The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

  • Artistic Attempts weekly (alternating between Painting With A Twist, That Art Place, and Peniot's Palette).
  • Bunko with the Belton Bunko Babes monthly.
  • Participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge.
  • Spades and Liverpool Rummy with the Spadetts weekly.
  • The Mighty Texas Dog Walk, Austin (fund raiser for Service Dogs, Inc--they train shelter dogs to be Service Dogs, then give them free of charge to people with disabilities.)

Independence Day Parade Preparations

So....I've been waiting for Main Street to start filling up with pick-ups and pop-up tent frames, and the odd flatbed trailer.  They usually start flooding Main Street and Central the end of June. 

The banners are up. The flags are flying. A couple places have been roped off. Even a couple port-a-potties and risers have been set out. The COB (City of Belton) barricades have popped up, so Belton's Finest can block off the streets a little before the parade. But the preperations are nothing like years past. 

Well...I happened to be downtown. 

OMGOSH!!! That's where everyone is! All the way from the Courthouse  down to Sonic (unless the route has changed I think Sonic is just past the end.)

Anyway, not only is every square inch already spoken for, vendors have already set up. And pop-up tent frames, flatbeds, and pick-up trucks are no longer "enough."

People have started renting cherry pickers and window washing risers!!!

Who rents cherry pickers and window washing risers for a parade? 

Too many people for this introvert. I'll stay inside with my AC and watch it on the TV. 

Happy Independence Day!
