kitty land. Land of litter-bearers. Little kits, are you listening, never knowing a right from a left, look at me.
I'll give you a quarter, for the movies, yeah. Leave me alone with your big sister Liz, who takes care of you when mom's at work. That's a dollar in quarters. Go. No candy, you fatties!

"Here's lookin' at you, Bobby Bob & Weave, Patty-Ann and all."
And very, very thank you all.
I've been all over town, lookin' around. Makin' a crazy-quilt pattern like a punch-drunk boxer.
Here's some looks for you mice and men. Unique in all the county.

I am taking full advantage of having wheels on fire to truck me around to look at stuff. Two more days and it's going to dawn on me that it's gone to Dawn and Vern.
Meh.
It's almost history.
I'm still here.That, I get.Is he a goer? Wink, nudge...You shine, Fletcher.Are these empties on the verge of the highway of promises?
My annual visit to the Barnes & Noble, see. I was lookin' for Chrissie.
Never on Sundays, but I sort of thought that. She used to work with me at B. Dalton Bookseller on the mall. She used to work at the Regency Cinema at the mall. She used to work three jobs to support herself and her mother. Bodacious lady, good friend, go-getter, well-read and well-informed, what's not to like? Happy New Year, Chrissie, wherever you are working today!

They did not get burned out in the Rim fire. They need donations badly, however. Please, donate. Thank you from the MDA chapter in Merced.These may look chossy, but they are solid. Mice five ten abounds. Nothing harder. Yet.
Tough to access when the creek is filled. This is the lowest it's been.
But first, let me change my pants.
