Memorial Day, Build More Forests!

My Dears,  
   I've re-re-recycled a Memorial Day post from years prior. Apologies, but sometimes I said it better then than I could now. Oftentimes, I don't know what to say about something so overwhelmingly tragic as war.
    And how can we possibly begin to adequately thank and pay tribute to our military? We can't.
    I did give it thought as a child, though.
                                        My favorite line in the above poem is: "I think more forests should be built."

Nephew Jeremy, age 16 mos.

May it be a meaningful, peaceful and safe Memorial Day.

With gratitude and blessings to all who have served and will serve our country, and to their loved ones, for all time.

Royal Tea and Sneak Peek

Hi, My Sillies,
Everybody's talking about it - the Royal Wedding. Her Royal Highness got the inside story and semi-scandalous pictures for us, Janie Junebug delivered interesting and hilarious fun facts, and here's my favorite photo from the entire event. It begs for captions, because the 96 year old King appears to be feeling rather amorous towards his 92 year old wife. Don't ya think?

"What do you say we partake in a scuffle brew biscuit-pussycat Yorkshire atop tonight, my sweet? The British are due to be coming! Yes?" *Wink. Gaze.*
       "You stay away from my chastity belt, dirty old man. That's saved for my beloved horse Sir Loin, dead you know."  Oh, that's gross. I'm sorry, but who knew she was so perverted? Certainly not I.

   I happened to be awake at the time of the wedding. Really. I didn't plan it. (I actually had a sudden worry related to my book, but that's been worked out.) Anyway, I caught glimpses of the beautiful bride and her fabulously charming husband. Then I went back to sleep.
   In dreamland, I had Royal Tea with the Duchess, Meghan Markle herself. She was very sweet and warm, folks. It's not an act! She smiled at me, though we didn't have time to talk. But I was in! I was the envy of all, because I got to meet her. But then I was lost in a shopping mall with ritzy stores, taking all sorts of elevators, escalators and stairs, to find my way out back to the hotel. Next thing in front of me was a state map of...Washington. Hm. How'd I get there?
   At any rate, I awoke with a warm and cozy feeling. Thank you for the tea, Princess Meghan. It was an honor. You're as beautiful as you seem. You got a cute husband too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for some final clues and Sneak Peeking, my soon-to-be latest. Rules in previous posts. Join the fun. It's not too late.

Hint #5: It's political satire.

What word is missing from the story's first line?  From _ _ _ _ _ _ arose a King.

    Hint #6, the back cover.  

What's the title?


Have fun. Play along.
Be well and take care of your silly selves.

Sneak Peek Guessing Game & Book Giveaway

Hi, My Dear Sillies.
   Here's another sneak peek of my nearly newborn babe. Expected date of Delivery: June 4th. Expected Size: 6 by 9 inches and very slender (poor thing. I won't be breastfeeding.). Sex: None. Well, perhaps implied, but it's family friendly and G-Rated. Colorful and poetic too.
   This shenanigan is thanks to friend and phenomenal artist, Steve Ferchaud.

   Hint 1: It's for mature children and immature adults. 

   Hint 2: There's a cannon in the tale.

   Hint 3:  It's an adaptation of one of my favorite children's books.

  

   The person with the most correct answers will win a free autographed copy. I'll refrain from stating whether you're right or wrong, until we get to the end.  It's okay if more than one of you are correct. But the first who's right gets an extra-credit point. [Apologies to the very few people who can't play along, because you already know the particulars.] I might be inclined to award points based on creativity alone.

       What just happened?

                                                    What instrument is this part of?

Hint 4 and (FAKE) fun fact:
Remember this creature? Here's his (FAKE) quote on the back cover:
"Phew! It's over! I didn't get paid nearly enough for this gig."

Play! Be silly!

Happy Friday and weekend.

Love ya!

Questions:

Who are these women?

What do they want?

Why is this woman posed this way?

Have at it! Be silly, and be good to yourselves.

MORE FUN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recently portrayed Annie Bidwell, Chico's Founding Mother, in our Pioneer Day Parade. 

Here I am in front of the 1921 Model T. - my ride for the parade! It was exhilarating!  

 Isn't she a beauty? Fun facts about this babe: The driver's door doesn't open. It was designed that way - to save on costs. In 1921, the less wealthy drove this; it cost $350. It's a very smooth ride. I sat on top of the back seat, along with Mr. Bidwell. We were like the Queen and King of the parade.
