remember the monkeys that decorated my christmas tree? A repost for Iris Flavia who wanted to see my chimpanzees

(In December 2010)


(Harvey Banana)  What's going on?

 What are you guys doing in this box?

 (Hugo) We're moving to a new home. Wanna come?

(Harvey Banana) Of course! Move over, let me in.

(I keep these boys around for small visitors to play with).

    Delores; I would never leave them behind.

    Kakka; thank you. I love monkeys, apes etc and these are better than the real thing, because I don't have to feed them or clean up after them.

    Pearl; (^_^)

    Manzanita; they do don't they? And big smiles too.

    Windsmoke; gald I could make somebody smile.

    EC; Me too.

    Ok...in the thumbnail that first photo looked like an incredibly unflattering photo of someone in beige leggings! Oh, whew...it's just a chimpanzee climbing into a cardboard box. 😂

      Arkansas Patti; they are fun, but don't get played with much, no visitors these days and the kids I once knew are all grown up.

    Oh, help, I´m SO SORRY I am late!!!
    Awwww... Mielebaer is right here and says hi!
    Ohhh. I SADLY have no pic, but my chimpanzee was black, and my parents wrote my names on his feet when they sent me to camp (tiny head didn´t grow, though).
    Left foot "Iris", right one... well :-)
    His name was Fips.
    Awww. Thank you for sharing!!! And bringing back Fips to my memory, too.

      Val; they never have yet, they're quite obedient. I don't think Lola would be too happy if they did, she thinks that bed is hers.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Sunday Selections # 726

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...
