My fine, five readers that have been following my latest blogs know that I have been spending my recent days trying to bring the last of the 3 Nona One-On-Ones – Scarlett, Savanna and Stella – with my youngest gran, Stella, to a final conclusion here on Casa Claire.
My peace and what’s left of my sanity depends upon it.
But the three little witches have been on their game, controlling the weather by invoking the power of Snow Moon and blocking the light of the sun
to confuse this already confused Grumpy Old Man.
When I reverted to my most lethal of legal defenses, a contract with the devil, the middle child – the dark one with the werewolf paws
(as reflected in her self-portrait that reflects the old soul in a young witch’s body) –
(Is that a knife in her right hand?)
Savanna stepped in to protect the youngest by snatching the pen from my hand with preternatural speed before I could see her move.

Years of martial arts training did nothing to prevent the little witch from snatching that pen. The master has been bested.
I had to slow down her video by one thousand percent just to capture the snatch.
And now I know why. Savanna wanted to make sure that both other sisters were out of the way so she could attend her non-sibling party yesterday. The proposed agreement would have prevented that.
Well, the result is that I never concluded the agreement. And that left me not only without a final resolution but with Stella treating yesterday as just another day at Casa Claire with her oldest sister Scarlett. Even though Stella slept over.
Curses!
Well, I was compelled to take the three females (wife and grans) – Savanna was off at the party – to breakfast at the Village Inn Diner in Loveland where they consumed construction worker sized portions of what would constitute a full Irish breakfast and Lisa brought them a swag bag containing one of the establishment’s internationally renowned Key Lime pies.
And then – since they could not seem to find a movie they both wanted to see – I was forced to take them to the Berthoud Rec Center to burn off some of those calories.
All of this while I was trying to finish reading Joe Lewis’s excellent novel – Black Ye’ii. Black Yé’ii: (the Evil One) – Kindle edition by Lewis, Joseph. Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
Surprisingly enough, I multitasked like a woman and got it done. Great book.
And the only way I could lure the two urchins away from frightening the other young humans through their above average athletic abilities was to dangle another feeding at the nearest McDonalds.
Then it was back to Casa Claire to wander the property and test the strength of the returning pond’s ice,
and await the drive-by pickup by Georgie and Savanna because they all had to get ready for the week and as always, were running late.
Good riddance!
I must figure a way of getting each one of the three to sign off on separate agreements that bars future one-on-one visits with Nona. Or just move.
Well, my dear five, fine readers, another toothless Monday is upon us. I have to figure a way to trim my own beard given that my barber extraordinaire, Anna K, has been laid up with recovery from a knee operation.
Otherwise, I will be forced to attend tomorrow’s Book Club event at the Sky Bear Brewery in Loveland looking more like Papa Smurf instead of Papa Hemingway.
Toss down your last caffeine cuppa and head off toward your individual contributions to the common good. Stay focused in the moment and Monday will be gone before you know it.
And, no matter what we get up to, individually and collectively, let us all do our very best to make today a great one.
