Wild Turkey

Today, while I was on the phone with a client discussing how best to proceed with resolving her issues, the dogs commenced to barking. Yesterday, the neighbor behind us was having work done on his A/C and of course Mopsy and Honey just had to remind me all day about what great watch dogs they are. So anyway, I am on the phone, and the dogs started barking and I look out my window hoping that my evil eye would somehow convince them to cease and desist with the barking. When what did I see? A turkey peering over the fence. He was standing on top of Joey's truck. Just standing there. (Well, just standing there and leaving presents for Joey.) As soon as I got off the phone, I raced into the bedroom yelling for Joey to come see! Turkey! On his truck! I was thinking that he could get the pot of oil hot and we could just drop him in like they do lobsters into boiling water. Anyway, he went outside, and I went outside with my camera and whadd'ya know? TWO TURKEYS! On his truck. Until they saw us and then they popped up on the roof and walked over our house. I went through the house and out the front door and I have no idea what happened to them. Oh well.

So then, the dogs were in the house, which I don't usually do when I am working and here is why. Mopsy somehow got Bibianna's beautiful handmade with love by Elena and Jane "Annie Get Your Gun" ornament and was eating it. EATING IT! UGH. So, I get the piece that she was chewing on away from her, got her into the sunroom and proceeded to search the house for the other pieces. I found all but two pieces of the ornament and in the meantime called Miss Elena on the phone in a panic. As usual, Miss Elena saved the day and I took the pieces to her and she fixed the chewed pieces and put it all back together with more love. She even had to replace Bibianna's chewed up hat with the director's hat. That is just like her to put one of her students needs before her own. And, as she said, maybe some day Bibianna will be directing a play and she can remember how she got the director's hat the year that Mopsy tried to eat her ornament.

And that is pretty much the only exciting things that happened today.
