Onward to Burple

Saying for the Day-Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."-- Rudyard Kipling

The poor littler word purple has no English word to rhyme with it. So on Thanksgiving Lori, Betty, and I ( The official word committee) set out to create a rhyming word. After much scientific research and lots of turkey we settled on Burple. Now we had the word but no definition. So this week we have made it the task of this blog to find a definition for burple.
This is what we have so far”

#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. Pity the ACLU lawyers. They got their injunction yesterday and rented a car to drive back to Pigeon Falls. It was a beautiful sunny day when they began. But then it started to rain. Then the rain froze. At the Dobson Creek Bridge they started to slide and it was as if somebody else was driving the car. They went straight into the creek. There the car got stuck. So they waded to shore and crawled back up to the road. The sign said five miles to Pigeon Falls but it was raining, they were alone, they had to go on. The road was very slippery and they fell more than once. After they had walked for what seemed like forever. They came to a sign that said six miles to Pigeon Falls. If the sign was right they had walked for miles and lost a mile. So there they were wet, cold, and scared. Night was coming on. That’s when old Herman Peabody and his wife Emma drove up in their truck. Peabody being the kind old fellow that he is offered them a ride in the back of the truck. Of course they had to ride with his two pigs Elmer and Gertrude but they would get to town. At this point the lawyers were desperate enough to ride with anything so they climbed in with Elmer and Gertrude . By the time they got to Pigeon Falls their new suits were not only wet but covered with mud. But at last they could serve the injunction. Except it was after five and the town hall was locked up for the day so there was nobody to serve it on.
At that point they decided to get a room at the Fly Inn. But when they got there the manager said they were filled up and besides it wasn’t safe for them to be there as some of the hot heads might decide to go after them. Roy sent them to Jack who might know where they could stay. Jack said that he couldn’t think of anybody in town that would take anybody as disheveled and dirty as they were. But for the right price he would get some pillows and blankets and they could stay in his sauna. At least they would be warm there and they could take a sauna and dry out.
So our high priced lawyers spent the night in Jack’s sauna.
They are waiting this morning at the Town Hall for Mrs. Trumble to arrive.

Today's Link- A wish for more- A lonely little poem
It was just a nice day. We worked in the basement in the morning. I got six more items ready for eBay. In the afternoon I wired the street car and that is now working. Betty is still unpacking ceramic houses. Then I photographed the eBay items. I visited half of my links and then posted my six new items to eBay. Now I need a breathing treatment.
