June 24, 2011 – “We Have a Very Important Guest”
Transferring my “Zeebers Chronicles” over from M’Ply to Xanga – no WAY I want to lose these, lmao! It was TOO much fun!
~*~*~
I got a phone call from the Post Office yesterday lunchtime from one of the girls working there. “Mrs Varner, I don’t mean to alarm you, but I really think you need to come and pick up whatever mail you have in your box immediately! It’s quite unnerving…” She sounded so alarmed, we jumped in the car and dashed over there at once!!Well, what a commotion! Even before I stepped in the door I could hear muffled banging and crashing about, and an irate, funny sounding little voice (not so little right then, I can tell you!) screeching and a-hollering… Omigod! WTF??!
“LET ME OUT!! LET ME OUT!! I’M SUFFOCATING IN HERE!!”
Tentatively I put my key in the lock and slowly opened the door. Well, tried to! The minute the lock turned…
Out crashed ZEEBERS!!!
WOOT!!! For those of you unfamiliar with this little guy, Zeebers, or “Lil’ Z”, is the legendary Traveling Troll. He lives in Georgia with our good friend Tapewormz, and since November last year has been on a tour of States near and far, visiting Multiply friends for a week or so at a time and enjoying the different lifestyles, sights and sounds we all have to offer. Once the USA visits are exhausted, he’s even venturing abroad! Lucky little bugger…
But for now he’s HERE IN THORNVILLE!! WOOT!!
We collected the box full of all the presents he’s picked up along the way (which were strewn everywhere in the Post Office!), and brought him home.
Zeebers’ first view of where he’s staying, with us…
“Wow… all the way up THERE?” Yes hon… all the way up there.
Welcome to the Tree Farm, Zeebers. 
I’ll be posting a photo album of Zeebers’ first day here yesterday, in a minute or two… link will be added in my comment here on the blog.
We had SUCH a fun time, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to being Zeebers’ host for the next few days! (And many thanks to our neighbour, Roger, who has lent me his Olympus. My camera decided to go kaput on me today… bloody brilliant timing, not! But I can continue to record Zeebers’ adventures on his, while kicking mine all around the farm…

I LOVE that I can get from facebook to here with your link. thank you
@PattyM57 - Good to know it works properly Patty! It’s so my friends back home in the UK can read the blogs, even if they can’t comment here.
I miss the little z-man.
@joecool202 - we do too…. especially zora! hehe…. he’s still swingin’ it overseas in thailand or wherever the good stuff guy is, but zeebers will be coming home soon!
Dear Susan,
This is so fun. The best time I’ve had on the internet all day. Props to you. Lil Z is so cute. Back when I was a child (in the Paleolithic Era) we called these cute little guys “wishniks”. I believe I have a couple of the small ones from my childhood, but not the full size one with black hair I called Joe. I do have one dressed as a jockey I got at opening day at Santa Anita (a horse racing track) a few years back.
Nowadays they call wishniks “trolls” and the term “troll” has a bad rap on the internet, usually meaning people we used to call “flamers”.
Mr. Zeebers is certainly…
not a ‘troll’ like that, I see.
A dapper lad, specifically,
The guy they call “Lil Z” you see.

@baldmike2004 - I’m glad you enjoyed it Mike.
If you feel like another smile with Zeebers, my latest photo album, “Cats and Gardens and Pickles” (or something like that!) is a pictorial blog about his first day at the Tree Farm. I think you’d like it.

I have more albums back on Multiply still to move here about his visit with us. It was awesome fun! He’s still traveling too – in THAILAND right now, lucky little bugger.
