The Zippity Has Gone Out of My Doo Dah

December 3, 2012

 

The title of this post is something Steve said in a sermon yesterday and I couldn’t help but use it to describe my overall state of being today.   

I just finished a fun but tiring string of days with no time off as I prepared for our church’s Smitty’s Christmas Variety Show.
 

And today?  After a great show last night?  I am whipped!  Therefore, I am taking  a half day off to sit around in my pajamas, completely zippity-less!

Here are a couple of pictures from the show.  

Smitty—in person.

Our young dance troupe did a fabulous job on their number.

I sang, “Walkin’ In a Winter Wonderland.”

Steve  (Smitty) did a little dance with Miss Libby, a gracious, classy grandmother in our church who is just delightful!

We had some great singing . . .

. . . and the youth did a drama that brought everyone to tears.

And at the end of it all?  I got to go home with this guy.  (Oh, lucky me.)

So as not to leave you with that disturbing sight in your mind, let me close out with this face instead.

Summer is being spayed today and also having her teeth cleaned so she’s going to need lots of snuggling and TLC when she gets home tonight.

And after the week I’ve had? I will be more than happy to oblige.

    Janet, that Bucket List Entourage Line is getting longer and longer!

    And yes, Summer and I both have our zippity back today! 🙂

  2. Becky says:

    Lisa, yep, I’d have to agree! It’s quite a change going from a macho boy doggie to a feminine lovely doggie but we’re enjoying the transition.

  3. Lisa from Georgia says:

    That Summer is such a cutie!

  4. Ken says:

    Me too. am going to put it on my short list to attend one of your productions! I dearly love the whole Smith family!

    • Becky says:

      Ken, am I assuming correctly that you are actually Fran? (Or have I got my names mixed up?) 🙂

      We’d love to have you come and visit us for one of our productions!

  5. Mrs. Pam says:

    oh, Summer, you are soooo cute! sure hope all went well with your medical stuff today.,
    and that you and Mama are snuggling together.

    My church has a Christmas tree with doggy photo ornaments from Stray Rescue to encourage us to supply milk bones and blankets or even to give one of the pups a Forever Home.
    Our Stray Rescue spends $3 million a year (WOW!!!!!!)

    bytw, maybe Mary H. and I could lead a St. Louis Bucket ‘Listees’ Entourage to NC someday.

    • JANET says:

      Oh, Mrs. Pam…add me to your St. Louis bucket list entourage to NC!
      Becky, Sure hope you and Summer both get your zippity back real soon!

    • Becky says:

      Mrs. Pam, what a great idea to help out the Stray Rescue program at Christmas. 3 million dollars is a LOT of money; it makes me happy to know how many pets have been helped.

      And yes, you and Mary H. and some of the others on this discussion thread need to rent yourselves a van (or bus) and all head this way! We’ll have a bit pot luck dinner!

    Sorry to hear that your zippity doo dah is temporarily your zippity don’t dah. But after the week you’ve had, I can’t say I blame it!

    Hope you’re back to total zip mode soon

  7. Mary H says:

    On my bucket list – attend one of your programs some time, someday, some how – and how could you not cuddle with that darling little doggie! Take care.
