Good One

Last week, she checked into a motel on her 65th birthday and she was a bit lonely. She thought, "I'll call one of those men you see advertised in phone books for escorts and sensual massages."

She looked through the phone book, found a full page ad for a guy calling himself Tender Tony - a very handsome man with assorted physical skills flexing in the photo. He had all the right muscles in all the right places, thick wavy hair, long powerful legs, dazzling smile, six pack abs and she felt quite certain she could bounce a silver dollar off his well oiled bum....

She figured, what the heck, nobody will ever know. I'll give him a call.

"Good evening, ma'am, how may I help you? . . Oh my, he sounded sooo sexy!

Afraid she would lose her nerve if she hesitated, she rushed right in, "Hi, I hear you give a great massage. I'd like you to come to my motel room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hot, and I want it now. Bring implements, toys, rubber, leather, whips, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night - tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything and everything, I'm ready!! Now how does that sound?"

He said, "That sounds absolutely fantastic, but you need to press 9 for an outside line."

Recordable Book

The Night Before Christmas:
Gramma Sue gave Jack this book last year and he was a little too young too appreciate it, but he certainly does now. We have listened to it many times tonight. He loves it!

It is a great gift and a great idea. Unfortunately we don't get to see Gramma Sue that often.

Mr McGee and the Big Bag of Bread

At lunchtime yesterday and today, just before Jack's nap, he told ME a bedtime story of Mr McGee and how the crocodile ate Mr McGree's bed, leaving him to sleep in his tree (with his cat in his lap).

On October 30th we had a forecast of 5"-12" of snow and many people were scurrying around getting prepared for the Nor' Easter. Even though we only got just a little more than 2" it was perfect snowman building snow. So we had to build one and Jack loved it. However the next few days were warm and Jack learned all about the word "melting".

Writing on the box

Jack came to me this morning with a mini box of Milk Duds. He was shaking them and telling me he found some chocolate. He said there was writing on the box and I asked "Do you know what it says?" and he replied

"Do not feed the animals"

* That is from "Mr McGee and his Big Bag of Bread" - Thank you Lizzie and Michael for the that wonderful story book!

Pony Rides At The Birthday Party

Pilar's and Petra's 5th Birthday Party was on Saturday and it was wonderful.

Jack had not one, not two, but three pony rides and I took so many photos you will have to see them here.


He's "a natural" on a pony too.

Teleri Visited

Teleri and her Mum visited family for a reunion in the Catskills (1.5 hours south of us) and Teleri was able to take the train North to visit us for 24 hours.

I was able to take the day off and we wanted to make the most of our time together so rather than Teleri taking the train back, I decided to drive her back and Mum was able to join us. It was so much fun. We were able to visit Olana and visit some high end shops in Hudson.

Teleri's beautiful aunt (top photo, far right) is a talented artist.

The best thing was we got to meet Teleri's 2 aunts and her uncle. It was very special.

In the last photo: Pictured here is Mrs Jones and Ms Teleri Jones (with a Victoria Secret item).

I have more to say and more photos to add...

Thomas the Tank Engine

Giggling Ruby

Patrick and Annabel's new addition Ruby. Born in April. She is an absolute cutie.

Rob & Louie's Horse Farm

Jack and I felt like we had died and gone to heaven when we visited Rob and Louie's horse farm. Rob took Jack for a ride on his tractor.

Mini Fair

Fort Hardy Park had a mini fair last weekend and we visited it on Sunday. This was Jack's first ride and the centrifugal force was so strong I was concerned for a short while. But Jack enjoyed it so much he wanted to try out each and every ride. He was "hooked". The love of speed does run in the family! (Dad, Alastair, Patrick, Campbell, Roxy and I are "boy racers").

Jennifer's Wedding

Jennifer and Jeremy got married at the Rochester Museum and Science Center last Saturday. The ceremony was in the rose garden followed by cocktails on the first floor and the reception on the mezzanine floor. It was spectacular and Jack and Lily and Gaby (baby pictured) could not believe the variety of tactile exhibits. There were so many buttons to push, levers to lift, sliding doors, etc, that Jack kept saying "I like weddings".

We visited Brockport again

We visited Brockport 2 weeks ago for Dick's niece's wedding (more photos of that to follow). The day before the wedding Jack got to hang out with Dick's nephew's daughter Lily. Lily was a flower girl at the wedding and she is beautiful.

The week before we visited a local dairy farm where Jack became fascinated with barns and the tall, circular silos so when he saw the barn bird feeder - he had to get a closer look.
