The Weekend and Little Robin

The graduation weekend at Mudflatts Green is over, and FCC and I have returned to Runamuk for some much needed rest before returning back to the work-a-day world.

Part of the day, pre- and post-graduation party, was spent playing with little Robin, Patience's grand-daughter and my grand-niece. We talked about some of her favorite TV shows, and both agreed that Treehouse was the best channel.

We played hide and go seek. I thought that standing in the middle of the living room at Pearl's with a blanket over me constituted an excellent hiding place, but I guess I was wrong. When it was my turn again, I hid under the kitchen table, and even though there were already six people around it, and I am 6'2" and weigh 275 lbs, I thought that it was a pretty good hiding place. I was willing to put up with their feet, if they were willing to put up with my...formidable size.

You know, some people just don't take hide and seek seriously. Here I was trying to play a serious came of H and S, and they were laughing. Laughing, I tell you!

I was disgustapated! You can't play under these circumstances!

Robin and I had to postpone the game until a later date.

Later, during the the party, Robin and I agreed that things were rather dull, so we put on a puppet show. She played with two of her dollies, and I, with two of her bears. Thought they sang and danced, neither of the dollies or the bears had to shoot seltzer down their pants. This was a good thing. Despite the lack of seltzer water, the audience appreciated the show, and the party was enlivened considerably. Our job was complete!

But even lives of the party, such as Robin and I, must have down time, so while the newly enlivened party continued upstairs, we went down stairs and unwound...sort of. Robin dances, and bounced and swung, until she thought I needed a break. We read books for another little while, until her folks decided it was my bed time, and she should let me have a drink of water, and get tucked in by FCC.

FCC and I was up early enough this morning to say good bye to Prodigal, have breakfast, and then wish good bye the the rest of the clan before heading back to Runamuk.

After a call to Auntie Upstream, I plan to go to bed!

Later, Mushers!
