birthday mom

"So to help celebrate with her, dad got us a McDonald's hamburger with her in mind. That's a tradition for us on our birthdays, but since mom is part of the carnivorous pack, we made an exception. Here I am eyeballing that burger and missing my mommy." --Betty

wwrd?

the following paragraphs are excerpts from our blog entries from chocolatepeanut.com. our human saw this website, wordle.net, and thought wow, this looks like something she designs in her brochures and what not...wordle asks for a blurb of text (below blog text) and they generate the outcome (the word art)...We ask, WWRD? (what would renee do?), and this is it....

(images 1-2) Many friends and fans have asked us if we're doing okay since there hasn't been a recent update on our blog in the past several months. We've had plenty to say, but mom has been out of sorts for the past few months getting her work done and dealing with other stuff, so she hasn't been able to transcribe all of our ramblings. She just keeps saying, "Oh yeah, I'll post it this weekend" or "Hey, that's funny, maybe I'll find some time to sit down and make that worth an entry". We tell her that hey, it doesn't have to be a novel! Here's a quick lowdown on what's been up with us in the past months...Mom has taken several trips to North Carolina so far this year. Work was a little light in the beginning of the year, which made travel a bit easier, but now she's swamped. We all looked at her and said BLOG! 

here's another example:

(images 3-5) That early Christmas morning, a warm breeze was melting the snow down to a thin coating. It was foggy too. After a while my stomach had calmed down, and she and I slept on the couch for a couple of hours as the sun came up. Needless to say I didn't eat when the others did later that morning. She had made these great stockings cut out of brown paper and sewn together the night before. She made one for each of us and tucked in a special treat. I got a round flat pigskin chew that she let me carry around later in the day. I was so thrilled with this thing--a pigskin potato chip. Miles had one too. It seemed his was better than mine, and to him, mine was better than his. Siblings play those games. Cookie got a rawhide treat. Mom doesn't like those things, but it was a holiday. Cali got a smokey bone and a toy--a rubber bowling pin with a sound, as it turns out, spooked her. She does love toys.
