Dear Readers! I’ve been away from my blog for four whole days! My kids visited, and we all whooped it up Vernon Style in a combination, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Spring Birthday, Memorial Day celebration! Gosh we had a good time! We figure it will hold us over until June when we’ll all get together again to celebrate National Accordion Month! (Can! Not! Wait!)
But Dear Readers, as you know, life isn’t all fun and games. No siree! Sometimes life is a serious business and as such, you have to get the most out of every single minute — which brings us to today’s topic:

And there you have it, Dear Readers! Now, I must admit, this post was a little weird even for me. I’m blaming it on too much cake while whooping it up with the family. I’m really going to have to watch it at next months National Accordion Celebration!
Until next time . . . I love you
Yikes. Not sure I’m ready to read this after the accordion dealy. 🙂
Hahaha! Better skip it.
I would opt for Oliver Twist of Her Neck or Hemingway’s less popular companion book, Farewell to Arms and Legs and Blood Vessels. But that’s just me — I love the classics.
Cheers!
Hahahaha! Farewell to Arms legs and blood vessels! I’m all for making it my last read! LOL!
Hey, I’ve BEEN to zero places. Trust me, it’s not that good. Pretty touristy, though I did work there during the summers in college.
LOL! Well I hope they bought a lot of TV Guides anyway! 😀
These sound very much like the sort of books Lemony Snicket would write. Ah, the delightfully morbid. 😀
I’ve never see Lemony Snicket but now I simply must! I wonder if I should read the book or see the movie. I probably won’t have time for both if I happen to be dangling and whatnot . . .
If these aren’t really quick reads and there’s time to finish them, then the hanger is doing a really bad job.
I have only two pieces of advice for the swinger:
– Dark sunglasses so no one sees your eyes bugging out
-Diapers
(I really don’t want to talk about how I know this.)
(Damned disney channel.)
😀
hahhahaha! Dark Sunglasses and diapers! (I know what you mean about the Disney channel. I think you’re referring to the hanging scene in the Apple Dumpling Gang if my memory serves me correctly.)
I would comment but i’m too busy eating whatever cake that was you had and trying to breathe
Cake! Careful Bucky that could be dangerous! You’d enjoy it more if you didn’t inhale it . . . budda boom!
LOL very true!!
“Picnic at Hanging Rock” would be one I’d read 😀
Oh I think I would pick that one too, Dianne! Especially if it has a lot of pages! 😀
The last one wins. That’s too perfect and funny and I want to analyze exactly why but I won’t because you already know.
I agree Mooselicker. That title of that book was just teed up there waiting for a swing at it. 😀
Bhahaha! You’re killing me, Linda! (No, not literally.)
“The Agony and the Ecstasy Only Ixnay on the Ecstasyay!” LOL!
My other favorite, “Literally Lord of the Flies.” “The most effective step-by-step fly management program to date.” Oh my gosh – too funny. Now this is how I like to start my day. 😀
Thanks for the early morning laughter!!
I knew you would like Exnay on the Ecstsyay! That was my favorite one too! LOL! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. They sure are fun to think up! 😀
PS – Wish I could join you at the National Accordian Month get-together. Drats. I won’t be able to make it. Maybe next year? 😉
