: : Yes, my friends and neighbors of Mohicanland, I received this LOVELY snowglobe via Whooping Crane Express (Motto: When You Hear 'Em Whoop, It's On The Stoop!) today, and my dear cousin from the far, far, deep, deep south, MMMMarcia, has enclosed the following note:
: : "Dear Deluded Souls in Mohicanland,
: : No matter how long I try, no matter how far I go in my descriptions of the sweltering heat in Florida right now, you frozen folk in the north PERSIST in thinking it's paradise down here, so I give up. Here's a little sunny something for you from the land where white sand beaches spread all the way down to the crystal clear turquoise waters, and where the only things raining down from the sky are happy little starfish. Keep the faith. It will soon be sweltering up your way, too, sartain!
: : Love & Doc M's Favorite, Kiss-Kiss!
: : MMMMarcia"
: : Isn't that just like my dear, dear cousin? Always thinking of ways to cheer up others! *sigh* What a SWELL person she is!!! I'm sure we will all think of her often as we rub linament into our aching back & shoulders. After all, it's not HER fault we have to shovel 6 feet of snow outta the path every day just to get to the outhouse! I wonder what nice & thoughtful thing we can send HER??? Any suggestions?
: : Graciously Yours,
: : Miss Marcia, Of Miss Marcia's Famous DownHome Kitchen
: : (Motto: Y'all want some fuu-uuuuuuuuudge???)
:
: Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Those are STARfish! I thought for a moment they were dimpled ballots raining down!
: That was very nice of your cousin to send us that. Maybe it will hasten the warm sunshine up our way, and thaw out my frozen butt from the outhouse seat so I can go in. I'm done now. Been down for two days. Can't get up. Sad thing is, nobody seems to miss me.
: If your cousin is of a mind to, and as long as she is sending nice things up to the frozen north, how about asking her to send an industrial size, Black and Decker, Propane Gas Heat Gun my way so I can get off this damn seat?????
: And maybe when I am free, I can thaw out MY cousin who thought it would be fun to take a dip in Doc Mary's abandoned cistern.
: Poor guy. all you can see is his blue face under his pointy red hat - the rest is locked in the ice.
