Saturday Morning - Hello My Name is "T"

Hello, my name is "T". (Forget about that guy in the back, he just happens to be there!) I just want to clarify a few things here. I have to defend myself after the post before last, you know the one where Bebe says I'm a suspicious charachter.

I've been known to be a trouble maker, but I'm not always the culprit. I stick up for myself, unlike lots of others here who are just pushovers. So I have to say something.

I was NOT the one who did anything to her sewing room. She actually does this herself when she gets in a working frenzy. She swears it's the imps who live in her playroom, but it's not really. Now once in a while I have seen things go on in that room that just aren't right, but it's nothing like what she says.

Why, just the other day, I saw something weird and ghostlike that lingered near the laptop computer, then ALL HECK BROKE LOOSE!

Bebe, well, she was beside herself, literally. She was in a haze for about 5 or 6 days. I don't know if it had anything to do with the "ground hog" effect or not. That's where everyday seems the same for days on end. It's been hot, hot, hot. Sun shiny every day. Can't do too much outside.

Well, that darn laptop compter was all messed up! Bebe had to spend hours getting it fixed, and well, she just didn't want to talk to anyone. She started to blame the trouble on me, but I had to set her straight! IT WAS THAT GHOST I told you about!

Bebe's baaack to her old self now. She's not on my back so much anymore. So, LET'S ALL JUST CALM DOWN AND GET BACK TO WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ----

IT'S PLAYTIME!!!!!!!!

"The Usual Suspects" or: "Playroom Chaos"

A h h h h h h h. . . . .! They look sooooo innocent, don't they?

Especially the one in the upper left corner. That's "T."

From Bebe: I couldn't find my color wheel this morning.

From T. : Like you need a color wheel!?

Bebe: Yes, occasionally!

T.: What for?

Bebe: Well, I have to color coordinate an outfit. . .

T.: For who? Me?

Bebe: Ah, no. It's for Peony #8.

T.: I just knew it. I told everybody we weren't getting new clothes! Again!!!!

Bebe: All in due time, T. All in due time.

T.: ("Sh h h h. Hey, I think she's had too much coffee! That color wheel is right in front of her face on the table!")

Sarah J.'s Quilt

From Bebe: This is a piece of a quilt made by Sarah J. It is very old and precious. It is entirely stitched by hand, and is made from old clothes they used to wear. It is so old, we keep it wrapped up in an old white sheet.

Sarah J.

Peony: This is my Sarah J. Bebe says she is the practical one in the family. She says she has her two feet in the ground.

Bebe: Peony! Not IN the ground! She has her two feet ON the ground!

Peony: Okay! . . . but what exactly does that mean?

Bebe: It means she believes in keeping in touch with reality, not forgetting about what it means to live life daily, without your head in the clouds, like us! Like you must cook and clean up -- Every Day!

Peony: Like making my bed, and brushing my teeth?

Bebe: Yes, that's right. Sarah J. is a very "down to earth" woman. She lived a hard life at times. She used to can all her vegetables. Not only that, but she had a garden, a small apple orchard, and she raised chickens. She used to sell the eggs in town, when times were hard. She even midwifed a few times!

Peony: What's a midwife?

Bebe: Someone who helps bring babies into the world.

Peony: Like how you brought me into the world?

Bebe: Sort of, but not quite the same Peony!
