It really hurts my feelings. I wasn’t invited. I was once again not included on the guest list.
When King Charles got crowned this weekend, I wasn’t personally invited to the party. Many years ago, Queen Elizabeth snubbed me for her big crowning event, too, even though I was one of her most interested followers. It just isn’t fair.
I would have crashed the party on Saturday anyway, but I couldn’t, because I don’t like to get up that early! Why would any numbskull schedule a party to get launched at 4:20 am in Earth time here at Kartar Ridge Ranch? Even the birds are snoring.
According to schedule, the King’s Procession, where Charles and Camilla will begin their route to Westminster Abbey in a horse-drawn Diamond Jubilee State Coach, it will be at 10:20 a.m. local British time, or, according to the U.K government, 6:20 am Central Time in the United States.

In case your global tick-tock is asleep at that time – as any normal person’s is – that means that the festivities are beginning at the ungodly hour of 4:20 a.m. here at Kartar Ridge Ranch in the sensible Pacific Northwest. As any donkey can tell you, that’s time for slumberland, not for carousing over British ale and fish and chips, and all those be-medaled military getups and the ladies’ fancy hats, and the ornate jewelry and crowns and things, and carriages that never had to face the demeaning public hosing of a car wash.
But here’s the thing. If they want to go ahead and have a whee of a party without me, well, fine. But if they think they’ll be getting an invite to my next Tupperware party, they’re in for some bad news.
It’s not the pomp, it’s the circumstance.
I, too, was not invited. I never am invited to those royal events. I am trying to reach you to set up a visit in July …. trying to do through Susy since it is her terrain. Any chance we might make this work? Hoping you are healthy and well. Send my love to Matt…see message below. Hi Susy,
Are you still using this email address? Hoping you are all doing well. Wondering if there is a way we can arrange a short visit this summer to check in and say hi. NO way do you need to feed us (as you have done – so kind of you but not necessary). Here is my question:
One of our former au pairs, Nina, is visiting this summer with her two little girls, Maya (8) and Mila (6). The two girls love horses and wonder if we know of a place where they might be able to pet horses. This would give me a great excuse to come say hi to you all and, especially to visit with Pat and Matt and you. If you are open to this idea, here are possible dates we could come by for an hour or so . . .
July 20
July 21
July 22
July 27 or
July 28
If any of those dates is a possibility, and you all would be open for a visit, I would come by with the girls and, probably their mom or dad. They are from Germany and they are adorable girls and very well behaved. I wouldn’t even tell them about the donkeys. That would be a surprise. In any event, let me know if it is something you would consider. Hoping you are all well and happy and that spring is bringing you joy and good health.
Clearly unwise to get up too early😊.
