Mama T and Baby T are normally good office mates. They keep to themselves, don’t share any of the confidential information they learn from time to time, and do not make a mess. I’m happy to have them with me. Normally. Lately, they have been grumbling because no one has taken them on vacation and when they got loud enough for me to hear them (Have you heard tigers complain? The growling and ggrrring is so distracting!), I had to do something about it. So I took them home with me over the Fourth of July weekend so they could spend some time out of the office and relaxing for a change (it’s hard work to stand there and wait for someone to take them along on a trip!).
First, they checked out our holiday decorations:
Inspecting the holiday flowers on our back deck.
Saluting the flag.
Next, we took a walk around outdoors (5 acres to roam around!):
Surveying their territory for the weekend.
Mama T and I turned our backs for just a second, and Baby T got stuck in a tree!
We visited the neighbors:
“Hi Mr. and Mrs. Gnome! Don’t worry, we won’t bite you!”
And finally, they got to visit some distantly-related family:
Lilly wasn’t exactly happy with the unexpected visit from relatives.
All-in-all, I think they had a good time. At least I can’t hear them talking about wanting to get out of the office any more!
So please, everyone, if you are planning a vacation or a work-related trip and don’t mind a small, easy-to-care-for traveler hitching a ride with you (you can take one or both!), please let me know. I know they would be glad to go!
ITS:Always fun, never boring
