RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar How Y'all Are?

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Good morning, Lion, Ape, Kat, and Kimmi!

Yes, Lion. We Canadians are laid back. After all, it's better on top, eh?

Kimmi's partly right – the hardcover and paperback are on the market, but the ebook has been held up by "technical glitches" whatever they are. Kindle won't say.

I was going to hold off telling everyone until all three were available.

There will be an audiobook as well, That's being recorded now (I hope), but probably won't be available for up to two months.

I have to say, it's been harder getting the book published than it was writing it!

Sheesh!

I'll keep y'all posted.

Market day, so I'm gonna grab a mug of tea in a to-go cup.

I'll be back!

Take care out there, y'all!

Oops, sorry I spilled the beans early, Bear! Me just excited!!! :worship:

Good morning y’all. Whew, what a busy week culminating in our event last night. Now it’s time to enjoy the weekend. What’s this about a book? And what’s going on with weddings? I need to get some coffee and read back over the last few days of posts.

And what’s going on with weddings?

Same things as always.

Person A says "Will you marry me?"

Person B says, "I will but sign this prenup first." 😜

Thanks for the warning. looks long and hard at retirement plan

Good morning. Happy wet weekend (for me and Kat, who's not far from me this weekend, at least). Though it is brightening up a bit after some heavy rain earlier.

Been cussing out Hewlett Packard. For some godawful reason, my wife's computer has 3 Displayport monitor ports but no HDMI. I know HP had a bit of hard-on for Displayport for a time but you'd think they could have put one measly HDMI port on. Now I have to run to a local computer shop to pick up an HDMI to Displayport adapter for her new monitor. (Yeah, I know, first world problems).

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. And a cupcake.

Well it’s Sunday y’all

First In Lights On

Big Beautiful Bertha

wake waiting to give forth the nectar of Gods.

Copper Tea Kettle whistling her pleasure too.

Mix of doughnuts and sweets placed on side bar.

Back with music shortly

1st tune

Let's Do It Again

Steely Dan

By playing the "long version" of Steely Dan gave me time to check on Kimmi's boy toys

Now for a request from our own Summer

Crazy

Raul Malo

may this give you a quiet smile

☘️

To close this circle

Tsu-Ching

Raul Malo w/ The Mavericks

☘️

But before I leave I have to post this from yesterday football game, KC Chiefs vs

Detroit Lions. Nothing spectacular till Mahomes shows his talent connecting to Kelce

Can you say "Talent on loan from God?"

Lion Out

☘️

Oh noes. Kelce is playing in the US and Taylor is stuck in Britain making money hand over fist. I mean, singing. Whatever shall they do?

(Disengages sarcasm mode)

Good morning. I keep coming up with ideas and then realizing they are stories I have done before. Admittedly, it's often old ideas dating back to my early Lush days but still seems a bit of a waste. And those stories died in my meltdown so revisiting them is perhaps justifiable. Still, feels like a director remaking his own films (which has, in fact, happened).

Morning Ape!

enjoy a cup of tea and a boston creme and help to a few cookies to go too.

Good morning everybody!

Thank you Lion for the setup.

Ape, as Marci Lipman once said, "Of course it's been done before. Everything's been done before! So do it different, do it better!"

That's my motto and I'm sticking to it!

Summer, catching up on this lot is a bit like catching up on Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck – You may have missed something, but it's probably not important.

Yes, I'm working on a book. If you want to contact me directly, I can bring you up to speed.

Kat, you picked a problematic time to be in Ontario! We've had drenching rainfall yesterday, plus more promised for today. Toronto broke an all-time record for rain! I'm sure they won't be happy about getting more now. Still, you're on the banks of Lake Huron – about 2 hours away from Lady Jay and I – so maybe it won't be as bad there today, although your forecast is for scattered t-storms until late afternoon.

Anyway, I'm hoping to do some work on my Blue Site comp entry today. If I can figure out how this rhyming thing works!

Take care out there, 'K?

Meh. Rhymes are for wussies. I'm focussing on meter. 😊

Yeah, I know. Still, I always feel like going back to a much used well suggests lack of depth or something. I know my disinterest in kink (well, mostly) is part of it, since it kind of limits what kinds of sex I am inclined to use.

Actually, it's been better down here. The worst crap stayed East of us (e.g. the tornado in Ayr). We had a couple heavy showers but by dinner time, it had mostly cleared up. And she's < an hour North of me so probably similar. Now this morning? Yeah, it's a Eurythmics kind of day. What does that mean?

Happy lazy Sunday y’all. I think I’m all caught up lol. Any plans I had to be productive today went out the window pretty early. I’ve laid around texting a few friends, barely doing laundry, surfed lush getting inspired to…😊. Everyone needs a Sunday like this.

I'm writing!! And progressing!! This is looking like a novella at least, too. There's some plot bits I still need to figure out and connect up but, hey, if it's going to be that long, I can handle that in later chapters.

I’m looking forward to reading 😊

OK, so it looks like The Lion Sleeps In This Morning…

In the bar, if not the jungle.

Let's get caffeine started, shall we?

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up the empty bottles and most of the drunks, so we're good to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and steaming away. There are pots of Red Rose and Earl Gret available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned out, rinsed, and refilled, and is now perkin' away.

Today we're using Maxwell House, 'cause it was the first thing that came to paw.

I've put out donuts for the dozens, with Sara's sprinklies set aside with her sports section.

Plus I've got some strawberry pie! Oh me oh MY!

And let's add some Espresso – from Sabrina Carpenter …

Morning Bear!!

Now start my trio of music

Head Cutting Duel

And now, let's get up and dance … with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, from La La Land … the little film that DIDN'T win an Oscar… It's A Lovely Night …

And since I see that Lion has roared into the bar, I'll leave it to him, with his encyclopedic knowledge of music, to play the tunes for a sleepy Monday in August!

Take care out there, 'K?

Next

Touch of Grey

Grateful Dead

After the upbeat and happiness of The Dead, and Bear sneaking in the back I thought I heard a ruckus in the store room 😁

Lion Out

Happy Monday, my fellow Rumpettes. I hope everyone's week is off to a flying start. It's a cool day here, with a high of 61 predicted but sunny. I will be heading out for my bike ride on the 17-mile drive to get my day started. Hopefully, when I get back, I can stop in and have some of that strawberry pie if there is any leftover.

After a rousing 17 mile ride, I've put a whole pie for you Reese. Take what you wish, I've placed Terrance to watch over your pie.

☘️

Hey y’all. Healthy bike rides and yummy sweets and pie and coffee! It’s almost mid afternoon here and I totally missed the morning. Ah well such is the life of a working girl. That didn’t sound right. I’m not a “working girl”, I’m a girl who works. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea 🤭

No one would think our sweet Summer was the other kind of working girl! 😘
I'm just stopping in for something cold and a wave. Had a great time in Grand Bend with Sis and her fam this past weekend. (Left only footprints, Mr. Ape!).

Much to do before we head up to Michigan on Wed. Last-minute preparations are underway for our daughter's wedding! I remembered last minute I didn't have a suitable purse for the wedding. Bless you Amazon Prime!

Hope all is well. I'll do my best to catch up next week after the wedding! 😎

So did you get a Biblical deluge like Toronto or just on and off showers like me? I have been assuming the Bend would be more like London. Glad you had a good time. Might be up there myself later in the week.

I think that pie just might taste better than mine....anyone want to do a comparison?
