Today's post will be the final one of StronglyWordedletter.com's second season. I want to thank you for your terrific support of this - let's be honest - retarded little blog. I especially am grateful for the many of you who took the time to leave comments on some posts. That really increased the entertainment value of this project for me and I know it did for other readers too.
Since today's temporary farewell ends on a Friday I couldn't leave without one more look at Tater Tot, right? Here are a few shots from a wonderful afternoon in the front yard with the best dog in the world and the best wife in the world too. I want to thank them both for allowing this daily writing distraction over the past eleven months.
And for the last Tater Tot Friday, here's something completely different too. I am posting video of her for the first time. I hope she makes you happy just looking at her!
Thanks again and I hope we will be reading or writing each other again sometime in the future. Feel free to leave a comment with a link to your own blog in case others are looking for something new to read each day.
Oh, for the fraction of you that visit ChristmasMusicEveryday.com, there will be no changes on that blog at this time.
Best Wishes,
Bean
Bean you've served as my guru in life (via your blog) for sometime now. I was so excited when Season 2 started and am just as sad to see it go. You inspired me to start my own blog, and I can barely keep up with 3x a week posting. I will miss you're witty letters, and random info/obsessions. Have an excellent time in Finland. Your fan for life from the bad place and fellow blogger at luckyme23.blogspot.com- Jess

Thanks Bean and the rest of the Baxter family.
Have a safe and wonderful trip. Don't go and do anything stupid now, like run into a tree or something. I hear your driving sucks in
foreign countries. So good by, toodaloo, aurevoir,adios,ciao. And if your confused about what I'm sayin, YOU QUIT DIS BITCH!

Say it ain't so Bean! Your adoring fans await your return.
Have fun in Finland.

You're going away? I never got to set up an exchange of my (still unopened) USB computer vacuum for your zipper purse. :(

Thanks for Season 2, Bean. Let's hope there is a Season 3 sometime soon.
By the way, my suggestion is to continue posting both pictures of Tater Tot AND Donna's great boobs. Just call it "Tater/Tit Friday" next time. Trust me, we'll all be happy -
Näkemiin!

what the heck? very sad to hear that your blog has a series finale. when will you be back at it? don't listen to what others say. it is entertaining!
Posted by: Michelle | August 30, 2008 at 12:13 AM
So, when's Season 3 start????
P.S. Oh, yeah, have a nice vacation and all that crap, blah, blah, blah...
Posted by: Stacey | August 30, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Have a fabulous vacation...kiss TT right between the eyes from me...let us know where your next blog will be, and I'm hoping you're back soon. Each day after I write my blog, I cruise the blogs...Frank first, you second, but on TTF, you beat Frank! As for Donna...sure do hope you asked before posting Her Bodaciousness!
Never can tell what I'll write about, so if you're up for an adventure, click my name to be whisked away to my daily blog.

Oh no! The summer of death got to Bean's blog too. Well, just like a bad horror movie I hope it has several sequels. Thanks for all the time you spent writing it, hope to see you back soon!
Posted by: Nicole | August 30, 2008 at 08:08 AM
Man, just when I was getting used to having you back.
Posted by: EditThis | August 30, 2008 at 08:53 AM
Let me just echo what everyone above me has said. Looking forward to season 3, especially TTF, stories of your animals, and the waterfront remodel.
Bon voyage and aloha,
LA

Oh no! The Summer of Death got to Bean's blog too. I'll miss stopping here everyday, sure hope season 3 starts soon. You know, I thought I posted this comment earlier but it's not showing up. Maybe the Summer of Death got to my comment too? WHEN...WILL...IT...STOP?
Posted by: Nicole | August 30, 2008 at 09:29 PM
first and foremost your wife has voluptuous breasts. Secondly, I very much envy your life. Every day I wake up to my dingy apartment that I share with 3 douchebags and go to a job that I absolutely loathe in a city that has more smokestacks than trees. I hope to someday live the kind of life you are living.
P.S. finland = winland

bean, wtf?? no warning that the season was ending??? how could you do this to me??
i have enjoyed your blog so much... i sincerely hope you come back soon!
TTF was my favorite part of fridays... your next blog should be completely dedicated to her.
much love! i will miss you much!
Posted by: cathy g | August 31, 2008 at 08:07 PM
Why did I have to suffer through TTF when it could have been SDM-F (Sexy Donna Monday thru Friday)? Okay, and go ahead add Saturday and Sunday too.
Thanks for this second go around Bean, it's been an enjoyable blog. Looking forward to season 3.

I will miss you and your critter stories.

Posted by: Erik | September 11, 2008 at 06:00 PM
Tater tot is absolutley scrumptous! So is Donna btw, what the hell is she doing with YOU??? Sorry to hear about Betsy too, I'm glad though that you were not yet on your trip and were able to be there when she passed!
Posted by: Laura | September 14, 2008 at 12:40 AM
"I hope she makes you happy just looking at her!"
