HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Many know - some don't - that January 1 is my birthday, as near as is recorded.  I will be/am 12 years old.  That is quite old for a bunny but I am in fine shape - OK - a little large in shape, but hey, the eats are good here.  I have arthritis some and I do not hop and prance quite like old, but I am very mobile and keep up with Racer when he heads down his "bowling alley".  I am content and happy with my life and it has been a long and good one.  Each day now is a treat.  And deserves a treat!" - The Princess Herself

"Well put, Princess.  All of our bunnies are getting old and every day with each is a treat - for them and for us.  So on we go into 2014, with both great expectations and much fear and trepidation." - RG the Cynical Realistic who probably listens to too much country music.

"WELL, THERE YOU GO CHICO. ...

...  I have to come to visit you behind bars and then bail you out.  Listen Buster.  2014 is going to be different.  No more Honky Tonks." - Zoey THUMP

"I bet 2014 is not all that different Zoey!  Bunns will be bunns." - RG the Wise

 

OPINIONS?

"DON'T YOU DARE, CHICO ....

Don't go in that awful place.  It's been the ruin of many a poor boy.  I just know it." - Zoey Concerned.

 

 "Oh Zoey, don't fret none.  It's just a new Jimmy Dean box, not the House of the Rising Sun." - Confident Chico

"Well don't come home with Whiskey on your breath and Lovin' on your mind." - Zoey Firm

 

 

"Geeze Louise, Zoey.  He isn't going very far.  Lighten up!" - Loose RG

THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR ...

Here is another snow picture from a few days back.  All gone now!

 And here is KB in warmer times .....

"THE PARTY'S OVER ....

...  Wake me up next year." - Overdone Racer

"I did not get the car, but I DID get the manual!  Next year a headlight?" - Optimistic RG

"The wonderful spread put out by BL and a little help!"

"Lastly - As most know, Disapproving Rabbits by Sharon and Bill has been stopped after so many great years.  But there is a "replacement" - as if anything could do that totally but we'll totally take it!  It is Disapproving Buns and a link is right over there to the right!!! Hop on and submit your bun."

BENJI SAYS ....

... "Over ate?  Too much booze.  Not enough sleep? Excess partying?  Celebration to the max?  REDEEM YOURSELF!   (Leave treats inside the little door.) - The Bunn in the Booth

"Leave me alone, Bunns.  I can overdo it once in awhile." - Frustrated RG

"I CAN'T WAIT! ...

... I can't wait!  Are they all mine?" - Chico Deserving

"Poor Chico - totally beside himself." - Managing RG

"EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE ....

... Christmas basket!!!!  -  Santa RG

"Here are the cookies the kid down the street and I made - he has strange color ideas for Christmas cookies but they all tasted fine!" - Chef-RG-Dee

"OH MY. OH MY. ...

...  Looks like RG beat me outside this morning." - Tippy-Toe Kitty

 "And a Top-O-The-Mornin' to you Kitty Boy." - Frosty

"It's about gone now .. good.  We Northwesters prefer to rust than freeze." - RG Convinced

"NOT GOOD, RG.

...  Forgetting to post something for your fans is not good RG.  Santa is watching." -  Watching Princess 

"Oh woe is me.  Poor, Poor, Pitiful me. But!  Wait.  Princess - listen!  I DO have an excu... er ... REALLY good reason - I was worried about the weather - watching every available report - glued to the news - time got away from me - until I fell into a deep and troubled sleep.  Then I awoke to this ...

Isn't it good I was paying attention so we are prepared.  Not buying it are you.  I'm in trouble again."  -  Coal in the Sock RG



"HAVE YOU BEEN NAUGHTY? ...

... Or nice? ... Hmmmm - it does look like Naughty.  More bagel will fix that." - Santa's Helper Racer

"I better hop to it .. I think one of those packages might be for me!" - Bagel Boy

(Isn't this a great card from Crafty Green Poet in Scotland?  Racer is ecstatic and we enjoy it immensely.)

"I HEREBY PROCLAIM ....

... the Holiday Season in full swing.  Serve up the treats!" - Benji the Town Crier

"HEY. CHICO?"

"Wazzup Zoey?"  "Chico, do you feel like we are packed in here wrong?"  "I do Zoey.  I surely do, now that you mention it."  "It must be all that temporary Holiday help .. they don't know a happy bunny from a shoe box." - Stuffed Pair

"We need Dudley Doright to the rescue..." - RG the Helpful

STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE ..

"This fella - courtesy of a young bunny visitor the other day - is guaranteed to make you chuckle and not get me in any kind of trouble." - Chicken RG.

RACER'S FLAG ....

"Some time ago, Racer got promised his own flag - I think after Speedy maybe had one of his own - by a Knitting Bunny Group (with some human help) in Texas.  (At least I think that is how this worked.  I really am a bit confused over it all.)  He said his colors were black and white.  Yesterday he got a package from Texas."

 "It is huge and soft and gorgeous - alpaca yarn - and I think the alpaca yarn might be from Seattle and many alpacas are raised near us, for their wool.  It is big enough for a sail, a flag, a table runner, and a couple of napkins - altogether!  It is so totally Racer!"

"BL will give some thought to where and how to properly display it.  For now, this is it.  I am pretty sure Racer is bursting with pride of ownership!"

 "There was a little something in there for KB too." - Astounded RG

 "Ho Ho Ho - Now - GO AWAY." - In the Spirit KB 

 

 

"HI! ..

...  I'm Benji.  Got treats?" - Benji the Obvious

"Late evening Christmas Open House - short post!  Mary Shelly's Frankenstein ... yup!  Good work." - Pooped RG

"ANY THING GOOD ...

... up there Zoey?  Just the usual, Cheekers.  Well, then I'll just sit here and wait for something special.  Sharzeeees!"  - The Dynamic Duo!

OK you literary geniuses out there.  This is December 11th - a monumental day in literary history.  Huge.  HUGE!  As follows:  Here is the opening line in a famous, famous story.  ST. PETERSBURGH, Dec. 11th, 17 --    WHAT IS THE STORY???? - RG the Questioner

"SNOOPING! ...

... The Princess is Snooping already!  I guess I better get to shopping!" - RG Reminded

 Here, this new book might be a nice gift for some bunny lover!

HAVE A HOLLY GOLLY CHRISTMAS ...

"Here is Zoey and some holly and poinsettias for a starter Holiday wish!" - Decorator RG

 

"As many know, Have a Holly, Golly Christmas was a popular Christmas song, way back in the first Rudolph TV Special, by Burl Ives.  Burl Ives lived much of his later years here, and died, in Anacortes and was much loved.  He left some fine additions to the community.  He was the first to record Ghost Riders in the Sky - a very chilling song, even to this day." - Historian RG



"I DON'T LIKE TO COMPLAIN ...

... But HEY! 13 degrees at 9 AM on the back porch is worth complaining about.  30 degrees is a usual cold morning low temperature here in the winter.' - Rrrrrr Gggggg

 "What?  Me Worry?  BL introduced me to fleecy and I am snug as a bug in a rug!" ... " ... but RG please close the door.  It's nice in here and I greatly fear you'll let in the wind and the storm.  Since BL gave me this great fleecy, this is the first time I've been warm!" (apologies to Robert Service)" - Cozy Benji

"HE'S JUST SETTLED DOWN ...

... For a long winter's nap!  Shhhhhh." - RG the Stealthy

 "At 9:00 pm it is 18 degrees outside and probably going to be colder.  For yet three more days and nights!  It is almost unheard of here - we are not really well equipped and our heaters run almost all the time!  But we are cozy and BL has gotten the festivity decorations started!"

"BRRRRRRRR .....

....  I'm hunkering down right in here.  Bring me some Hot Chocolate.  Let those 2-foots go out and fight the cold." - Smart Chico

"Coming right up - with a candy cane to stir with?" - RG at your Service with a Smile

"I'M INNOCENT! ...

... Innocent I say.  Framed.  That's it!  Framed. Get me out of here." - Distressed Racer

"Calm down buddy!  It is just for getting your homestead cleaned and refreshed.  That is a lot better than being tossed out in 30 degree cold.  It's only about 10 minutes." - Calming RG 

"WHEN YOU'RE UP YOU'RE UP ...

And when you're down you're down.  And when you're only half-way up, you're neither up nor down! .. Tra La La ..." - Mysterious Princess

"She rarely uses this nice carpeted middle shelf - except a little bit lately.  Explanations please."  - Mystified RG

"TWO FER! ...

... Two soft bunn snuggles for the price on one!  What a pair!" - Lucky RG

Two of our local Resident Orca Whales.  Slick is 41 years old and Granny is 102!  The whole bunch - some 80 or so - are in the area eating salmon.



"KIND OF LATE FOR WHITE GLOVES ...

... but then again, I AM the PRINCESS!" - Trend Setter Princess

"Pay attention folks.  Don't be caught Holidaying in last year's fashions!" - RG Just Sayin'
