  • We're Gonna Go to Kokomo!


    Dan has posted a delightful puzzle that uses words related to Quiltnmomi and Daffodilious.  I can't think of anything more delightful than to be the subject of Dan's artistic attentions.  If you haven't checked out his site before, you are missing a real treat.


    Dan does things with and to words that leave me in awe.  So imagine how I'm rehearsing over and over the words I might speak to him tomorrow - because I get to actually meet him.  Is that cool or what!  I've talked to people that I've met through Xanga via email, instant message, and on the phone.  I've communicated with some of you through snail mail.  I wear with pride the label "Daffodilious' First Xanga Stalker" which I earned through resourceful use of a potholder.  Now I get to meet a real live Xangan in . . . real life.


    As soon as Tim gets home, we are headed to Kokomo to tour the Kokomo Opalescent Glass Factory.  This has been on my list of things I want to do ever since we moved to Indiana and I read the touristy pamphlets about things we can do here.  For once in my life, laziness and procrastination have rewarded me well.   



    It's Friday, and as you start your weekend, I offer this prayer that over the next 48 hours you will experience peace, laughter, and the beauty that we all need to re-create our soul for the coming days.

  • i now have that song (Kokomo) running thru my head.  thankssomuch...

    my daughter and i did the weirdest thing a couple of years ago.  the word Kokomo is one of those that you can "hear" the pronounciation of on Encarta. It's said in a monotone.  So we'd start singing Kokomo but when we got to the one line, we'd sing "way down in..." and then we'd click on "pronounce" and this man would say...ko-ko-mo...hahah..dang! We're weird but fun.

  • Sounds like fun....Blessings to you!!!

  • You deserve it . Bravo

  • Thats cool, Have a great time!!

  • Wow!  I'm so jealous I could seethe!  But seething looks bad on me, so I'll limit it to a grimace--though grimacing is in that frowning family, and you know what that means.  Geez!  I want to meet Dan, and the man behind his tremendous poems, and spend the afternoon with you and Tim.  Could there be a better Saturday?????  *seething*

    Shh, the kiddies are taking a vocab. quiz, and I'm commenting on Xanga--breaking the law, breaking the law....

  • ENJOY your weekend! Sounds like a wonderful trip!  I will have to do some research to find out about Dan, though.  I can't get the above links to work. 

  • I would like to go see that.  Looked at the page; beautiful glass.  I love glass.  Hope you have a good time.
    (By the way, all your links have one too many "http://" in them.)

  • I envy you, I still haven't met a real live Xangan.  I'm beginning to think they don't exist.

  •  oooooo... That sounds like a fun thing to do. I LOVE glass too.  Wish I could come along!  Have a good weekend

  • How exciting!  I've met one or two people off the net and its never been a problem.  Have a wonderful trip.  Tom

  • Sounds fun.  Have a great time!

  • Kokomo is in Indiana? You would never know it listening to the Beach Boys. They must have used up most of their allotment of artistic license on that song!

  • You and Tim have a great weekend!

    God Bless - Dale

  • Hope you enjoy your visit to Glass Facrtory and meeting with Daffodilious I haven't seen that site yet. Cheers Portia

  • Sounds like a fun excursion...planning to buy something?  Spot

  • Thanks for the links and beautiful stained glass pic.  I WANNA GO TOO!!!!

  • Beauty in glass is such a wonder!  We have some marvelous glass at work at the present and I am in awe of the talent involved

  • What gorgeous glass! I hope your weekend is wonderful.

  • Arrrghhh, Xanga ate my comments again.  Anyway, what I was saying is--WOW!!  That window is just amazing.  I am so impressed with how they manage to create such things.  I can see why you'd have a poster of the Rhododendron Window on the wall facing your big blue chair--just looking at it makes me feel calm.  It's so beautiful!

  • Properly I am supposed to state you must be absolutely proper like every time
