    Thanks, @barbult

    How are you doing? Have you rested enough to post something new here?

     

    I want to finish posting my photos before I start a new Richard story. I do miss him, though. My husband and I are distracted by medical things right now, too. He is having surgery on the 24th and has lots of tests to complete before that. I am having physical therapy on my shoulder for a few weeks. Getting old comes with side effects! 

    Thanks a lot for letting us know.

    Wish you and your husband all the best. Take care.

    These new photos are spectacular, as well.

    You have seen such giant objects and many interesting animals.

    That looks like a very abashed penguin

    It doesn't like to be on pictures.

    Thank you all for taking time to look at and comment on the trip photos. Sorting through and selecting some to post here helped me remember what a trip of a lifetime it was. It was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration trip. Your nice comments topped it all off. 

    Now, it is time for this thread to get back to Richard Haseltine's adventures. I'm waiting for inspiration. I never know when or where a new story will come from. It just happens.

    In the meantime here is another Richard Portrait if you're interested.

    It's the old DAZ Shark and Millennium cat.

    Thanks, yes it is a long time. I was lucky and got the right guy to spend it with.

    Yeah and he's lucky to have you!

    Congratulations. This 50th wedding anniversary is an achievement by itself. What a great life you both have.

    Congratulations on your 50 years Anniversary - what a great way to celebrate it. I'm still loving the photos too.

    (I'll be 88 years old when we reach 50 years so unlikely to be up for a mega-journey - if we even make it to that age)

    More is More

    Richard Haseltine: Furry tail hair extensions have not worked out well for me in the long run. I need to find a new way to accentuate my positives and wow the world. Lola has a large Fabiana collection. I'll snoop through her jewelry box and see what I can try on. ... Dang, I look GOOD! Jewelry is not just for women. Whoever said "Less is More" was obviously wrong. I'd better put this all back before Lola gets home, though. She might not appreciate fur on her fabulous Fabiana finery.

    Did the feathers get thoroughly pounced on and subdued before being returned to the jewellery box? Must have been almost irresistible. Lovely. Regards, Richard.

    Sorry, I missed that this was an anniversary trip. Congratulations, that is an impressive run; long may it contnue.

    Hmm, looks like a  visitor to Jabba's palace (though I am not wearing Leia's outfit, at least not the post-capture one).

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,630

    Wow, what a nice decorations.

    The cats are really flexible...

    I think even with your masculine comfort in your own fur, wearing Leia's gold bikini in public might be a step too far. I think putting all the baubles back in the jewelry box might be the best idea for now. Although the other Richard has suggested that you may have some fun with the feathers first. 

    (I've been trying out Fabiana's latest release and some that I've owned for some time, so what better application than putting them on my favorite character to render: Richard Haseltine. It's a win-win for me. Richard is always a good sport about whatever I put him through here, thank goodness.)

    I Need a Cake!

    Richard suddenly remembered that today was Ron's birthday! He ran to Bonnie's Bakery and got there just in time.

    Richard Haseltine: I need a birthday cake in a hurry.
    Bonnie: Mr. Haseltine, why do you always show up 10 minutes before closing?
    Richard Haseltine (to the camera): Well what is her problem? The sign on the door says "OPEN". I brought Lola's credit card and everything. Lola lets me use it for emergencies, like if I need a tuna sandwich while she is at work or something. Ron's birthday is important. Doesn't Bonnie know?
    Bonnie: I've got a fresh chocolate cake in the back. How many candles do you need?
    Richard Haseltine: a LOT! Like maybe 200 or something. I don't know.
    Bonnie: I don't have 200 in stock. I'll put on all I have.

    Oh my, this is interesting. You only need 76 candles!

    It's nice that you want to help celebrate my birthday.

    My few remaining family members continue to ignore me on that occasion.

    It turns out that Bonnie happens to have exactly 76 candles in stock.

    Uh-oh.

    Such a disaster hadn't occurred to me until you brought up your sinking feeling. But it would be inappropriate of me to hurt you, especially on Ron's birthday. I think you are safe.

    I guess the barbeque for the birthday party with hundreds of friends needs to be huge?

    Now THAT'S what I call embarrassing flatulence.

    Now that reply is of the caliber of one or Richard's responses. I got a kick out of it. laugh
