Dr. Seuss Day 2017

Percy, Sam, Buddy, Cotton.

Percy:  And embarrassed I am.  This is an old Dr. Seuss graphic. 

Buddy:  I know it is, but Jan is sick and the internet was out for most of two days, and then we have severe storms coming as we write this tonight so we have to do this in time to shut down safely.

Percy:  I'm sorry.  I shouldn't have said I'm embarrassed.  This is from a fun time when Sam and Cotton were still with us.

Buddy:  We had fun with all the Farmers we've lost over the years and occasions like Dr. Seuss Day bring back happy memories, don't they!

Percy:  They sure do and I've reconsidered.  I'm proud to be re-using a graphic reminding us of two great memories.

Buddy:  Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Percy:  I don't think he can hear you.  He died in 1991 at age 87.

Buddy:  That's okay.  He left a great legacy of books for children of all ages.  Once a year even Jan is a kid at heart.

Percy:  If she cooks green eggs and ham for our breakfast, will you eat them?

Buddy:  Hey, if she cooks us purple ham with orange polka dots for breakfast, I'll be so thankful, and I'll sure eat my share.


Percy:  Hmmm, I wonder why Dr. Seuss never wrote about purple ham with orange polka dots?

Buddy:  I don't know.  Maybe he didn't have much imagination.


We always have much to be thankful for, so we are joining the Thankful Thursday blog hop at Brian's Home.

Dr. Seuss Day 2016

PERCY:  Last year we re-posted our first Dr. Seuss Day graphic because Jan was recovering from a bad fall and several injuries.

MICAH:  Today we are going to re-post our 2014 graphic.  Jan wanted to make a new one but couldn't make herself replace the old one.

TAYLOR:  This is my first celebration.  I thought it's supposed to be a fun day.  Why are you all so somber?

BUDDY:  Sam was the heart of our Dr. Seuss posts.  He was our hat dog, always just a little out of step with any occasion. 

l-r: Micah, Cyndi, Rusty, Sam, Merci, Cameron

CYNDI:  We decided we want to post this one in honor of Sam and Cameron.  They were both here to celebrate with us last year.

 MERCI:  Our pictures just won't be as classy without Sam in his hat and Cameron in his tuxedo. 

MARCUS:  I can't bring Sam or Cameron back but I have been working on a project to make you all smile.  You are smiling, Merci.  I see the corners of your mouth moving.

RUSTY:  She's probably waiting for the crash.  That hat is obviously too many sizes too big for you.  How in the world are you keeping it up so it doesn't suffocate you?

MARCUS:  Tissues. I stuffed the hat with tissues.  It works well as long as I don't tilt my head.  Or sn ... snee .... Achoo!

BUDDY:  Hey, Marcus, can you breathe under there?

PERCY:  I don't suppose you need a tissue?
