Well Amigos today takes the cake, and I do mean takes it, as in Long Gone. Sayonara. Adios. Goodbye to the Stickboy Bakery pound cake that Pretty bought for the old woman Slow for her birthday which is coming up the 21st. Imported from Boone, North Carolina by a special messenger who also works at the Mast General Store with Pretty who spares no expense to make Slow happy on her 68th. birthday. Geez Louise. This clearly ain’t her first rodeo so why bother.
Pretty brought the cake to Slow a week in advance because she knows she will refuse to share it and she doesn’t want her to try to eat the whole thing in a day.
The last remains will be gone tonight. Trust me.
And if it was just the cake, The Red Man could let it go without dramatics, but today Slow and Pretty carried the celebrations too far.
They went for a Massage with Hot Rocks and then they both went to an Astrologer who read their Charts which must have been something else because when Slow asked Pretty how her reading went Pretty said Well, I was as interesting as I always thought I was.
That’s Pretty for you – always as funny as she thinks she is, too. Heh, heh.
Massages, Astrologers, Pound Cake…what’s next?
So Sports Fans we have no clue. We’ll just have to hide and watch.
Have a great weekend cyberspace Amigos, and when you’re out having a cocktail or two, raise a toast to the old woman Slow.
She ain’t much, but she’s all we got
Get me outta here Percy…it must be time for my meds.
Red's Rants and Raves 
Wishing you a very happy birthday!

I need massages for my lower back pains, but occasionally I indulge in a hot stones massage! You should have been with us!! It might be just what the doctor ordered for you, too…take care of yourself. Holidays are hard, but you will survive. The Red Man believes in you and sends you Paw Snaps and Twirls for the weekend! 🙂

Terry, you don’t ever need to buy a dog. Figure out the breed that you want and then go online to their Rescue organizations! You Rescue him or her, and they will Rescue you. Be well.

I don’t know, Red. Ma says Slow is pretty darn amazing. She’s covered a lot of ground in 68 years, and has written engaging memoirs (That’s Ma’s word “engaging.” I don’t know what she’s talking about half the time!!). We want to wish her a very Happy Birthday, and look forward to the day we can extend birthday felicitations (really, Ma?!) to Slow in person. We are especially impressed with the very Interesting, very Clever Pretty who wisely provided the cake a week early. She knows how to look after her Slow. 🙂
Have a great day Slow. We are hoping the planets align into a super, wonderful year for you.
Love, hugs, and sloppy Poppy kisses,
Poppy, Cassie Potatoes, and Ma*
*(I hope that cake is as good as it looks. Savor the buttery goodness of that last cake with me in mind. I love virtual cake tasting. It’s the only kind I can indulge for now. :D)

Dear Ma, Poppy and Cassie P, thank you so very much and we also look forward to the day when we can share personal felicitations on a birthday or just any old regular day! And yes, Pretty knows how to celebrate a birthday with Slow…:)
Actually, Slow decided to save the little bit of pound cake for breakfast tomorrow so she could enjoy yet one last day of decadence. I will tell her to savor that last little bit in your honor. All of us at Casa de Canterbury wish you a weekend of rest and improvement!
Paw Snaps and Twirls,
The Red Man

Happy belated birthday, Slow! I love Red’s blog…have been stopping by regularly since our session. It was wonderful to talk to you and I hope to again, soon. Also will look for announcements of your readings ,etc. Would love to read your work. PS ran into Pretty at Mast General yesterday. It was busy as all get out what with employee discount day:) Tell Red I’m beyond honored to be referred to, even obliquely, on his esteemed blog!

Greetings Therese – so you are the one responsible for Slow and Pretty’s recent experience with their charts. Well, thanks for that exercise in futility. They are both hopeless and still trying to figure out their results!! 🙂
Maybe they will require an extra session or two…Pretty told us she saw you at Mast yesterday and she was very happy that you stopped by!
Thanks for the interest in the old woman Slow’s works – by all means, order one of them from us on our site here…I’ll get the old girl to sign one for you when you do!
