Go Fly a Kite party April 2, 2026

Many of us old-timers know the phrase "Go fly a kite" as a way of telling an annoying or bothersome person to go away or leave you alone because in order to do this, most likely that person would literally have to leave to go get a kite.

Well, today's "Go Fly a Kite" party, means we're the ones going to go fly a kite.  No annoying or bothersome person involved.   Why are we flying kites today?  Well, with winter melting away and spring beginning to "spring", the warm sunny days also bring windy days.  So we're embracing the wind and doing something fun from our childhood....flying a kite!

Hello Spring pawty March 26, 2026

 

Here in the northern hemisphere where most of us live, spring officially occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator and the hours of day and night are roughly the same.  This year, that occurred on March 20th. 

  

                                                     

We know mother nature doesn't always go along with that as demonstrated by the recent historic weather pattern that crossed the US causing blizzard conditions and record levels of snow in many areas.  But we are starting to see signs...our warmer days are occurring more often, seasonal birds have arrived or are arriving, grass is starting to green up and the early spring flowers are popping up.

So we're putting away the snowblowers and shovels, moving the heavy winter clothes to the back of the closet, planning our gardens, opening up the windows and getting outside more.  This week we invite everyone come help #Nipclub celebrate the return of spring.

Pi Day Pawty March 19, 2026

 

Let me preface this by saying it's all Mom's fault.  

What is?  

A little misunderstanding about Pi day.

See, Mom & Dad were having friends over for dinner and she was going to make a Southern themed meal - shrimp & grits, hushpuppies and Pecan Pie.  She never made a pecan pie before so decided to buy one at the really good pie store near home.  When she came home she told dad that the people at the Pie store excitedly told her that she was buying a pie on pi day! 

Well, that got me all excited too, because like all us anipals, I really enjoy food and if people were celebrating Pies, we should too, and I set the barktenders to the task of making wonderful pies.

It wasn't until later that I learned that they weren't talking about pies, they were talking about some silly number named pi.  And now we have an over abundance of pies.    So in the spirit of "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade",  life gave us pies, lots of them.  So to heck with celebrating a silly number that not only isn't pie, it isn't even spelled right (π), we're going to celebrate by having our own Pie Day!
