Jumping the Gun, Whatever That Means…

WHAT IS THIS? A RAID?  A HUNTING PARTY?  SOME BALLOONS THAT LANDED ON CACTUS?

Well, some kids around here must not be able to read calendars…tonight outside down on the little road behind our house where the run-off rains flow under the pavement to the sea, there were loud pop, pop, pops and I called to papa and asked, “Is that you, papa, what’s going on” and papa said, “It’s not me” and mama said “Loulou, hold your little ears, I think it’s some kids shooting off fireworks (those feu d’artifice I spoke of, whenever that was,…) and I said, “Mama, do those kids know that it’s only December 30th, or what?”

And mama said that you’d think they would wait until New Year’s to really let us all know we’re moving into 2021.  Mama said that they jumped the gun…I’ll get back to you on that one.

I held my ears.

But, it was a heads-up, that’s for sure, to let us know that we are just about to start a year with vaccines and hope and surely a bunch of new experiences from this last one!  Oh, boy, were there ever.

What were yours?  I would love to know!

Whew.  Just thinking about 2020 could wear a kitty out.  And I mean OUT!

We’re hoping it’s quieter tonight, Loulou…but we wouldn’t count on it.

We aren’t giving another thought to the awful year of 2020 and instead are getting excited about a new year. I’m thinking we will hear some pop-pop-pops tonight around here but we MIGHT get rain which would certainly help keep it quiet. We wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR….thanks for the giggles and fun.

Hugs, Teddy

Well, we heard no popping last night – but may tonight! But the police are everywhere here, so maybe not! Everyone has to be in at 8PM or – a BIG FINE – and after the 2nd – at 6PM!!! YIKES! I will need to learn to use the toilet! But doggies can go out to if their peeps have filled out the forms! Whew!

Sorry that hurt your ears. I don’t like fireworks either.

Well, in a way you can’t blame them for trying to rush 2020 offstage. So just keep your ears covered.

We’re supposed to have pouring rain so we probably won’t have fireworks for 2 days, but they will set them off eventually.
