We Got Mail!?

What?!  The postman came to our crib here at the Hotel Thompson.  We are *ALL* excited and jumping for joy.  The adventures will be out of this world!

Even the post man was excited.  The package was bigger than a shoe box – big enough that he couldn’t leave it in the mailbox – he had to actually bring it to the door.

What was it?  Oh do tell huh?  Well…. this pigs mouth is shut.  Why do I do this?  Evil snorts – because you’ll have to come back to my blog tomorrow to find out what it was. Maybe I’ll post a picture of it and everyone will be surprised and shocked as to what it is…. maybe 🙂

See you tomorrow my friends.

 

Paw Time with Houdini

 Brrr and Shivers my friends.  It has been a little chilly willy here this week at the Hotel Thompson.  I mean you did see the great ‘snow’ that big brother Bacon posted earlier int he week, right?  Heck, here in the south – a snow flake was seen, we must shut down the city!  Barks with puppy laughter.

Well it was so bad, that I had to get on top of mom’s chaise and get warm by the fuzzy blanket and the fireplace – you see that in the distance in the picture?  And yes, we can’t forget Mr. Beaver.  Mr. Beaver is what is next to my head.  He is way bigger than me and I drag him all over the Hotel Thompson.  He’s a great pal for sleeping, cuddling and of course beating up… can you believe sometimes he tries to beat me up too?  How dare that beaver!

And you are not going to believe this my friends but me and the Baconator have been keeping secrets here at the Hotel Thompson.  Yep, that’s right we said secrets as in plural.  Something will be happening next week.  I can’t share it right now.  Me and the pig have been sworn to secrecy by mom/dad.  But I can tell you that it’s exciting and wonderful.  Now, I need to go and help mom/dad with some cleaning around the Hotel Thompson.

Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well.  Happy weekend!

The Shoe Box

 A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years.  They had shared everything.  They had talked about everything.  They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask about.  

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box.  But one day, the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.  

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.  She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.  When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000! 

He asked her about the contents.  “When we were to be married,” she said, “My grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.  She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”  

The little old man was so moved that he had to fight back the tears.  Only two precious dolls were in the box.  She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving.  He almost burst with happiness.  “Honey,” he said, “That explains the doll but what about all of this money?  Where did it come from?”  

“Oh,” she said, “That’s the money I made from selling the dolls”.
