We have already decided to go back to the Great
Smoky Mountains and are planning a trip for next year with our Australian friends Merv and Madge.
There is lots to do there and we will also visit
Nashville and take in the Grand Ole Opry. Merv is a big country music fan and
dresses mostly like Garth Brooks.
Madge has developed the ability to filter out
country music – and most of what Merv says to her.
I am not sure if I mentioned that we are going to
Australia next week. Cate for one week and me for two weeks.
The horrifying prospect for Cate is that she will
have to deal with the kitty litter – and feeding and watering the cats. Cate
will only go near the kitty litter wearing full Hazmat gear and carrying a whip
and a chair.
I know that when I am not here she survives mainly
on vegemite toast so on the weekend I will make her a batch of chili and a pot
of sausage and bean stew. I hope this will give her strength to open tins –
empty litter – and give Monika her Whisker Lickin’s every nite.
She will get no peace until she does this.
I am sure the Purina people had a reason for
putting the apostrophe where they did. It is not immediately obvious. Perhaps it was composed by the person who did this sign.

ReplyDeleteI've just been teaching an Achievement Standard where the kid has to combine 2 verbal elements and 2 visual elements to develop an idea. You've done it, Badger!

Do you know why I had to laugh out loud when I saw your photograph of the Appalachian Trail sign?
