Since the weather has been cooling off, and just before we are all gearing up for Thanksgiving, I thought we should visit Dusty. These two  pictures  are rare.  Bunnies never slow down long enough to get a good picture of them.

My daughter, and I have been trying to figure out what to get Sage, my granddaughter for Christmas. You would think it would be easy with all the girley stuff, be not this year!
After I received the emails with the pictures,  we were discussing how cute they were, and my daughter  came up with the idea to haveone of these pictures made into a puzzle. Sage will love that since, Dusty is her bunny.

So I ask my readers which picture do you think is better for a puzzle?  Top Picture, or bottom?

Dusty is growing big and strong, but out where he lives, it gets a little too cold to spend day, and night outside, so he gets to come in the house with Bubbles.  I’m sure only in California do we bring our animals into our homes to give them shelter, but yep they do come in during bad weather!  And they both use the litter box diligently.  Neither of them have ever had any accidents.

Dusty spends his days hippity hopping around his large green yard, chasing Bubbles now and then, and on a good day is allowed in the house at night.  All is well in the bunny world, and they are both growing, and growing getting bigger, and bigger.  Soon they will be the size of Harvey the Rabbit from the 1950’s movie “Harvey,” with James Stewart.

Thank you for taking time to hop by and see whats going on with Dusty, see you next time……

Strange Midnight Movies

When I was a teenager, every once in a while Mom, and I would find ourselves not able to sleep.  I would walk out of my bedroom at maybe 12:00 am to find Mom sitting in front of the TV watching some strange, off the wall movie. Usually they would be foreign films, the ones  that we could barely understand!   I’d sit down with her, and before you knew it we’d both be deep into this strange movie.  These were movies no one had ever heard of, and it was easy to tell why.  They were so quirky, and odd that we were transfixed, and couldn’t shut  off the TV until it was over.  This was sometimes 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning.  Most likely this was either a weekend event, or happened during the summer, because I don’t ever remember having to go to school the next day.

A couple of weeks ago, the weather being  hot, stuffy, quite humid, and not particularly a day that I was able to get motivated to do much work.  I turned on Netflix to see what I could find to occupy a couple of hours, maybe getting through the humidity the easy way.  What I found was another of the same kind of movies Mom and I use to watch together many years ago!  Admittedly, the picture caught my attention, and that’s exactly why I persevered.

I had a deja vu moment!

This movie was so different in a kind of fun way, and I couldn’t stop watching it. The audio was poor, and  the accents made it difficult  also.  But I had to keep watching anyway!  All I could think of was how much fun Mom, and I had watching these midnight movies, that were much like this one!

The story was simple…..how the characters lived, and enter acted was simple, and it was the perfect solution to a hot, and humid day that wasn’t good for much else but an interesting movie!  Maybe the simple lifestyle pulled me in, or the cute way the characters talked to each other, but I was fascinated.

Good memories are the most fun, and maybe when we get older, the memories are what sustain us.  I didn’t think I was old enough to sit and rely on my memories, but maybe I’m wrong.  Maybe it doesn’t matter what age a person is, if it bring them joy to remember the good….bring those memories on!

What do you think?  Does it make you feel good to remember good memories, or do you think there isn’t time for it now?
