Monkey's New BFF

From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to all my readers out there for the lack of content recently.  All five of you.  I've been busy.  Too busy, in fact, to even write anything for today.  I did want to take a minute to show you Monkey's new cousin and best friend.

Monkey meet Rosalita.  Rosie for short. 

It was love at first sight!

Wordless Wednesday

Good habits start early, right? 

Monkey loves to play in the sink while brushing her teeth.  And that drool dangling off the toothbrush?  I think that's something only a mother can love!

These both made me laugh out loud, so today folks, it's a Two-for-One!

Believe it or not, I have had thoughts about the unnecessary dairy overlap...

Good Samaritan Stops Bank Robbery Attempt

Thanks to the right to carry in Michigan, this man was able to stop a bank robber.

It's time to thank a hero for stopping a suspected bank robber. The man stepped up to help protect his city."It's up to us as citizens to say hey, enough's enough," said Michael Farrow. "We can help out."

At 10:00 a.m. Monday, a man is accused of passing a note to a teller at the National City Bank on Woodward, and then grabbing the cash and running out the door.

Good Samaritan Michael Farrow saw him running down the street and decided to get involved.
Farrow has a CCW and was carrying a gun when he told the man to stop and get down.

"He actually thought I was a police officer at the time," he said.

Police arrived seconds later, taking 49-year-old Robert Lee Chandler into custody. He is a parolee, who police say has an extensive criminal history. The suspect will face charges.

Farrow's two sons, who were with their father at the time, also helped out.

"They recovered the money blowing down the street. So, that was their job," Farrow said. "I'm showing them how to be true Detroiters, true citizens despite if they're in Detroit or outside Detroit. It's if you see something wrong and somebody's doing something wrong, don't look the other way. You know, help out."

In exchange for a job well done, Police Chief Warren Evans gave Farrow and his sons a certificate of appreciation, thanking them for doing the right thing and helping keep Detroiters safe.

Detroit Police tell us that this suspect has already served time for bank robbery, and they are very happy to have him off the streets.

Tree Hugger

Maybe I'm odd, but I have an emotional attachment to trees. Not like I'm-gonna-chain-myself-to-it-so-you-can't-cut-it-down kind of thing. But more of a warm, fond feeling for those trees of my youth. The ones I used to climb with my siblings, or sit in while I read a book, or tied a rope around so we could swing to our hearts' content. And then there are the ones that have just always been majestic.

Look at that thing! For much longer than my entire life, that tree has been out on a hill in our pasture, just chillin. In case you can't tell from the photo, it is huuuge. I would need a ladder just to get to the lowest limb. And it's generally awesome. Even stark nekkid in early spring. I just may chain myself to it.
