It is a shame that mosey is not an Olympic event because I’d be good at it. The alternative to hightail it is to slink away. I was wondering about Opal’s use of the word “my”. Are these cupcakes only for her?
In my house, if goodies were on a plate they were fair game. If you went after ones sealed in a container, there was going to be hades to pay. That meant they were for a specific time or event.

Some terms do require physical demonstration in order to truly understand them.

Preferably they hightail it to somewhere they can hole up.

I can relate to mosey, but not to hightailing it. At my age I seem to have a permanent hiccup in my giddyup.

This is what grandfathers are for – to teach kids the fine art of survival.

When Nelson gets a little older, Earl can show him how to truck on down the line.

Why does Opal bake if it’s not for her family? No one should be made to feel they have to sneak to get a snack….M M M M M

They are hers because she made them. So she will decide how to distribute them.

Truthfully, I never saw a hightail horse. Their tail was stringing straight back. Unlike our whitetail deer which flash you when they run in fear.
