The Minnesota Farm Woman

I’ve always thought that a a milne was a genius. His characters were certainly based on the people he knew. Think about it…..don’t you know a Christopher Robin? A crabby old Eeyore? My best-friend-since-the-first-grade is a Tigger. She just can’t sit still. She has three projects going at a time and never stops.  She is always bouncing around from one thing to another. My husband is an Eeyore. He has a heart of gold, but my nickname for him (behind his back) is Grumpy. He never gets excited about anything, except maybe a ball game.  He never “oohs” and “ahs” when he opens his Christmas gifts, so you never know if you got him the right thing or not. My dad was an Owl. Always wise, always knew the right answer.  He was the one that everyone went to with their questions. He studied and read something every day of his life. Of course, my mom is a Mama Roo. Even at 85, she continues to worry about and mother my sister and I, both in our 50’s.  Does it drive is crazy? You betcha. Would we change it? Not for anything.  Now…..yawn….I think I will go put my feet up and have a cup of tea. I wonder if we have any “hunny”?
