"Groucho"
is so
special,
and
so
perfect,
and
he
has a
little
story,
so to
speak...
As
soon
as I
saw
him, he
touched
my
heart.
When
I was
growing
up
and
someone
was
grumpy,
I'd
ask
my
father
"What's
wrong
with
that
person?"
and
my
father
would
reply
"Groucho".
That was
always
his
answer.
When I
saw "Groucho"
on
the
web
site,
he
brought
a
huge
smile
to my
face,
and a
wonderful
memory
that
comes
back
to me
every
time
I
look
at
him.

This photo brought a lump to our throats as Seraphim was especially named to commemorate our collectors late father.
Dear Maureen and Keith..
I'm having a good time, there's a great view from up here! Don't worry, I won't fall,
I have my safety belt on.
Love, Maximillion :)
"You
know,
Seraphim...that's
a
really
big
frog."

is,
Max...it
is!"

I have finally finished putting down my "turfs". And what a memorable ending it was. I had already made two trips to the Rona Garden Centre on Friday to get some more rolls of sod. At about 8 in the evening I could see that two more rolls would be needed to really complete the job properly. I figured if I went and got it, then I wouldn't have to go in the morning, and Saturday is always very busy at the Garden Centre. So I decided to go and get the last two sods. I'm almost at the Garden Centre, about 30 feet from the road that turns into it, when suddenly a car comes racing out of the parking lot to the right of me. The driver smashes into two of the parked
cars in his attempt to get out of there, swerves, screeching onto the street, missing me by a hair as I'm going by, and then he is RIGHT behind me. So, I pull over, figuring since he's smashed two other cars he won't hesitate to smash into me to get me to move.
He scrapes by, approximately an inch between us.
In the meantime...two police cars are right behind him, sirens blaring, lights flashing...I stay really still at the side of the road, they whiz by and then the driver that is trying to escape turns, not into the Rona Garden but onto the road in the opposite direction, and he smashes right into a red truck coming up that road. Meanwhile...3 other police cars have come from that direction, the escaping driver is now stopped, having smashed into another driver...and the police cars are all around, kind of in a circle....the police officers get out, guns drawn, and eventually apprehend the fellow, handcuffing him and tossing him into the back of one of the cuisers. All this, and I only went for my last two rolls of sod. Instead I got a front row seat in a police chase! Anyway....it was really unnerving!
After about 10 minutes of just following the old rule of "lie low and sing small", made for situations like that I suppose, I made the turn into the Garden Centre, purchased my sods and went home. Almost everyone in the store had gone out to see what all the commotion was, and I just wanted to get away from it! Came home, made a cup of tea and was glad to have come
away from it unscathed. So ends my tale of the laying down of the sods!!!
