News from Pigeon Falls
The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normalIt is Monday and there is a real feeling in the air that something is going to happen today. Nobody knows what but something is going to happen.
Tommy UK is skipping school and has been practicing using his ring. Herman has spent a lot of time praying. They are as ready as can be.
Homeland security has sent a tank and eleven soldiers to back up the two men in black. They are all ready.
And so they wait for whatever it is to begin.
Then suddenly in the middle of the street the demon returns. He was here once before and he was defeated. But somehow this time he is bigger, stronger, and , if possible, more frightening.
He announces with a voice that can be heard in the next county. “ I will meet your heroes in the middle of the street at noon. If they don’t show I will burn the town to the ground.”
With that he flames out and disappears.
The town awaits noon.
Wrap UP
A nice day today. I visited all my friend's blogs. It took a long time. We had a new lawn person who cut the grass today. Now I need a breathing treatment.

Interesting facts Dr John and that looks like a great pool your grandkids are in.
ACK! The DEMON? The DEMON returns??? Noooooooooooo! I HATE the DEMON! Ooooops! Ooooops! WHERE oh WHERE is Oops!? I hope Tommy has that ring thing down pat! This is toooo soon! He needed mOre time to get used to that thing... some time to LEARN what it's powers ARE! Ohhhhh my... This could just be... BAD!
What IS it with you and vegetables anyway? Don't you know they are GOOD?! And good FOR you!
We wake up at the same time in the morning! Of course, Mine is actually an hour earlier...
I appreciate today's saying. ;)
Your grandsons look great.
You don't like any veggies?
I CAN remember the first film I saw - because it was a very very VERY big deal! I was going out on a DATE with my sister and her boyfriend! I had to dress up in my blue velvet dress and white tights and black patent leather shoes! And they took me to the Avalon! It was probably the most exciting thing a 3.5 year old has ever done! Other than going to the circus!
Funny answers to the ABCs. Particularly liked the answers to the letter P (I love the Q quote~ is a good one for those that want to justify certain behavior under the light of being 'moral'.
Will have to remember it.
I like "born under a window!"
I love the photograph and I had to laugh at the quote. Enjoyed your answers to the meme and also your story.
You are a very interesting person. I like your pet peeve.
I love the quote today - so true.
Your Dad's name is unusual. Where does it originate?
I hate all chores too.
Up at 5am? No wonder you do everything that you do and still blog up a storm.
Retirement for me meant I could happily become the night owl that my body has always demanded and I have no idea what 5 am looks like.
Now I know you better, lol I am also a VRP and also had snow and cold !
If you want to see a scarecrow exposition in Brussels, I went there to see them not to pose !
love the meme. love your sense of humour!
Enjoyed this - especially the Shaw quote and your fun romp through the alphabet. As for being born under a window, you could have looked up :-)
Great Grand Sons... God Bless Dr. John,
Now the homeland security knows all about you...lol ...and your dislike for vegetables...what a source of hate...lol
