Four Picture Friday: Shout Out to West Virginia

Happy West Virginia Day, Everybody!



Finding West Virginia

It's got to be around here somewhere, Chimpy.

Ah, the Crocodile Creek placemat map comes through. Thanks for nothing, Rand McNally.

State Mammal: Black Bear
Chimpy demonstrates the West Virginia way to rassle a bar.

First, you stare it down to establish your dominance.

Smackdown!

Then shake.

Next!

"Mountaineers Are Always Free"

Here's Chimpy's tribute to the Mountaineers. Let's go!

See You Around, West Virginia!

Wednesday Moment of Zen

Okay, so the Doors aren't really zen, but there is a zen lesson here and that is to enjoy some of your favorite music.

Four Picture Friday: Image 88

Seeing that the horse clippers freaked so many people out, we decided to take Chimpy to Meng's hair stylist, Jessica.



OMG! She has blue eyes?!


No lollipop? No, but we scored a free hat!

Hairdresser high-five!

Monday Matinee: Cat Propaganda

Four Picture Friday: Gardener Chimpy

Chimpy joins her family's proud tradition of gardening by apprenticing as scarecrow.

She is soon promoted to supervising a supply run.

She joins her pop on early morning snail patrol and watering detail. (Snails are relocated, not crushed).

We thought we'd have a trial run/test market vegetable stand by selling a few of our loquats, but the city shut us down for operating a bathtub out of our front yard without a license.

Celebrity Lookalikes

I've long maintained that Chimpy looked like Buddy Hackett when she was newborn. Not many people believed me, so I decided to turn the matter over to some professionals. Here's what MyHeritage.com had to say about Chimpy and Louie.

Monday Matinee: Dog Crazy

So Chimpy is dog crazy right now, absolutely crazy. When she sees one she points and screams really loudly. Yesterday we went to a Mother's Day fair and passed a lot of dogs, Chimpy was amazed. Here she is letting us know she sees a dog and freaking out said dog, a golden retriever named Boomer. (Boomer is, incidentally, the largest dog she has ever seen, I don't know what she'll do when she sees the Irish wolfhound at O'Reilly's).

Four Picture Friday: I Likes to Go Swimmin'

Chimpy got to go for her first swim thanks to her friend, Sis. We swam for a bit before the girls decided they'd rather sit poolside and make catty remarks about the other babies.

Chimpy: Is that Sally Brown in that two piece?

Sis: I hear she's dating a boy twice her age.

Back in for a cool off.
