Ella’s Gone Island

Less than three hours after I rescued her from the sweltering mailbox, Ella was wrapped in a sarong like any good Island Girl.  However, jet lag took it’s toll and she fell asleep almost before she finished the bushel of broccoli I gave her for dinner.

I was certain we wouldn’t see Ella again before breakfast, so I only dished up two bowls of ice cream, then I called OC to the table.  Ellie beat him to the chair.  I had no idea elephants could run that fast or jump that high!

OC took the entire incident very well.  He likes Ella’s enthusiasm and zest for life — and food.

Quilly is the pseudonym of Charlene L. Amsden, who lives on The Big Island in Hawaii. When she is not hanging out with Amoeba, she is likely teaching or sewing. Or she could be cooking, taking photographs, or even writing. But if she's not doing any of that, she's probably on Facebook or tinkering with her blog.

  2. Ohhh Ella! You’re outfit is just DARLING! I love it! And it even goes with your sunglasses… I LOVE it! But Ella… you can’t take ALL OC’s food! Mind your manners girlfriend! If OC gets hungry it may become elephant vs. BEAR!!!

  3. I have a soft spot in my heart for Ellie, reminds me of the Alabama mascot Big Al. Hope you enjoy your new home.

  9. HAHAHA… She looks ‘divine’ in that Hawaiian dress, and I bet it gives her lots of room for movement as she runs to the table and jumps up onto the chair. Good thing OC is easy going.

  10. An elephant with a love of ice cream. And I love the sarong. She looks great in that sarong. Just her colour too.

    Ellie – try and stick to your own ice cream or your hosts may get a little tetchy.
    Just sayin”…..
