Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie
Introducing 111-year-old Trixie Decaphobia (bet you didn't know she had a last name). Never mind what that ridiculous puppeteer and storyteller Priscilla Howe says, Trixie is definitely in charge. Of everything. Forever.

Did you make the hat for Trixie on the right? I've always liked how it matches her vehicle. And how did you know how to spell gradue? (I love that I figured out that it might have come from gras doux. Maybe. Maybe not.)

Nope, I didn't make that hat, but kids often comment on how it matches. Trixie and I went hat shopping together at a craft fair in Maine many years ago. I forget how I learned about gradue, but I also suspect gras doux.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie Recovering from a leap off the chair at the Kansas State Fair. I think I needed a seatbelt in that bit of wind. So disconcerting in the middle of a story.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie The Irish Festival is over. Priscilla almost didn't take us with her. What was she thinking?! At that one, even though her shows were at 8 and 8:30, there were lots of small children still out and about.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie Something's missing. Oh, right, the cat. We complained about him, but truth to tell, we didn't really mind Joe Fish curling up in the puppet bag. http://storytellingnotes.blogspot.com/2009/09/joe-fish-1992-2009-rip.html

Thanks, Megan and Stacey. It was hard, hard, hard, but also really time. Strange now to be catless--and no, Stacey, I'm not looking for another for a long time (do you still have the feral mama under your porch?).

Priscilla, I actually have never advocated immediately replacing a pet. when my best cat ever died, I didn't replace him for 4 years. Of course I had a couple of other cats at the time and the elderly cat thing is so hard. I really only realized this once I had a crop of young cats again and I am watching the rest of my friends with elderly cats and all their issues.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie We used my new queen hat at the Busker Fest last week. Don't you think it looks a little ecclesiastical? I hope no Dalmatians were harmed in the making of it.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie How was I supposed to know it was dragonflies, not flying dragons? Fred the marionette dragon was disappointed. That baby tried to steal the spotlight, too. Grrr.

Storyteller Priscilla Howe's puppet Trixie Cheeky children! One asked if I could do a backflip this afternoon. That's what I get for doing one at her school last November. Does she realize I'm 111 years old?
