Oops!

Holly received a lovely, handwritten note thanking her for her recent tour at Elon College.



Unfortunately, she never made the tour. We'd registered but changed plans at the last minute when her stomach began acting up during our trip last month to North Carolina. I tried to "unregister" online, but it was after the tour, and the website wouldn't permit it at that time.

As an aside, I'm reading a wonderful little book about this school, and I'd love for her to take the opportunity to tour it again. Really, this time.

Promises, promises

When we came home, this flyer was in our mailbox.



Such a titillating company name!

And I thought it was such a nice neighborhood . . . kind of makes you wonder about those "Extra Services."

Souveniers

(sic.)

So many little shops along the Boardwalk! So many opportunities to ponder what people are thinking!

I would have thought it was a club, "Dads Against Daughters Dating," but technically, this one isn't wrong, as long as you have just one daughter.


One would choose doggie scented Bandz bracelet why?


What exactly does a princess smell like?


Oh, yes. I so agree!

WHAT?!?!

This has been a great week; I am easily amused.

I recently won Cindy's copy of Ted Dekker's new non-fiction book Tea With Hezbollah. I haven't started it yet, but I looked over the book jacket.

(I added that box with my photo editor.)

This professor finds the book "irreverent"? Disrespectful? Mocking? Sacrilegious? I don't think so.

I guess he meant "relevant."

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

No excuses for illiteracy

The Library of Virginia provided free materials for use in the summer reading program. Obviously, the state's budget eliminated all proofreader positions. In fact, I think it eliminated all positions requiring literacy.

This is a "book review" form that the child fills out when finishing a book.



Sorta? SORTA?????

This is the back of the form.



I can only guess there's a period shortage too.

This is not a joke. We received 1000 of these. We're not using them.

Seriously.

Just HOW did they mess that up?

Trevor's been reading through the RangeR's Apprentice books. He's on book five; apparently they changed the name of the series somewhere along the way . . .

Funny things you find in the street

SOMEONE is walking around Roanoke with only 9 fingernails.



Trevor spotted this, I guess because he's a few inches lower to the ground than I am (at least for a short time). The funny thing is that he even knew what it was. I'm not sure that we know anyone who wears fake nails.

While I'd love to have nails like these, I don't, and it's not mine!

Pardon me, your slip is showing

It may be wise to order only items that you can pronounce.
