Greetings to all our fair followers! (Or if you'd rather, "dashing followers" pick and choose! ;) How are you all doing today? We are well. I just got finished cleaning carpets on my hands and knees with a scrubby brush. Can you imagine the songs I hummed while doing it???
("It's a Hard-Knock Life" [Annie] and "Sing Sweet Nightingale" [Cinderella]) Interesting proceedings hmmm? Anyway, that was extremely dull to read, I have no doubt. The Walker's mobile home is safely stowed away upon the footings poured for it. I hear that in 2-3 weeks they'll be able to move in! (At least, that is what is expected)
I realized that Sarah and I never did do a post about our bedroom furniture! :) Oops! If you care about it, tell us. If you don't, just know that it looks pretty, and we are enjoying sleeping on a real beds now! (Leah just said we did do a post about it. Did we? Gracious! I hope we didn't! If we did, just lock me away in a lunatic farm till I get over it! :) Okay. So. Last night, Daniel and I had a funny conversation that got me thinking: What if someone made a story entirely of the titles of famous books, partnered with a few other words, and some little ones like "A, and, the, etc."
Let me try for a moment and let's see if it works!
"The Scarlet Pimpernel, at The Sign of The Beaver, Kidnapped David Copperfield, and had Great Expectations to take him to Treasure Island. So Tom Sawyer and Pollyanna dived 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea To Kill A Mockingbird, but instead killed Moby Dick.
White Fang, The Last Of The Mohicans, sent a letter saying "As You Like It! Much Ado About Nothing!" to Emma who posessed great Sense and Sensibility, though she was sometimes blinded by Pride and Prejudice. Emma lived in Cranford during times of War And Peace, with her husband Ivanhoe. The Wives and Daughters named Elsie Dinsmore and Lorna Doone, along with The Lady Of The Lake, went Around The World In Eighty Days.
Dr. Doolittle, (a Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court) after much Persuasion wrote The Federalist Papers for Peter Pan. By the time it came to Middlemarch in The Secret Garden, The Count of Monte Cristo had sent out The Three Musketeers from his Bleak House.
Crime and Punishment followed. The Brothers Karamazov burned The Pickwick Papers, and wrote The Anti-Federalist Papers. It's only Common Sense that The Wind in The Willows whispered, "The Red Badge of Courage" to Oliver Twist. And that, Silas Marner, is The Tale of Two Cities of the Wuthering Heights."
So. Whadya think? That was so much fun! I just sat there thinking up names of books, and then when that was used up, I peeked into the back of a Bantam Classic book and chose out of the list of classics! Yay! That tickled me pink! :) -Rachel
