Quess What!

joplin...."Do you notice the frown on my face?"

joplin...."The biped has one too."



joplin...."Do you notice that I'm wearing a coat?"

joplin....."The biped has one too."

joplin...."Wanna take a quess at what went snap, crackle, pop and smelt really bad about 4 am?"

We have heat.....

biped...."for now. How long it will last is a mystery. It took three visits by the repairman plus he spent saturday and sunday at home drawing diagrams of the heater. He even drew diagrams while he was fishing on Saturday. Following is Joplin's interpretation of the Heater Whisperer who laid on our floor for hours talking quietly to the heater."

Joplin...."The man was a contortionist. He was real nice but kinda dumb. He laid on the floor right in the way of our food dishes. At first Grandma said, "Don't bother the nice man. He's fixing our heater. Then after a while she said why don't you get in there and help him."



joplin...."This is what grandma looked like after his third visit."



joplin....."This is what the poor man looked like after his last visit."

Thankful Thursday....

Joplin....."Look at my new bed! I used to have to sleep in a crummy basket and now I get to sleep in a huge bed."



joplin...."I think I'm going to invite my new friends to spend the night.



Joplin...."Boy they sure were quick taking me up on my offer."

All Hissy in da Ozarks

major...."I am no longer the baby. Life will never be the same."



annie....."What in the world is that?"



major...."I wonder what will happen if I wap it?"



smudge...."Don't think that you can distract me with a fake bug. There's a real intruder in our house."

Ozark Bun Warmer

smudge...."I bet you quessed that Uncle didn't fix the heater. He only had time to fix one thing so he worked on the leaking tubs. He had to take the faucet off grandma'ss and there was a little slit in the tub where the water could leak. A little sealant handled that problem. Since we had it all apart we bought grandma a new faucet. Well I guess I'll get back to the bun warmer. Oh quess who moved in for the winter. Yep baby Joplin is making himself at home in the biped's bed. It may get kinda ugly about midnight when Annie comes to claim her spot in the bed."

smudge...."Oh yes, we'll be careful not to burn our bums. The little heater swishes back and forth so we don't get too close."

Surprize visitor

ollie....."Handy Uncle surprized us wif a visit. Please say lots of purrz for him dat da biped doesn't work him to death fixing all da broken things around da place. If we're lucky he'll be able to fix the deaded heater."



smudge...."I'd give him a whole pack of Temptations if he fixed it. Dat is if'n I actually had a pack."

Don't you wish you were an Ozark Mtn Cat?

annie....."It's good to be me."



annie...."There that should do it."



annie...."No way will the biped take it away from me now."



annie...."I gots cats slobber all over it." "Don't worry peeps. It's a good sucker. It's orange cream."
