It's SMOKIN' at Lake Almanor, California

Sorry I haven't been posting much on my blog, responding to comments, or visiting your blogs this week...you see, my trusty blog-mistress is on vacation at Lake Almanor in Northern California...where internet access is very limited...it is also verrrrry smoky due to the many wildfires in the area.....still she and her family are managing to have a good time, and she promises to be back online and posting all about ME and my exciting adventures with Claire and Willy in England soon...which reminds me....HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!

CHESTER & LAKE ALMANOR, California

CHESTER is a perky little town in Northern California where my and I chaperon spent a few days relaxing and celebrating the 4th of July with my "Ex." I have to admit, it was a bit awkward seeing my "Ex" again...especially since she didn't even recognize me at first! But I don't really blame her...after all, I have undergone quite a remarkable transformation these past few months, and her memory really isn't what it used to be, poor thing.
But as you can see, we really don't hold anything against each other, anymore.

During our trip, a huge forest-fire broke out in the surrounding mountains! Good thing I was in the area and able to lend my support to those brave firefighters! The smiles on their faces confirmed that my sheer appearance at the gate of the Air Attack Base really boosted their morale!

OK, so my chaperon may have been having a BLAST waterskiing...and yeah, she was looking pretty hot out there on Lake Almanor, cuttin' that big ol' rooster tail...

...but let me tell you, I was hanging on by my underwires for dear life, praying that she wouldn't wipe out and send me plunging into the depths of that NIPPY water!! What a ride!
WOO-HOO!!!

After that exhilarating experience, I just wanted to kick back on the beach and work on my tan!


My chaperon let me borrow her "secret-weapon tanning oil" and my "Ex" set me up with a great book titled "Sand In My Bra."


Do you think maybe someday MY story will get published?!?

I spent a lot of time hanging out...and enjoying this great view of
Mt. Lassenwhich has the distinction of being the only other volcano in the Cascades besides Mount St. Helens to have erupted during the 20th Century.
Impressive.

So, I think it's safe to say that this year, Independence Day really took on a whole new meaning for me...I love America...and I just love being a Traveling Bra!
Ta-Ta! (for now!)
