PSA: there are some graphic pics in this post. I’ve got tons of critters in my backyard.

Got a little lost today looking for the bookstore. We turned around here. Had to take a pic first though. I guess while mom makes sure the kids are plenty entertained by the McDonalds Playland, dad can make a quick trip for entertainment later.
You ever get a call from your credit card company that you missed the payment date and you’re account is past due? I’ve gotten one or two in the past and they were usually pleasant.

My father has been collecting piggy banks & ceramic pigs since I’ve been out of high school. Some were gifts, others he found, some he had since he was little.
