Revised fairy tale

Thanks Tina!!

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were
little:


Once upon a time
~~~~~~~~
in a land far away,
~~~~~~~~
a beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess
~~~~~~~~
happened upon a frog as she sat
contemplating ecological issues
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle.
~~~~~~~~

The frog hopped into the princess' lap
and said: " Elegant Lady,
I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
~~~~~~~~

One kiss from you, however,
and I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am
~~~~~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry
~~~~~~~~
and set up housekeeping in your castle
~~~~~~~~
with my mother,
~~~~~~~~
where you can prepare my meals,
~~~~~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children,
~~~~~~~~
and forever feel

grateful and happy doing so. "
~~~~~~~~
That night,
~~~~~~~~
as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~~~~~
on lightly sauteed frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine
~~~~~~~
and onion cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~
I don't freakin think so.

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little angel!

Woo hoo for me!

The last Wednesday of the month is half price day at one of the local thrift stores. I used to shop there all the time but hadn't in a couple of years. Well all my jeans are little more than rags and we're trying to watch every penny so off to the thrift store I went. I got 3 pair of blue jeans, 2 looked new, the other pair nicely worn, 1 pair of black jeans, like new, 2 pair of cargo pants both in great condition and a cordorouy shirt all for only $9!!!!!

Wow!

These are some family pics from the early '90's. I'd forgotten just how heavy I was back then!

What a cutie! David at age 2

Tomorrow some pictures of a really chunky monkey!
