((HOGS AND KISSES)) it’s a wonderful and joyous day!
I love Easter. I love everything about it. I love the fun. I love the excitement. I love the actual meaning of Easter. I love it all!
Mom makes is so special for all of us. Mom gave the purr things their little basket. She was going to take a picture of it but too late – they got to it. There was little pieces of grass everywhere from their straw basket. They got cat treats, a bag of Iams – their favorite and a couple of play mice. They were happy – more so for the basket and grass at first – snorts. Silly purr things.
Dad loves his Angry Birds games so this year mom tried to decorate the eggs in their colors. Didn’t turn out as good as last year but dad absolutely loved them. Me, of course I favored the piggy one. What more I favored was what was inside of the egg. Snorts – I do love my food.
And me? You asked what did the Easter Bunny bring me? ALL kinds of goodies.
I got a yearly pot full of my special treats! I noticed last week that my big bucket was MIA (missing in action) here at the Hotel Thompson. That Easter Bunny is sneaky. He must have come in last week and took my bucket to fill up with all of these goodies.
Look in that bucket –
Animal crackers – yes the convenient size – snort.
Yellow squash and eggplant. I love it chopped up and raw.
Carrots – look at the size of those master pieces!
Oranges and apples.
And my training raisins were in the bottom of the bucket. I only get raisins when mom is teaching me new tricks. I guess she’s up to training again.
YUMMY – this pig struck the gold mine! I think personally the Easter Bunny likes me the best, don’t you? But I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.
And we can’t forget about rock clan. The Easter Bunny brought the rock clan what else but Rock Candy!
Everyone is having a blast on this special day. I hope you and yours also have a spectacular Easter my friends!
HOGS AND KISSES – it’s a wonderful and joyous day!

Mom makes is so special for all of us. She fixes us all baskets just for us – squeals! She leaves them out the night before and we each get to come into the room to find our basket.
The purr things got their usual of cat treats, a bag of Iams – their favorite and a couple of play mice. They were happy – more so for the basket then what was in it – snorts. Silly purr things. They are so weird playing with their basket before finding their stuff inside. Shakes piggy head.
Houdini got a little basket full of dog treats – he loves them – and some little toys shaped like Angry Birds. Snorts – I think dad is going to confiscate them. Houdini tries to help daddy play his game and loves the swooshing sound of the birds.
The rock clan – we can’t forget them now can we – they got a basket with Rock Candy 🙂 Benedict, Manny, Virginia, Princess Coralena, Rockelle, Bashful and some others 🙂 you haven’t heard about … yet. Coming soon don’t worry my friends. Mom’s hands are just a tad bit full right now. Don’t give up on her.
And Dad loves his Angry Birds games so this year mom had him a cake made with Angry Birds on it – sweet! It is fabulous and gorgeous! I would share a pic but once mom sliced it, it looked like that red bird bled out – snorts.

And we can’t forget about rock clan – Benedict, Manny, Virginia, Princess Coralena and Rockelle. Bashful is with his host family so I’m sure he won’t get left out. But here at the Hotel Thompson, the Easter Bunny brought the rock clan what else but Rock Candy!
Everyone is having a blast on this special day. I hope you and yours also have a spectacular Easter my friends!
Benedict and Rockelle weren’t the only one having a fabulous Valentine’s Day. I assure you of that. Valentine’s Day was also the day that mom and dad got engaged. Yep, engaged after 16 years of dating. In fact when dad popped the question, why would you expect yes or no. Nope, not from my mom. She said, “What’s the rush?” Silly mommy!
So daddy did good. He got mommy a new sock monkey for her Smart car Albert. This one is going to be called Sock of Love. Cute huh? He fits right in with the other sock monkeys in Albert.
Daddy is also got mom this “small’ box of chocolates. Snorts – I like how daddy thinks “small”, don’t you? I mean take a closer look at the picture with the comparison of mom’s hand and the candy box.
.
Oh, and I forgot to post this picture of Rockelle and Bashful this morning. This is a wipe they got after eating at Hooter’s. Kind of appropriate huh? Snorts.
You voted for it and the two winners were Benedict and Rockelle for their hot date on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2014. The day started off with a lot of primping, planning and excitement. Manny and Bashful helped Benedict get ready for the day as Princess Coralena and Virginia helped Rockelle.
The day started off with the exchanging of some gifts. In the picture to the left, Benedict gave Rockelle a special box of chocolates telling her how he feels. Notice, “You Caught My Eye” was written on the box. Nice touch Benedict! In the picture to the right, Rockelle gave Benedict a red hot love ducky because she went quackers for him. Nice touch Rockelle.
.
Then, it was time for dinner. Mom and dad researched a lot of restaurants that would be unique for the happy couple. Something that touched both of them in
a different way. Something that made them think of their homelands. You know since Rockelle is from Australia and Benedict is
from the United Kingdom. A place maybe they didn’t have from their birth places but something that was unique to the United States. Then the light bulbs went off in their heads and they knew of the perfect place. Reservations were made and mom/dad (AKA the chauffers for the night) then bundled the two up for their romantic dinner.
Yep, that’s right. They went to Hooters on Tara Boulevard. The night started off with some shots in the picture to the left. After a few shots, Benedict and Rockelle loosed up a bit and started talking about their feelings for each other. In the picture to the right, you can tell that there was a magnetic pull to each other. Perhaps love was starting to erupt?
.
. They did a few shots to loosen up – you know liquid courage. Hooters is a great place that plays a variety of different music. Once they were loosed up, they were rocking to the music. Benedict asked Rockelle to dance. They did the electric rock slide and the pebble shuffle… you know instead of the two step or twerking.
.
.
.
After the shots and all of that dancing, they thought they might need to get something on their stomachs. You know drinking without eating makes one light headed and who knows what would roll around then? They started with some buffalo shrimp. Who needs utensils? It is finger food so they both dived into the plate. Benedict was such a gentleman and actually wiped some sauce off of Rockelle’s face. Of course the proper way would have been by using a napkin instead of using his tongue. But she seemed to like it.
.
Both liked fish so they decided to order the big fried fish sandwich. It was enough to share. And there is a reason that it’s called the big fish sandwich. Do you see how big that fish is? This was certainly one that didn’t get away and was a keeper. Benedict started on one side and Rockelle started on the other side. They met in the middle. And the little round things are tater tots. It’s often been said that Benedict looks like a potato so it isn’t a shocker that he absolutely loved the tots.
And Hooters, they are known for their wings. Yeah, that’s right. They’re known for their delicious wings. They got some of those to try as well. What’s a great night out if you don’t have lots of food. And they were there for several hours getting to know each other. The wings were fried, breaded and medium – mmmm – Rockelle loved them.
And, of course there is one more thing you have to do when you are at Hooters. I’m not sure if you are familiar with this restaurant. The staff is wonderful, gracious and very out going. They were wonderful to Benedict and Rockelle on their special date night. And since this was their first time at the restaurant, they wanted to give them a memory in a picture. So, they all decided to have their picture taken with the special couple.
Notice the two in the picture. And the girls were gorgeous. But after the photograph, Benedict assured Rockelle that she was the beauty and he only had eyes for her. aaww – way to go Benedict!
After they left Hooters, they didn’t want the date to end. They decided they needed something sweet. And again, Benedict came through. While they were in the back seat, mom/dad overheard Benedict tell Rockelle there was nothing they could get that would be sweeter than her. I think by this point they were holding hands as well.
They decided they wanted ice cream so mom/dad (AKA Chauffers) took them to Baskin Robins where they enjoyed a scoop of snickers ice cream. By this time, they wanted to sit at a separate table from mom/dad so they could talk by themselves. Mom and dad heard a lot of giggles so it seems they were getting along great.
Date night must have went really well because the next morning, Benedict and Rockelle were seen in the kitchen sharing a heart shaped doughnut. This special date night might be the start of something fabulous – maybe even a great relationship like Bogey and McCall. One never knows.
So friends, pat yourselves on the backs for a wonderful twosome.
I would like extend a special thank you to Mike Fiely the manager at Hooters and his wonderful staff located at 6785 Tara Boulevard, Jonesboro. Ya’ll really helped this little piggy out in making this special date night one to remember for my pet rocks. I would say, “You Rock!”
Love is in the air here at the Hotel Thompson – that is for sure!
Today is the last day to vote for the Bachelor and Bachelorette that will go out on a date on Valentine’s day, February 14th. The wonderful romantic ‘date night’ will be posted on Monday, February 17th.
Love is in the air here at the Hotel Thompson. Valentines Day is right around the corner. It’s a special day . You see mom and dad got engaged on Valentines Day many, many, many years ago – snorts.
Our pet rocks here are growing and want to do something special for Valentine’s Day. They are willing to be involved in the making of a love connection. Kind of like a twist between the Bachelor and the Dating Game.
We now have three men rocks – Manny, Benedict and Bashful. We also now have three women rocks – Princess Coralena, Virginia and Rockelle. We are putting love to the test and are counting on you for help.
We are going to let you our blog friends VOTE on who goes out on a date with who for Valentines Day. I will post their ‘date night’ on Monday, February 17, 2014. What they did, where they went, what troubles they got into. You know all of the juicy behind the scenes stuff.
Today we vote for the guys. Who will go out on a date. Here’s a little bio of each for you to decide.
Bachelor #01 – Manny
Manny comes to us from France via Easy. He is a lover, has humor but is French and knows how to use it. He sweeps women off of their rocks in just a matter of a few words. Manny is also an excellent chef specializing in French cuisine.
Manny’s view on love, “I am French. It’s all about the woman and my love for her. One day I will meet the rock that makes my mustache curl and I will know it is her. I will treat her like the Queen she is.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
Bachelor #02 – Benedict Cumberock
Benedict Cumberock comes to us from the United Kingdom via Misaki. He’s a wonderful addition to the Hotel Thompson. Has a great sense of humor, makes everyone laugh and loves to play games. He has a sensitive side and quite the history buff.
Benedict’s view on love, “What matters most is what is on the inside and I have lots of love there. When I finally find that special woman who looks past my eyes, I will be in heaven and there’s no place like that.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
Bachelor #03 – Bashful
Bashful started out here at the Hotel Thompson. He was a donation to me so that I would have a bit of company. Bashful has a wicked sense of humor with lots of love and a huge jokester. His favorite thing is to travel the world being an international rolling stone.
Bashful’s view on love, “Love is something special. Something to be shared with your other half that’s meant just for you. You treat her as special as she is for as long as you can.”
So who will it be? Who would you like to see go on a date on Valentine’s Day.
So when you are snowed in during the great Snowmageddon, what do you do? The rock clan decided to go outside and attempt to make snowballs and snowmen – rolls piggy eyes. They can go for it. Snow is cold – snorts. I stayed inside and doctored mom with her back. Me and dad made a nice fire and we camped out on the sofa with mom’s heating pad.
So they all galloped outside with the camera and made a small snowman. You can see it barely on the top part of their picture. And all of the rocks decided to go out – Bashful, Manny, Princess Coralena, Virginia, Benedict and Rockelle.
.
Poor Virginia is in the upper left hand side. It looks like she almost got covered and snowed in – snorts. And do you see who is siding up all cozy together – Rockelle and Benedict. Could love be in the air… or is that snow?
I’m also glad to report that Snowmageddon in Atlanta seems to be clearing up a bit. It was tough going for a couple of days here. The snow hit us hard and I’ll be the first to admit it that we don’t do snow very well. First off, we just don’t get it that often if ever. But when we do, we shut down – literally. There were people that got stuck in traffic with the snow and ice on highways downtown. They were in their cars for hours before giving up and trying to get him by alternate ways. Then there were schools that had to keep children overnight because they couldn’t get them home in the snow and ice.
Yep, it’s been a tough couple of days here. But it looks like things are turning around. Mommy finally gets to go back to the worky place tomorrow. I hate that because I sure have enjoyed her being home with me. That’s for sure.
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
HAPPY EASTER my dear friends
