it's me...mo's gorgeous cousin jo! mo really did finally attempt to blog every day last week but seems the blog gods continued workin' double time to keep her from doin' so. i kept tellin her just to take care o all the things that were bein' thrown in her way and let me get this thing goin' again but bein eternally optOmistic, she kept thinkin' she could be the one to calm the masses down and bog this here blog down with all the bits and bobs she's tried to jot down durin her extended and much unintended absence. but since me and mimi (our other cousin who parked her very own travelin tin tent next to mine in mo's backyard under cover o darkness back in august) are headin off for a week or so up the pacific coast - our last chance to travel before tube top season is officially over here in sunny california - i thought i'd just ignore the mayor and get those ugly snakes off myself. once we got a plea from missy robin, i knew the time to take action was now.... she's had her hands full with a bad case o bees on a dog and i think when a woman with a sick dog starts beggin for action it can't be put off another day!
so....here are some new words to read and somethin' new for you to look at! thought i'd pop up some newspaper clippin's o mo's front yard in the newspaper. her old house is already sort'a famous - there's been many o day i have arrived home to find a bus o people from other lands on the sidewalk , snappin pictures of each other with mo's house in the background. but ever since mini's daddy bought these ducks for mo and then startin rearrangin em every day and mini took to dressin em up for special occasions, the traffic has increased double-fold. mimi and i even heard some prissy women discussin the mo ducks in the grocery store one day.
too bad the picture from halloween wasn't taken a few days earlier. mo also had an army o broom totin scarecrows prancin' down the lawn. but the saturday night before, mimi thought she heard someone shootin' a gun...so mo called the police department. within minutes that noisy police helicopter was overhead and mo's front yard was flooded with light......it just hovered there and pretty soon a slew o police cars pulled up and the guys n blue jumped out with their guns pulled (we were watchin' all this from mini's bedroom window). we had just about succeeded in gettin mini's daddy to move outta the on all the time television room to go out and see what was happenin when all the action came to a halt and one o those handsome fellas came to the door. seems when the helicopter arrived over head, looked from their point o view like mo's house was bein invaded by a bunch o scraggly men with rifles (guess brooms look sorta like rifles from the sky). we apologized but they said it was the most excitement they had had in a while. never did find out if anyone actually shot off a gun. the next day mimi and i drug all the scarecrows on back to the parked trailer area so that's why you only see the ghost ducks in the shot for the paper.
hope you have enjoyed havin those snakes gone....mo sure is lucky that ya'll haven't given up on her durin her boggin hiatus. she'll be back this week to blog away - and when she can't make it, you can count on me....mimi and i'll be checkin in from the road! we're takin some o the scarecrows with us for protection.
