Trudy! I love you, but you sure do shed a lot.
Mr. DJ’s youngest brother and family are coming tomorrow morning. Gotta tidy up around here. It’s a short day for Roxi–early dismissal–and she promised to help. What a good girl!
By the way, the photo above is one I took for an e-course I’m taking. If you’re interested, you can read more about it here, Where I Talk About Art.
I’ve had quite a number of new visitors stop by on JaPRA. Hello, you all! (I wanted to say “y’all”. See? I’m not entirely converted. If I were, I might say “Hiya!”). I love making new friends and hope that you’ll leave me a comment so I can come visit you in your part of the world.
Right. So, I’m taking off for the rest of the week. I’m not sure what my guests have in mind to do this weekend, but I’m planning on getting in some play time with my niece and nephew :-)
Have a lovely weekend, wherever you are!

Have fun playing!
Sounds wonderful!!! Hello to everybody and Trudy!
Have a great time.
Have a fab time playing hostess!
Have a lovely time!
I went to a school where everyone said “Howdy” now I say “Hi you guys” It annoys me even as I’m saying it. I Conformed!!!
Yay for visitors! Have fun and don’t tire yourselves too much over-cleaning.
Have a great visit with your dear company! I will go over to where you talk about art, right away. Thank you for coming over to visit at Oasis and leaving a sweet comment. <3
You have a great weekend, too!
“Hiya?” Is this a British thing? This is very surprising. I thought they said things like “Toodles!” and “Pip, pip, cheerio!” and “What, ho?”
I think I am stuck in a Wodehousian view of British greetings despite having visited a few years ago. The romantic in me.
It’s lovely that you’re looking forward to company. So many people grumble. Yay, you!
Enjoy your company!
Tawny–I am having a good dose of fun :-)
Laurie–Trudy is having a ball (literally) with her young cousins.
Moannie, Emm, Christine, and Barrie–Thanks, ladies :-)
Alyson–Um… too late ;-)
Cynthia–Thank you, dear!
Chris–The weather is great today, so that always helps :-)
Fantastic Forrest–It’s “Hiya” for hello and “Cheers” for most anything (thank you, goodbye, some other things that I can’t think of right now). I have heard “Ta” for goodbye. Toodles! :-)
Hiya Trudy!!!! the world’s cutest dog after Georgie and Sammie Jo ha!!! btw – your facebook picture is beautiful!
There’s also “Watcha cock, Ta ra,TaTaForNow, I’ll be seeing ya!
Hope you enjoy your visitors !
Trudy has nice paws
Joni–And you look like you should be walking on the Red Carpet! Gorgeous :-)
Barbara–TTFN is what my daughter used to say. I think she learned it from Winnie The Pooh ;-) I’ve not heard “Watcha Cock”.
I think this “Watcha Cock” is a nefarious scheme to get us Americans to humiliate ourselves. Well, I will not be sucked in!!
I will merely ask “How’s it hangin’?”
Much classier.
Fantastic Forrest–LOL!
