<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our momPerson had a nice mothers day. We got her a really great card and we all chipped in for the present. I chipped a plate, Snoopy chipped a picture frame and LuLu chipped a Vase recently, so, we discussed it and settled on replacing the Vase. We sent the clueless dadPerson down to buy it. He came back with a big round one made out of glass. He says it's a tri color because it has while, black and brown spots on it. And it's from Me, Snoopy and LuLu for all of our chipping in.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The dadPerson was supposedly going to get up and feed us breakfast for mothers day but he couldn't get him up so we got the momPerson up and she fed us but she ignored our present until later. She went for her long run and when she came back Natalie had made her french toast and dadPerson had made her coffee. They had crab for dinner. dadPerson went down and bought live spider looking things and they were playing in the sink and then he boiled them in a pot and tore them apart and chilled them and they ate them up. Snoopy, LuLu and I got some too. We didn't get much because momPerson says we are likely highly allergic to it. Bah humbug. We eat spiders and flys and stuff all the time, no big deal. Even wasps and bees .... we eat'm up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I read where Miss Debbie Person was mopping and such on mothers day, well of course she was. We had the clueless momPerson out back clearing off the patio and sweeping it and laying down the carpet for summer. Why, we've been after her for weeks, the rains are over, where is our carpet but noooooo she was full of excuses, some lame story about having to go to Big Sur and run 21 miles up a mountain one weekend, and then more weak excuses the next weekend about baseball games in San Francisco and time with the family and long runs and such and then this past weekend on Saturday she and the girls went to see Cinderella at the San Francisco Ballet so on Sunday we said HEY!! You!! The clueless one!!! It's mothers day, what kind of mother are you anyway, get busy and fix up our yard for summer, for 3 weeks already we've been wanting our outdoor carpet!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our patio is now carpeted and our fountain is flowing and our patio furniture is suitably spruced up and available for use (stay out of Snoopy's chair though, just saying) so we are surviving the rough life out here in California.</DIV>

<DIV>More later from Gracie the princess</DIV></div></body></html>
