Cousin Jackson

Jingling With Jackson

It's Friday

Hello, I'm Jackson, Prudence's cousin and I am from Livermore, CA.

This is my very own car and it came all the way from New Jersey, way before I was even born.

In this picture I am driving it along the back porch, sorta practicing and getting use to the mountains.

I don't know what else to say so Prudence said to just think of a great sign-off.....

Keep On Jinglin'
Hugs,
Jackson

OH, WAIT......I know, I want to show you Mom's "Bad Boyz of The Mountains"; She has been working on snowmen for our online craft show on November 4th.

Taking a breather.....

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence ♥

It's been a p-r-e-t-t-y busy week so I talked Mom into taking a breather so we can catch up on a few loose ends.

I thought you would like to see my Cousin Jackson; He lives with us now and I asked him if he would help me write posts.  He was so excited and can't wait to get started.

He's a bit shy but he wants me to tell you that his postings will be called "Jingling With Jackson", isn't that a great title?

Back From Vacation

It's Funny Friday

by Jackson and Prudence
(oops, we forgot to set the time for midnight)

We're back.  Jackson has been so interested in writing that I decided that he needs to get in on the fun.  Even though I was away that didn't stop Mom from being..........just Mom.

Last Friday Dad took her to Green Tea, a wonderful, very popular sushi restaurant for lunch.  I'm not sure but I think ALL sushi restaurants have tropical fish tanks, and trust me, over the years it has caused Mom much stress, and for those with her - EMBARRASSMENT.  I did a post a few years ago about her really bad and genuine fear of fish (all fish, from little to BIG), she doesn't go in the water, no ocean, no lake, now not even a pool - bathtub? "well, there could be water pipe sharks" is what she says.

Getting back - so they walk in and it was very pretty, a clear glass welcome mat and a water fall on the wall.  That was the entrance.  This is what Dad told me:

"Prudence, we walked in and in 3 seconds she had the dining room scanned - you could see it on her face, she was looking for "tropical fish tanks", not a one!  She instantly relaxed and we had a wonderful sushi lunch.

It was time to leave, and I blew it, we were just reaching for the door and she mentioned how wonderful it was with no tropical fish tanks.  I BLEW IT -  I told her the fish were under the glass floor that she was just about to step on.  She jumped away, her face drained of all color and her eyes were the size of dinner plates, BIG dinner plates.  She managed to slide (yes slide) along the wall opposite the water fall and grabbed the door handle hard, like almost tearing the hinges off the door.

Once we were outside she was back to normal, she got in the car and was mumbling that they should have an area over the glass next time we dine there."

I kid you not, I am not making this up, or trying to get laughs, she is 100%, bonified terrified of fish.  But, oh, it's so funny.  Friends make fun (yes, sadly) watching her trying to get past a tank if there is no other way......Dad has almost lost it a dozen or so times, but she will never change.
In PetSmart she can't walk down the aisles with the tanks of fish, if you look at her arms the little hairs are standing up, she is a case, I tell ya.

One thing though, (Dad says the same) not once, ever, have we heard her make fun on somebody's fear, not even a friend who is frightened of butterflies.

Do you have a fear of something?  I would think that we all do, maybe not to that extreme, but fear is real, it can cripple you, cause you great stress, but here, lots and lots of laughs.

I am so glad to be back, I did miss you.  Jackson and I are making plans for summer camp in a few weeks, and he is so excited that he is posting with me.

Hi, I'm home....

It's Saturday

Hi Everbeary

Jackson flew home with me from CA, he will stay with us until we leave for Camp Good Bear in a few weeks.

Mom picked us up at the airport, and of course Jackson saw the wonderful rocking chairs at Asheviile Airport and wanted to rock for awhile.

On the way up the driveway Mom stopped to get the mail and there it was the premier copy of "Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher".  I showed Jackson and explained what punch needle is all about (but I think he would have rather been reading a baseball magazine). 

Anywho, we are back and I just couldn't wait to say "hi" and that I really missed you - tons.

Rescue + Adopt = SAVING A PRECIOUS LIFE

Hi Everybear, I'm baacck! Camp is all set to begin in July.  I've missed you but Mom kept me updated on what you were doing, but I missed writing to you.
As you can see, we are a rescue and adopt family, and we love the girls.

Guess what?  Or rather, guess who?  This is my cousin, Jackson,

 and we finally met while I was working at camp.  He showed up with his bearents to register in person and take the tour of the grounds.  Funny, we looked at each other and started screaming, and laughing, we KNEW we were related.  Jackson is from Livermore, CA and saw literature about camp, which by the way, has my picture on the brochure, and he knew we had to be kin.
Sooo, we sorta hung out together for the day, which happened to be the day I was coming home, and we began to plot an adventure.  With much bearsuasion, Jackson's bearents let him come home with me until we leave for summer camp, so we have been having lots of fun with the little kids, yes, AND the birds.  Jackson was a little taken back by Vlad and LV, but they just took him under their wings (giggle) and they are like 3 peas in a pod.  Two vultures and a teddy bear - whoa, that is traffic stopping.
CAMP GOOD BEAR
Wilbur will enjoy meeting Jackson and hanging out, so will
Sweet Pea & Jason, there will be lots to do since Wilbur is a Senior Bearscelor, and Sweet Pea & Jason are Jr. Bearscelors, Jackson is counting the days.  
That's it for now.
