The Days Wrap UP :

I started the day with a nice cup of coco in a Janvangogh cup. A perfect way to start the day. You can win a cup by clicking the cup on the left hand side and leaving a comment on her blog. I have to confess Betty and I spent most of the day playing a very addictive computer game called Jewel Quest II.We got mno work done. We visited no blogs. But then we are retired so once in a while it is okay. Quilly had the right answer including the name of the person buried there.Now I need a breathing treatment.

News from Pigeon Falls

-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Things got a little weird at the museum yesterday. A lady was looking at some things displayed in a glass cabinet when the White Rabbit gave her a swat on the behind. Nobody could figure out why the machine moved. It was set just to wink. Then they couldn’t find the control which ended up being locked in the bottom drawer of the ticket counter. Even if they had had the control it can’t be programmed to slap only wave. It is a bit of a mystery.
Nancy says that some people think Mrs. Trumble should resign as Mayor because of her part in the White Rabbit nonsense. According to them the Mayor should be above such practical jokes. Of course, she wasn’t Mayor when she and Tommy UK started the White Rabbit thing. She only became Mayor because nobody else wanted the job. How soon they forget that Tommy UK was mayor because no adult would touch the job. Then there are those who think Mrs. Trumble should get a medal because the White Rabbit was good for the town.
