TKers Take the Fifth!

[M&N]

Just checked weather---partly cloudy---81-82ish. Hopefully no rain!

 

[BKMETV]

It's still cool here but the sun is shining so I'm not complaining. My packing going fine...too bad it's not to go to Hershey!!

10 books to read before you die? I'll never make it!
Bible Nope
Gone With the Wind no - Saw the movie...over & over
Harry Potter-don't know which one they wanted but mayby all? Read them all more than once
Lord of the Rings nope but have the DVD (Viggo yum)
The Stand (S. King) Don't like King
DaVinci Code Yup
To Kill a Mockingbird Yup
Angels & Demons Yup
Atlas Shrugged (don't know this one) Yup...was an English Major but agree with MK...not that great
Catcher In the Rye Yup in HS BEFORE it was removed because of the F word

I'm working on my own stuck-on-an-island-what-book-will-you-bring? So far:
Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, The Giving Tree, the Poisonwood Bible, and Bridget Jones' Diary (British version, have to lighten the mood). I need five more....

Like your list better...I've read all but The Giving Tree.

 

[MagiKitty]

I'd like to go to Bird in Hand and Intercourse, from what I've read. So its about 45 minutes? Maybe we'll head there on Monday afternoon....seems such a shame to be so close and not check it out!

 

[MagiKitty]

Ev, you HAVE to read the Giving Tree. I give it to all the new Mommies. Its such a sweet, simple poignant story about loving someone through the good and the bad. I could tear up just thinking about it right now. Its a children's book, it'll take you about 10 minutes to read.

 

[M&N]

Yeah---if it's only to get a look and see you need to come back!

 

[BKMETV]

OK I have to ask: what is Bird in Hand and is there really a place called Intercourse???

 

[M&N]

It's still cool here but the sun is shining so I'm not complaining. My packing going fine...too bad it's not to go to Hershey!!

Like your list better...I've read all but The Giving Tree.

At least you are going...

The Giving Tree is a cute little book---if it's the same as I know. We had it in my elem library. Lots of thought in a little book.

 

[M&N]

OK I have to ask: what is Bird in Hand and is there really a place called Intercourse???

They are both real places. Overheard a tourist looking at magnets saying this isn't for real--it's a joke? We also have Paradise down there.

Got here as fast as I could but I see BKMETV saved you first, M&N. Hi everyone else who is up and at em this fine morning!

Thanks for everyone sending me well wishes. I think it's working. My tummy only tightens up after I eat now for a little while. Will probably be all better today.

Hey, whgrn, if I get us all out of the house could I get you to come clean my house too? I am glad you are making such progress. DS is sure going to be surprised.
I need to make a clean sweep in our house too but just the thought of it terrifies me. I can imagine the hairballs that lurk under and behind every piece of furniture. Long haired German Shepherds are pretty but gosh they shed A LOT! Next one will be short haired.

Okay, I hope ya'll are not getting tired of my ditties. This one came today and was so funny. I am very sure that my DH and DS would agree wholehearted with making all of DD's future suitors fill one out. She is really going to have a time getting a boyfriend with these two meeting them on the porch, shotguns and all!

I just found The Actual '73 Giving Tree Movie Spoken By Shel Silverstein:

[BKMETV]

Afraid I have to leave you lovely ladies. The kids spent the night at my sister's place and I have to go and pick them up...unfortunately I can't talk her into keeping them for a few more days!

TTYL

 

[MagiKitty]

Good morning to you Marie...glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. I didn't know you had long haired Germans! Wow! That is a lot of hair! Between my hair and the cats, the Roomba was the best investment ever! Hazel (the Roomba) sweeps diligently every day and goodness what hairballs come out of her!

Oh! I have to listen to the Giving Tree. Where are my tissues....?

Nephew and I were giggling over Intercourse. Of course, I have to take pictures there! That reminds me to clear out my SD card for this weekend....

 

[BKMETV]

MK - Oh and if you go I want a frig magnet from Intercourse. I'll pay you in Coffee Crisps!!

 

[M&N]

Love it Marie. My dad always said I had to marry someone who could support him (my dad) in the manner in which he was going to become accustomed. (in other words--rich) It never worked out!

 

[MagiKitty]

Ev, you have a deal!

Oh, the Giving Tree is so good....it was made the year I was born! Maybe that's why I have such a soft spot for it.....

marie, that application is so funny. We should staple the application to the babies when they leave the nursery....kids grow up so fast these days!

You have to stop along 340 to get a pic of the road sign. I'm not sure if the Kitchen Kettle Village sign has Intercourse on it.

We can definitely get you a frig magnet Ev. There is a variety! None bad.

 

[M&N]

I've got to get moving too.

I do need to know if Peppermint Patty got frozen though--- Maybe Whgrn won't tell.

 

[MagiKitty]

"And the tree was happy...." but I'm so sad! Its still so poignant!

Ok, here's the smut of the day. go to harlequincelebrates.com/WDfreebook. You can download free books from Harlequin! I haven't figured out which program I want to use, but audiobooks are great for long car drives! (I will NOT be playing this on my way down to Hershey, unless nephew is wearing headphones...hee hee)

 

[D&DDisney]

I qualified for Millionaire!

If I don't, some of you may have to help me sacrifice Edward in a freaky S'mores accident. That jerk just cost me a million dollars! Arrgh! I'm so mad right now!

Sorry that Ed and BF cost you 1 million dollars (insert Austin Powers voice here) Good luck trying to requalify. I promise I won't try calling you until Sat.

Instead of meeting you all, we are going camping the following weekend. The state park has NO water and vault toilets. They do provide picnic tables and a fire ring. At least we won't have to pay a fee. DH just wants to get his money's worth out of the tent trailer.

Wow...you get the prize for most devoted camper DL55. I do so wish you were camping in PA instead.
Kitty - you could also visit DL55 if you go out west.

Marie - Love your bra and dating jokes.

Good evening!
Bible: I keep trying but it's so dull.

Oh but you need to read Genesis all the way through. Had to do this in Jr. High. Was shocked at how much like a dirty soap opera that chapter is. WOW!

I'm working on my own stuck-on-an-island-what-book-will-you-bring? So far:
Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, The Giving Tree, the Poisonwood Bible, and Bridget Jones' Diary (British version, have to lighten the mood). I need five more....

I'd add The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Giver to that list. Very good reads.

I. It's not as much to see as it is around Bird-In-Hand, Strasburg, and Intercourse though.

Intercourse...

MK - Oh and if you go I want a frig magnet from Intercourse. I'll pay you in Coffee Crisps!!

They have fridge magnets???? I found my trip souvineer.

Only 5 days!!!!!!!
