Has it been a long time or what??? So, we left for the mountains last Wednesday to escape the horrific heat - we were supposed to be back in Scottsdale today... BUT, as we were driving home this morning, we passed a cheesy, western ranch/resort. Angelina saw a sign advertising horse rides for little kids, so we pulled over. I think all of you know that Angelina has a bizarre obsession with horses. Anyway, for $16.00 the girls got to ride two little ponies around in a circle for about 5 minutes. While Bob was gone investigating the resort, the girls & I took a tour of the horse stables. When the tour guide stopped to show us the ranch's prized stallion, Caroline pointed at the horse's private parts & made some loud, inappropriate comments. Thank you, Baby Chippie. After the tour, the girls begged to have lunch at the "Wild Women Saloon" - Fitting name, right? And because Bob & I are push-overs & scared to death of the 115 degree temperatures in the valley, we got a room at the ranch for the nite.
BUT NOW, some very sad news.... According to our next-door-neighbor's son - the one taking care of our zoo while we are away - Blondie the Gerbil has left us for the big running wheel in the sky! So sad... We haven't told the girls yet. We instructed Nicholas to place Blondie in a ziploc bag & toss him in the freezer... The kids will definitely want to say "good-bye" & look at him one last time!

Who knew that parenthood could one day lead to frozen rodents in ziploc bags in your freezer among the vodka and frozen peas.
May Blondie rest in peace. At least she wasn't dinner for one of the cats. Remind me not to eat at your house when you are serving anything out of your freezer!
