This morning, I sent out a call on my Facebook page for any who might be willing help Susie as she hadn’t been out for a while, and all kinds of wonderful responses ensued. \u00a0This is the first, from the always delightful and delicious Ellen. (No, not THAT Ellen – but THIS Ellen is just as fun and funny!)<\/p>\n

Ellen decided to give Susie a girlie tour of her lovely boudoir – with the faithful Indie tagging along. After everyone was appropriately attired, she took Susie along with her on a few errands.\u00a0Click on any of the images below for a larger view.<\/p>\n

This reads more like a little adventure, thanks to Ellens wonderful captions (with some apparently told to her by Susie).<\/p>\n

Thanks bunches, Ellen – these photos are a riot! Can’t wait until I am there personally (perhaps over the summer?). No need to change out of those jammies – just get out the Scrabble board, call Lynne and stock up the bar! xoS<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow, Ellen has sunshine today! And wind!!! Thus our adventure begins\u2026<\/td>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BONBONS!!! Oh\u2026 bummer\u2026 that\u2019s not breakfast.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Somebody has a jewelry obsession\u2026\u00a0time to choose a necklace for the day!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OOOOHHHH sparkly!!! But a bit much, when you add\u00a0the necklace and a scarf. Maybe \u00a0we’ll save this for the next\u00a0foray to WalMart. Welllll… \u00a0maybe the small tiara will work…<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly, this is as close to Hawaii as we’re gonna get with Ellen.<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm… seems like Ellen \u00a0is also obsessed with scarves. \u00a0Let’s pick a good one!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OMG!!! This woman is still in her jammies after 10am… her CHRISTMAS jammies!!! Looking mahvelous, of course.<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellen, Indie and Susie –\u00a0ain’t we a fab-looking trio!<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Indie’s warmed up to Susie…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every grand adventure is \u00a0made better in a Beetle. Especially one populated by rubber duckies. And copious amounts of dashboard dust.<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Realizing the need to obtain\u00a0funding for the grand adventure (or at least gas money to get us out of Antioch), we found ourselves at an ATM. ATM in this instance stands for “Amazingly, there’s money.”<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we are cruising down \u00a0the road in the automotive wonder \u00a0named Rosie. She’s a bright red VW Beetle. Did you ever \u00a0think how difficult it is to sneak\u00a0inconspicuously through town in a bright red VW Beetle? You know \u00a0there’s a problem when the local undertaker asks you how your\u00a0car is doing when he sees you\u00a0at a funeral.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WAIT – are we buying more jewels???\u00a0Another tiara, perhaps?? No, just food. This is the grocery store that Elen’s family has shopped at since she\u00a0was about 6. They must have really good stuff! She\u00a0drives there to\u00a0take her brother shopping (he does not drive). Ellen’s a good bean; she loves her brother.<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Ellen’s brother’s house – \u00a0the one she lived in until she was 26 (notice I did not say “the house she grew up in”… \u00a0still hasn’t managed to do that).<\/p>\n

And so ends our special day together!<\/td>\n
