<Do I hear yet another request for the ever popular Stuffed Calves' Eyeballs?> Hmm...I shall have to look that one over...Should be popular with those who like that folksy sort of breakfast china that is decorated with all the farm animal and barnyard motifs. Someone once gave me as a present some of that ware, only decorated with the ever popular loon motif...I mean place settings of it, complete with serving dishes, cream & sugar, etc... Not only that, but place mats and throw pillows too. This gift was intended for use at my lakeside summer cottage, where there are real loons, among other waterfowl... I had to put all this stuff out one weekend when these people came to visit me. There we were at the breakfast table on the screen porch one morning, the table just filled with all these loon pieces....loon throw pillows on the wicker, wearing my new loon decorated T shirt they had just given me, my guests wearing THEIR loon T shirts(even arriving the night before with his and hers loon canvas tote bags) Just off the docks were these loons floating and diving...real loons, in the water...There was a knock at my kitchen door....I excused myself from the table to answer it. It was my handyman showing up to deliver a small porch table he had just repaired. He was really cheerful as always, and being a native thereabouts always finds some humor in the ways that the summer residents attempt to fit in by temporarily adopting folksy ways. " Hey, who owns the minivan in your parking lot, the one with the loon decals," he asked, smiling his familiar smile. This, while looking directly at the loon print decorating the front of my freshly stiff new T shirt. " Oh, yeah...that..." I replied. "Visitors....you know, guests.." Whit's eyes twinkled. "Ah...from the city, huh?" He started to make for the front porch with the little table. I stepped in his way. "Uh...that's ok, Whit...I can take it from here...hehehe..." Best, cd
