We had an email from Jan (the Funny Farmer’s mom) asking how
we were. We haven’t been around here lately.
Mommy hasn’t been typing for me!
So this is the news (but not in
detail): Mommy has been having some medical problems recently, and that has
caused some green paper problems, and that has caused some sads, and that has
caused more medical problems and green paper problems. We just didn’t feel like
spreading such bad news around. We need
help, and you all are kind, but some of you have problems of your own, and
there have been LOTS of sads for a lot of us, so we have been silent. Help somehow, if you can. But there are others who need help too.
That’s it.
But I will tell you about the
latest stuff. In more detail.
We did have our
neighborhood parade (last year it “rained out”). I could hear the bands from
here! And speaking of rain, we have been having torrential ones. Last night
Mommy was sure the windows would be washed clean (the window cleaning project
for the building was cut due to green paper problems. See? There are problems
all around and not just Mommy and me!). The rains have just made them look
dirtier! Rain is water, right? How can water make windows look dirtier??
The lights went out in the whole
neighborhood last night, but we have
generators! Our lights came back on, but the neighborhood was dark. Our
problem? Somehow our water cut off.
Maybe there’s flooding or something and they had to turn it off. Mommy heard on the news before one of the
storms last night that her old neighborhood had flooding problems, and a lot of
other areas in town had flooding and fallen tree damage and no power. Her old
building did not have backup generators, so they probably are still without
power. So lots of neighborhoods are without power. We are without water! That is not good either.
Mommy said if this continues lots of people will be dirty in church
tomorrow--or think they have a good excuse to skip cause they have no power. And the vending machines that have water here? They don’t! So that is
kind of scary. How does Mommy have coffee or tea or boil water for her soup or have oatmeal? How
does she shower or wash clothes? How do I
drink?? I only have a little water
left! Let’s hope they fix the problem really soon!
Oh, and the special news (and
there is some because I am special):
Mommy has decided even though she has serious green paper problems that I
shouldn’t suffer. So, after one trip to a food bank, she has ordered from Nip and Bones! I am to have a new bed
and DA BIRD and another surprise. Some people will say Mommy is stupid for
doing something like this, but they aren’t animal lovers I guess. Family should
come first, right? And we are family! Check out Katie Isabelle’s blog for what
brandi’s bed looked like. It disappeared. And, no, Katie didn’t steal it! Her's just looked like brandi's. And I should have not just brandi's quilt and blankie and stuff. I should have my own!
We will catch up soon. Give us some time. Speaking of time: time for my
massage, Mommy!
Mommy calls me her little diva.

Love to you all,
QUINN
GOOD NEWS! THE WATER IS BACK!!!!!
