Day 14 – Monday December 8th 2008
On Monday the Watermaker Workshop was in full tilt,
To give us some peace we let Tippy and Brandy play outside,
Now we could work and get things built.
-
While the family was growing closer, happier than we’ve ever been,
Tippy and Brandy were making enough noise to wake up an old sleeping hen.
-
Running around the snowman that the family just built,
They seemed to have enough fun to bring on a little bit of guilt.
-
Brandy was bolting and playing with Tippy’s last favorite toy,
When she headed for the door that Mom was opening,
Little Jack Screamed, “Oh Boy!!”
-
Mom went flying and flipping high up in the air,
When she came down, I’m sure Brandy would have something to fear.
-
The pies she made to freeze for our Christmastime trip,
Brandy took out in one quick high speed clip.
-
Tippy chased Brandy trying to get her favorite old bone,
Completely unaware of the redecorating she was doing to our home.
-
When you looked at Brandy she had a big smile on her face,
Like a little one trying to put her big sister in her place.
-
Mom was still on the floor, red-faced, surrounded by pies,
The dogs stopped dead and scared …. once she looked then in the eyes.
-
Mom broke out in a laugh of Christmas joy we all now know,
“Don’t worry Brandy ….”, she said,
I’ll get you back this year and make you wear a cute Christmas bow!”
-
We all thought for sure the dogs lives were going to end,
But I guess Mom’s heart now can do a little bend.
-
Our Christmastime hearts have been changing like this.
Maybe we will learn enough to spread some true Christmas bliss.
-
Little Jack started singing again, “Christmastime, Christmastime this jolly year”,
“Not getting enough presents do I now not fear!”
-
Dad spoke up and said after the Christmas pageant tomorrow,
We’ll start getting ready for part of the Christmastime trip.
Someone needs us early to get rid of some sorrow.
-
- Tippy and Brandy, Dad, Mom, Little Jack
-
P.S. from Tippy and Brandy – The pies were good.
