Roo's Treehouse: Once upon a time and a giveaway.....

Once upon a time, a long time ago and a little farther south, during a particularly sweltering summer day, a brilliant young princess..we'll call her...Roowina (heh), was praying for some cool air. So her friends loaded her up and took her to the lake, for a wee bit of tubing. Fun, yes?

Only, later that evening, Roowina felt a little funny. Uncomfortable, even. And had an undeniable urge to go outside and howl at the full moon...

.....and ended up at the hospital, muttering to herself and trying to remember how to count.....until finally, the next day, July 29, 1989, her discomfort ceased, and she was the proud mommy of a brand new beautiful, perfect ten fingered ten toed baby .....

Cody! Oh alright, that's not really Cody in the picture, it's Brownie (whom you have already met). But they have both been with me most all my life, though Cody, being a son, was a bit more interactive than my bear, most days. As a matter of fact, he was very "interactive" all throughout school, including staging sit-ins and petitions and letters to the president of a certain television station when they took Ellen off the air because she told the world she was gay.

And that was just during Cody's grade school years!

Alas, If I post Cody's picture (or tell you his nickname), a certain running joke regarding good ol mom living in a box in Cody's back yard during my golden years could come to pass. Don't worry..... he's joking of course. But just in case, let's all just say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!!!!

Rooty Toot Rooty Roo,
My little darling friend, how are you?
My internet yesterday ran away
so I was unable to come over and play.
Your Cody sounds like a lot of fun,
but you tell him for me, "Be nice to your MUM!" Hee Hee!!
For she bore you and fed you and clothed you too,
why I'm sure she even took care of you when you had the flu.
Happy Birthday dear Cody I hope you will see that life gets better and better once your past 23.

Oh Roo how fun for you!!!
Did you save me a piece of cake?

I wuv you!
xoxo Cori G.
