Ms. Bucky Attends Her First Claymate Gathering!

Saturday, April 14, 2007; Ms. Bucky (proudly announces) attend her first Claymate get together with some MNClayfans! Prior to this ocassion, she worshipped her idol from afar - her previous guardians never took her to a concert, or party event - and rarely allowed her to listen to any of Clay's CD's. But now that is a thing of the past! For those who were also in attendance, we watched proudly as Ms. Bucky lost her "clack virginity" as we introduced her to Clay's performance of Back For More at the Vermont JBT. (Yeah - you know the one-that's the one where he throws the mic stand down and tugs on his tie ferociously!)

However, Ms. Bucky was introduced to some other "habits" as well. Pictured below, PinkLady serves Ms. Bucky a glass of wine. Did anyone check on Ms. Bucky's age?

Ms. Bucky got into the spirit of things and tried to find a MNClayfans T-shirt in her size, but ended up settling for a MNClayfan pin instead.

Those cracks in her head really come in handy!

By the end of the evening, Ms. Bucky has made many new friends and was clearly head over heals in love with Clay Aiken. Or is that heels over head??

Happy Easter!

Today is Ms. Bucky's first Rabbit Holiday with us. And she got "into" the spirit of things right away this morning, looking for her Easter Basket.

Of course, Ms. Bucky showed a great deal of interest in Mark's Easter Basket!

But was really disappointed in Annie Carol's Basket! So was Annie Carol! :(

Then she participated in looking for all of Marky's eggs while he was still sleeping. And she found most of them! (That's what you get for leaving Annie Carol's Easter Basket empty. . . again!)

Ms. Bucky is really looking forward to Easter dinner with the family later today. She wishes all of you a

We're Not Getting Any Younger!

Since once again having "acquired" the long, lost Ms. Bucky, this thought has been running through my mind, over and over. It took over 7 years for my family to get Ms. Bucky back to me! And we're not getting any younger! What if one of us dies with Ms. Bucky in our possession? What then?

So, I think it's time to establish some ground rules before we continue this game.

Ms. Bucky Game Play Rules

1. Ms. Bucky must be passed back to the another player within a 5 year period of time.


2. When one or all of the players reach 60 years of age, Ms. Bucky must be passed back within a 2 year window of opportunity.

3. When one or all of the players reach 70 years of age, Ms. Bucky must be passed back within a 1 year window of opportunity. Family members would appreciate extra Depends and hearing aid batteries thrown into Ms. Bucky's carrying case.


4. If you pass away to that big carrot field in the sky, your spouse is responsible to keep Ms. Bucky in play. It is not an option to have her buried with you, as fun as that sounds!


5. Ms. Bucky shall be passed down to children of current game players.


6. If current game players have no children, representatives will be designated so Bucky Game Play can continue for generations to come! (Yes Donald and Diana, I'm "willing" my game piece to one of your children!)

7. Whoever has possession of Ms. Bucky becomes the keeper of this blog! No whinging. No excuses. Remember, you get to pass this on to your unsuspecting child!

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, that Ms. Bucky will keep
If I should die before I wake
My family I hope, Ms. Bucky they'll take!
