I am pretty sure that I have mentioned that I am leaving for The Schmenkman’s house in Virginia tomorrow morning at the CRACK of dawn.
And if you didn’t know that? Welcome, this must be your first visit to the Blob!
I explained all of the in’s and out’s of this trip in a post last year, if you would care to educate yourself.
I told of how the first 2 years of the Extravaganza, we were accompanied by Muggins Q. Mouse. That must be when she developed her love of shopping. 9 and 21 months are evidently a formative time in a girl child’s life.
As usual, she was a good girl, and she thoroughly enjoyed her visits with Aunt Schmenkman and Uncle Mr. C., who lived in North Carolina at that time.
This was the first year, 1995. When Miss Mousey was a wee cherub. She looks pretty comfy there with Uncle Cam.
CAM, look how dark your hair was!
Here she is in 1996. I have no idea why they had a ball at their house. You were SO blond, Schmenky!
Looking mighty comfy again with Uncle Cam. I guess he is good to wallow on.
They did not seem to mind having a Mouse in the house one bit.
This will be my 12th year of going alone. BUT, when our Guy’s go fitching in August, guess who wants to go down to the Schmenkman’s to go shopping? The Muggins Q. Mouse-a-lina, that’s who!
Hop on over to Capri Deb’s to check out other Way Back When-sdays!

Wow how time flies! I just don’t remember Mr C’s hair being that dark. But everyone look just about the same except lil’ Mousey. Have a wonderful and safe trip Capri K….give big hug to Schmenky too.
