My mom loves nicknames -- she calls me "Sparky" a lot ...short for "Sparkle", or "my little black bear". In fact, she has nicknames for a lot of people. And some have become quite known to the public. Many years ago, she privately named these two lobbyists who were opposing her "the chipmunks". She used the "the code word" only to one or two people. Well, low and behold, about towards the end of the legislative session, a person came up and said that the Senate President (Kitzhaber) told them that the "chipmunks" were just in his office!!
Then, she nicknamed one other lobbyist "Skippy"...and about a month later, was down at the favorite watering hole, and he walked in, and someone at the table said "Hi Skippy" to this man.
And Jim & Mike...we all know she calls them "the terrorists"...
Today, I think I am "stinky"...

Kennedy, we promise to bring you another pink cookie when we see you next --and we'll give it directly to you since these silly humans obviously cannot be trusted!
Love your beautiful landmark at the park. Greta wants to go visit and pay her respects.
Speaking of your big birthday, share the party 411 and we promise to join the celebration with a few pink cookies (maybe even one to share with your mama).
