Golden Week

We did absolutely nothing for Golden Week. Just stayed at home most of the time, waiting for Mom to come home from work or to stop fiddling with the computer, and for Dad to finish his gardening. Wonder what's up with Dad and his gardening fetish. He had recently planted some flowers and a new pear tree. When we tried to go into the garden to investigate, he got really mad and yelled "Out! OUT!". What a bummer. In the winter we're supposed to do our business there, but in spring it's "out! out!". SO unfair. --- Hop.


Mom's been interested in something called homeschooling recently.

There are lots of books on homeschooling lying around the house and yesterday she spent 2 hours reading one of them in the garden instead of playing with us. Unbelievable! With Mom and her reading, and Dad and his gardening, we'll never be able get them to pay attention to us. She tried to read some of the passages to Hop but of course it was all Greek to him, the silly dog. I tried to pay attention to her reading aloud, but I got bored and decided to pick a fight with Hop instead. He caught me staring at him, giving him the "eye" and promptly took up the gauntlet and away we went! --- Mugi
