Bacon Time!

Standard
For MEEEE???????????

For MEEEE???????????

It’s the most wonderful day of the week…………BACON DAY.   You may remember that last year around the holiday, my cousin Bacon sent me a cool hat which was too big for me but my Mom wore it and held me to prove we received it.   Can you see what it says on it????  HMMM????

BACON!!!!!   This was, I think, a few days before Christmas – Mom has one of her silly Christmas sweatshirts on – it says “NAUGHTY” on it (like we didn’t already know she was on Santa’s Naughty list?????)

I did get a way cool item to add to my collection of bacon-related STUFF though this week from my buds at Tabbies O Trout Towne – check it out!   I wonder if the money inside tastes like bacon???

Thanks Tabbies!  You’re the best!   Always on the lookout for wacky bacon stuff…………….like these from my stash!

Today should be a great day – why?  Because the house got monsterized yesterday and even the YARD was monsterized.   All the leaves that were down (and we had a ton) are gone.  Mom and Dad did the final leaf pick-up/grind-up/pile-up for this Fall so all that noisy equipment is now STORED for the season!  YAY!!!!   We can only hope that the snow monster machine doesn’t have to make an appearance this winter……..Dad’s too old for that stuff.   He’s nuts (actually he’s just too cheap to hire someone to do our 250 foot driveway……OR…….that’s one of his favorite winter toys – the snowblower!).    He looks happy doesn’t he?    This is an old photo – we haven’t had snow yet this year……thank heavens.

VROOOOM!

VROOOOM!

As you know, Bacon’s little brother BASHFUL has been with us for a while now and I’m about to send him back home in time for Christmas.   I’ll share the last of the photos I’ve taken with the little rock dude first of next week………….he’s been a JOY to entertain.   Unlike the ELF ON THE SHELF NIGHTMARE GUY, Bashful knows how to behave, be polite, express his appreciation, and have fun!   But that’s not all………..when Bashful heads back home to Hotel Thompson, he’s going to be bringing a friend he met here with him.    I won’t say more……I’ll let Bacon tell you about her when Bashful gets back home with his traveling companion.

That’s it for now – I’m heading back to the kitchen because there might just be some bacon in my dish…………sometimes when I think I’ve had my share, Mom surprises me with MORE.   A guy can hope…………………..right?

Hugs, Sammy

THE BACONATOR!

    • That’s right Easy- hadn’t thought of that…….bringing home the bacon has new meaning with a bacon wallet……….they say money disappears quickly anyway but if it was bacon-flavored I’d certainly be eating my share !!!

  1. Squeals!! That hat is so awesome. Every once in a while, dad wears his around here just to get me. Ha! And Bashful has a “girl” friend. Wow!! I can’t wait to meet her cousin. XOXO – Bacon
    PS – I’m so glad Bashful has acted better than these elves. I’m afraid cousin. Shivers.

    • I know……we’re constantly on the alert around here with Elfvis. I do a house patrol about once an hour to see if he’s behaving! Yes, Bashful seems to have a crush on this friend he’s going to be bringing home. I must say, she has the most beautiful and sparkly BLUE eyes!

      Love and Hugs, Sammy

  2. Oh goodness, a memory for mom! No matter the circumstances, no matter the time, just…no matter, when mom was frying up bacons for brothers, Admiral came trotting out. Even when she was not well, it was irresistible to her. Me, not so much. (I know, treasonous).

  7. Sammy, I love the Tabbies bacon stuff…I wouldn’t mind wearing a coat if it was made of bacon. Mom says it looks like your dad is anxious for more snow to come as he has the snow blower out already. Dad doesn’t bring ours out till we get way more snow. Your snow blower looks like ours…think its a Toro but can’t be sure. Mom says dad got it for her back in 1980 after she had a hysterectomy…problem was starting the little bug–r!

    Have a great weekend.

    • There’s an amazing array of bacon STUFF out there – in fact I got another photo from someone today which I’ll have on NEXT week’s bacon blog. The snow thrower will just wait in the garage until it’s needed and we’re hoping it’s not needed for a LONG TIME! I don’t think ours is a Toro but maybe it is……..Dad’s had it for about 3 years I think!!!!!
