The Return of Ox and Angus

Remember Ox and Angus? They're coming back.

Spring break. Our house. Anger management. Cat sitting. That's what Ox and Angus do. And we are lucky enough to have them around so we can go away during spring break.

Ox and Angus are hulking big college football players -- you know, Iowa - football - football -Iowa -- who were recruited from Texas. When those big brothers first came to Iowa, there were some issues with handling their brawn and they were put on probation as in no spring break for them lest they lose their scholarship, which their mother forbade. She has a tattoo on her neck.

Fortunately for us, we know the religion professor of Ox and Angus who set us all up with house sitting. It's a win-win situation. The boys get away from campus with cable TV and a freezer stocked with Salisbury steaks for a week. We get live in house sitters who love kitties and do litter boxes. Well, OK, we pay them cash, but I'm just saying. They're good with cats. Our only rule is no girlfriends. We don't even make them clean the bathrooms. (Bob does that when we get back.)

All this to say there's another Charmer Virtual Vacation coming up soon and it will be full of surprises. Destination New York Citae. Speirs-o-Rama. Food. Food. Food. The other coast, as they say in L.A. (Baby). Visuals included. So get your bags out as we do not charge for luggage and the dates will be announced soon, but I'll give a hint in that it falls over St. Patrick's Day. There is nothing like Irish celebration in Brooklyn, New York.

Thanks much for coming over to the Charmer Blog. Stay safe.

With love, T
