Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I know you'll be pleased to hear I've opened
The Lake Junebug Resort & Rumpus Room
but don't bother to call for a reservation. We can't accommodate you. You're disappointed, I know. The sparkling waters of Lake Junebug are especially beautiful after a visit from Debby. The daily afternoon thunderstorms are something to see and hear, and the chef's haute cuisine features some chicken salad from Costco that remains in the refrigerator. Perhaps I'll open
The Lake Junebug Resort & Rumpus Room
to you, the hoi polloi, next year.
For now, you can feel you're a part of the fun we have here by adopting a tadpole. For a contribution of $100 - $1,000, you can name some tadpoles and I'll post photos of them when they become healthy, happy frogs. We prefer cash handouts donations.
The private party staying with us for a while consists of Rebekah, Another Junebug Production video assistant, and her little dog, Fritz.
That's Rebekah, but not Fritz. Princess is giving her Auntie Rebekah some love.
Fritz is a chihuahua mix. I wish I had a video of my girls with him. When Fritz trots around the yard on his stubby legs, Princess and Penelope follow behind him as if they're a pair of nannies who are worried their charge might suffer an injury if they aren't watching his every move.
I'm sorry to say I am ill. I had to take a six-week leave of absence from work. I returned this week only to get sick again. I have an appointment with a specialist later this month, and the fun fun fun of a colonoscopy and perhaps some other tests will be mine to enjoy. I remain optimistic that all will be well.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
I'm glad the danger of Debby has passed, Janie. That is an impressive lake and as a card carrying member of the hoi polloi I look forward to next year's invitation. In the meantime, sign me up for 1,000 tadpoles (virtual) and I will e-pay you the fee (also, unfortunately, virtual). Enjoy your visitors, both human and tiny doggy. I feel for you regarding your future adventures with the scopes and other medical tests/devices. Hope your doctor can get to the bottom of things (no pun intended).
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me smile, dear donkey. Quite a few years ago it was popular for conservative politicians to accuse liberals of being card carrying members of the ACLU. I insisted that X and I had to join the ACLU so we could carry the cards. That's the kind of rebel I am.
DeleteLOL - atta girl!
DeleteEnjoy your company and the new "resort" in your back yard. I hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth. It's supposed to rain all afternoon so the lake should be even more beautiful.
DeleteI truly wish you were well. May the tests be good and conclusive.
ReplyDeleteI've no interest in the Junebug Resort, but that pie safe behind Rebekah is handsome.
Thanks. I love the pie safe. It matches an end table on the other end of the couch. My action figures live on top of the pie safe. For them I call it an armoire. I don't think Top of Pie Safe Gang sounds very powerful.
DeleteHi there, my sweet princess. Love to get some love from the girls and Fritz too :)
ReplyDeleteI will say "Hi" to you here even though you're sitting on the couch with me.
DeleteHopefully Lake Junebug dries up soon??
ReplyDeleteAnd sending positive vibes for your tests and health to improve.
xoxo
It keeps raining on and off so it will be a while till Lake Junebug is dry again. I've gotten used to it being nasty during much of the summer.
DeleteI'm so sorry you're sick, Janie, and wish you a speedy recovery! Hopefully, the 'fun' tests will yield some solutions. At least you have company to help you run the Resort!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Penelope should manage the resort. She loves to take charge of things. Princess can be the concierge because she's a people pleaser. Fritz can be the greeter, kind of like Tattoo on that show Fantasy Island. Da plane da plane.
DeleteSo sorry you’re ill. A 6-week leave of absence just for a start sounds serious. (Any excuse to get out of work?) I hope all goes well and you can share some good news. Do you have row boats to rent at Lake Junebug?
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice to have time off from the job, but six weeks of no paycheck isn't good. We don't have row boats -- yet. That's a good idea.
DeleteSorry to read about you not being well. I hope that everything turns out okay with the testing that will be done. I also just read your last post, as I am a bit behind in my blog reading. I am glad that you survived Debby, and I agree that Do-nad and his minions are just plain weird. I absolutely love that journalist that asked, "What is a black job?" Every time the orange monster said something, she'd have a come back question. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael. I saw the same specialist when I was ill a few years ago. I'm confident everything will be okey. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview, too. It was also fun to hear the audience laughing at do-nad and insulting him.
DeleteI'll visit Lake Juneberg Resort if I can have a kiss from Princess. Hope all the tests go well and aren't too uncomfortable/embarrassing.
ReplyDeletePrincess will give you a kiss when you visit. You can be sure of it. I've given up on being embarrassed by exams and tests. I do whatever must be done with a joke.
DeleteI really, really hope you find a solution and are feeling better soon! Glad Betty didn't do any more damage to you personally. Sounds like this could be quite the hurricane season. I worry about everybody dealing with crazy weather. Rest and feel better. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm taking it easy today and Rebekah is helping out. When she takes Fritz out she takes the girls, too, and she helps with cleaning and food.
DeleteAh, yes, standing water. Always a Florida pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope your illness resolves without any drama. It seems to be the year for colonoscopies -- I know several people (in addition to myself) that had them!
The standing water and the mosquitoes! I go out for 5 minutes to scoop poop and come in with 10 new bites. The best thing about a colonoscopy is you feel so much better when it's over.
DeleteSending good vibes from soggy Ohio. We had tornadoes and flooding this week, so it was something. Glad you have some company (both two-legged and four!).
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of places got hit much harder by Debby than we did. I hope your area can recover quickly.
DeleteOh, Janie, I'm so sorry to hear you are not well. Please keep us posted. Speaking of colonoscopies......Did you see they've come out with a blood test that can catch colon cancer early? I don't know if it's still in the testing stage or has been approved. Wouldn't it be great if a blood test did away with colonoscopies? Take special care of yourself. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard about that blood test, Sandra. Thanks for telling me. It will definitely be wonderful if a blood test can replace colonoscopies.
