Now back when we were three, the Riverbend Corgis posed for a Christmas picture wearing bells too. Of course, Russ and Shaker thought it was great fun, but Music was only game after I fell over the chair trying to get everyone to look in the same direction.
But my favorite, Go Red, Cardi moment does not come with pictures. (Trust me this is most unfortunate!) We (Cindy, Nick, Meredith and I) were traveling home from Rochester, MN in the trusty 'ole Winnebago when I heard a big THUD! "Holy crap,"I said, "What was that?" Cindy jumps up to investigate, and I hear a gasp and laughter. I swing my head around just in time to witness a sea of cranberry wine heading right for the front of the coach. I asked Cindy if I needed to pull over? To which she replied, "No, I've got it." And she would have, if that darn corner hadn't been right in front of us, and the sea of cranberry wine made a toxic shift toward the rug. Have I mentioned that we had a boat load of puppies with us--Shaker's litter? The little heathens were trying to "help", so the kids were enlisted to keep the babies on shore. I stopped the RV and grabbed anything that was absorbent--bath towels, paper towels, socks--you get the picture. CHAOS! While the kids kept the puppies on shore, Cindy and I were laughing so hard we can't see, but some how or the other we got the gallon of cranberry wine mopped up.
At some point, we regained control of ourselves and the only remnants of the incident were a bathtub full of pink towels and the faint aroma of cranberry wine.
While I am sure the American Heart Association would not approve of the cranberry wine for drinking purposes the entire incident still makes my heart happy with laughter.
GO RED!

ROFL! I still remember that phone call as we were heading home after the incident...you did what? Did the dogs drink any? Did it get on the carpet? What is Kathy going to say? She'll never let you come play with us again!! If we would have just finished all the wine, there wouldn't have been an incident! hehe Teaches us to finish up the bottles, which we're pretty good at doing now. ;) Too funny!! Thanks for the reminder!
Oh dear, remember too..this was the trip where my crockpot bit the dust. Thanks to of all things, Nick washing dishes!
Thanks for the memories and shhh...don't tell Kathy!
OMG yes, now I remember the crock pot incident. Nick was the dishes (now that doesn't get said often) while we were showing, and overfilled the holding tank. The back up in the bathtub drowned the trusty crock pot. On the up side the emergency run to the dump station got us out much sooner than the rest of the poor smucks who had to wait in th LOOOOONNNNGGGG line.
