It appears that several readers of last night’s installation were unable to follow my train of thought. Clearly…. you did not get the memo about using your Ovaltine-Secret-Decoder-Ring to follow along.

Yes, it is true. I was writing in a highly secret code last night. So without the decoder-ring… how could you possible know?

Other folks mentioned that to complicate matters, they could not get past the picture of me…. in a Farah Fawcett Do, not to mention Mary as Wynette and Justin as a blonde. The mental picture was too complicated and grueling. Some complained of headaches, and motion sickness. So, by popular demand…. AND…. to cure all that ails you…… I give you this compilation.

From left to right, Mary as Tammy Wynette; Justin as Barry Manilow; Polly as Farah Fawcett.

The bad news is……. I cannot repeat the secret message I revealed last night. That was a one time offer.

The good news is…. or maybe the bad news… I’ll just ramble on about something else… totally unrelated…

…. and here it goes.

We built this home here in Ohio 18 years ago. Things are getting to the point where they are starting to wear out. You know. Roofs. Appliances. Outdated fixtures.

So we have been thinking of spiffing the place up. Now I am a “do it right now” kind of gal. Let’s just run with it and be done with it. But Mary is very methodical and needs to research all aspects before putting a good foot forward. Somewhere in between is a perfect balance.

At any rate, we have been kicking around ideas here and there. Especially for the kitchen. It needs the most help at this point.

Wellllll….. yesterday our refrigerator thought it was a microwave. And wouldn’t you know it? Me and the fridge got into a heated fight. But we’re cool now.

But mostly… I want to get some new dishes. So. I have invented crockery that comes to me when I whistle. My cup runneth over.

Oh enough for tonight. I have to go spray my hair with heavy duty shellac. Right after I jib  and taunt Mary’s head…. na, na, na, na, na, naaaaaaa. Yep, that hair needs to be teased.
