This past week, Olive went to Wednesday knitting with me. I knew I couldn't leave her home alone for such a long time without a bottle or something unforeseen happening ( She's gotten very good at jumping out of her box. I've come back from the barn several times to find her standing in the kitchen communing with Ivy, our corgi!) So, I fixed her a nice little place in the floor of the truck, packed a bottle and some diapers and away we went. As soon as I placed her on the floor of the truck, she hopped up in the passenger seat and settled in as if she had been riding in trucks all of her short life. While we were at knitting, she laid on the couch beside me (no furniture or floors were harmed because she was wearing her diaper--which she hates).
I took the picture at a stoplight by aiming the camera in her general direction and hoping for the best. In other words, I "Kinneared" her. Remember that whole Yarn Harlot episode? When we were having dinner with friends this past week, I mentioned that I had "Kinneared" Olive in the truck and Audrey in the back of my car. The two husbands had a hard time grasping the whole "Kinneared" concept. Not only did it take a lot of explaining, but even after they knew the meaning of it they didn't think it was all that funny. (Of course, I also had to google Greg Kinnear on my I-Phone so they could see who he was!) Men really are from Mars.

I know about kinnearing; the Yarn Harlot has enlarged my horizons in so many important ways! hee
ReplyDeleteOlive is aDORable!
That has got to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen!!! will you be bringing her to the Fiber Festival? (I'll volunteer to take a turn lamb-sitting). As for partners in crime, boy, has Ivy got a guilty look! Have you discovered what they were in to yet?
ReplyDeleteAWWWGosh. Now I want one.

If I were you I'd lock the house when you go to the barn. I know where you live ;-). That's one cute baby!
ReplyDeleteThat sure is sweet. Makes me "almost" miss having a bottle lamb! They sure are a lot of work, but a lot of fun at the same time. Looks like you have a new "goin to town" pal!
ReplyDeleteOlive is adorable standing at the doorway with her corgi friend! Glad she had a day out...and you kept her diaper on :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest... I am so darn jealous of everyone with their bottle lambs! I keep telling myself, One of these days. One of these days.... we will be able to get one of our own:)
ReplyDeleteShe definitely looks right at home in the truck! You'd think she'd been riding with you every day! Your Corgi is also beautiful - what a cute couple.

The kinneared thing is really funny! I saw a movie last night that he was in, and all I could think about every time he came on the screen was the Yarn Harlot trying to photograph him!
