Here is Cassidy

Hi... Happy Easter. Have a wonderful holiday. I like bunnies and I hope you do too. I picked out all of the colors you see here.

I picked these laughing rolling hooligans because they look funny

quote:

These are my dogs Resse on the left and Riot on the right. I am also shown with my doll Rebeca. I'm 9 yrs old.

At this stage my daughter broke out in an uncontrollable bout of the giggles and couldn't continue because all she kept seeing was the funny eyed dogs... Something about looking like they are going to turn something into something or another into minions or something or whatever... At this point I lost track as she ran away to the bathroom laughing saying she had to go.

Great job, Cassidy! I used to have a pet rabbit, Rover, a dwarf Australian albino. My dog loved him - that was many years ago.

We are always pleased Cassidy that you share your art work with us. You do an excellant job and we are proud of you.

Thank you Cassidy, the new Easter colors are beautiful!!! I like bunnys too, I hope you find alot of easter eggs. And you are even prettier then Rebeca....

I just got home from an early morning road call. So I was online checking in and Cassidy came up behind me to read these.

She asked me if I thought so too... I said
"Of course you are Cassidy, you are the prettiest girl in the world"

She was happy to hear that. Thankfully, no additional explanation was required.

I think she's got my humor gene... She said

Dad, imagine if she had said Eggcellent instead. Wouldn't that have been funny?

And then she hopped out of here... was last seen looking around the house for some Easter Eggs.

I guess I better go now...

Happy Easter. I always like the art work. Thank you.

Well it's Easter Sunday and I thought I'd check the Barth website before going to church to see whether there were any nice surprises.

Cassidy, you didn't let us down.....it's BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Happy Easter to you and your family, including the critters!

Hey Cassidy, once again you outdid yourself, the artwork is always just puuurrrrfect for the holiday, and us Barthmobilers REALLY appreciate it. Hope that you get lots of easter eggs, remember, don't give any chocolate to Riot or Reese, it's all YOURS....

Here's a giggle poem for Cassidy Easter Isn't Easy

I heard a funny bunny say,
"I just go nuts on Easter day.
I hide about a zillion eggs
And baskets tangle up my legs.

"I'm tired, my eyes are full of tears
And overflowing to my ears.
If I'm to work more Easter Days
At my age I should change my ways

"I know I must do something rash
So I'll start saving all my cash
Then next year, with a little luck
I'll deliver in my pick up truck."
—Grandpa Tucker

We belive that Cassidy should be commissioned to do a banner and or flag for the Milford GTG. Of course it should fly over the Grand Pooh-Bah's Barth. All who wander are not lost.

Thank you Cassidy for the Easter decor. I really like it and think the colors great. And you and your doll have matching outfits, that is so cool! Even the dogs eyes match the blue... We have a little schnauzer too, his name is Snoopy and he is 13 years old. He always tries to catch one of the wild rabbits that are living in our yard (and eat my flowers), but he never can catch one, they are way too fast for him.

Cassidy read all of your replies and really loves that you took the time out to write to her.

While talking in the "chat room" last night I had mentioned that my wife had run out of the house to take Cassidy her stuffed Bunny.

While some things in life just sounds like an ended sentence and then you move on, simple words don't explain what had actually happened.

Cassidy has had "Bunn-Bunn" since her first Easter. She was 7 months old at the time. Each year when Cassidy has gotten an Easter Egg basket she has taken her stuffed Bunny and placed her back in the basket.

Yesterday Cassidy went to a Girls Only Birthday Party for one of her classmates. The party was great and an impromptu sleepover was arranged. Linda went to pick up Cassidy and somehow she was talked into letting her stay for the night. This was to be Cassidy's first sleepover.

My daughter had a request... "Mom, could you bring Bunn-Bunn back so I can sleep with her?" Because it was a few miles down the road and Linda really didn't want her sleeping over anyway, she told Cassidy no.

Not trying to be mean, Linda was hoping that Cassidy, who has not slept without Bunn-Bunn since she first got her, would change her mind and come home instead. All she said back was... "Mommy, could you and Daddy sleep with Bunn-Bunn tonight so she isn't lonely?" I guess she really wanted to be with her friends for that sleepover.

Linda left the party feeling really bad. My wife had just witnessed, and contributed to, the end of an era. Not wanting to be the one to break the streak, she came home and decided to run Bunn-Bunn back.

Of course, this did not take place in a bubble... The short version: I had to hear what a terrible mom Linda must be. The long version was a mothers self inflicted guiltfest and a dad who had the "Deer Caught in Headlights" reaction.

In the end, all worked out well... Bunn-Bunn joined the sleepover and Linda redeemed herself. Thankfully, I was spared too.

The masthead that was displayed on Easter is a tribute to my daughters first Easter Basket as Cassidy remembers it. The blue Bunny you see in the basket drawing above is Bunn-Bunn.

Symbolism is something powerful when a 7 Month old remembers her stuffed toy from so long ago and takes it with her wherever she goes. In both scenes, from last year and this year, Cassidy made it a point of telling me to include the bunny part in her stories to you.

This year "I like bunnies and I hope you do too"
Last year "As you can tell by the Bunnies in her drawing, she loves them too."

Here is Bunn-Bunn enjoying Myrtle Beach, riding in the seatback of the car looking back at Cassidy and taking a Christmas Card photo. Each image will open to a much larger picture if you want to click on them.



So, another major disaster was averted at my household last night. I have emerged from this a stronger and wiser Daddy and an understanding and caring husband who didn't throw gasoline on an open flame... When in reality, all I did was try to stay out of the line of fire.

Sometimes, doing nothing is the better option.

Cassidy has her "Bunn-Bunn," Linus has his blanket, our daughter, now a grandmother of four, had her "Blanky" that accompanied her everywhere for years beyond recall. It was a trial to separate her from it long enough to wash the accumulated crud out of it.

It began to fray, and one day, mysteriously, it returned from the laundry half its former size. The difference in size had no apparent effect, and somehow, after each subsequent wash, it returned smaller yet. The day came when it was about the size of a small handkerchief, and it disappeared. We found it in the bottom of the toy box where it was allowed to rest for an appropriate period of time, and one day it disappeared altogether.

Unfortunately, that kind of parental sneakiness doesn't work with stuffed rabbits.

Bill, Thank you for sharing that with us. That was a very touching story, in fact so much so that I had Cloudy read it also, and then we went to a 7 year old girls b-day party today and I told the adults there (as best I could) about your post, they were also touched by it's sweetness... Thanks again...
