Little Orphant Annie, by James Whitcomb Riley...My Uncle Bill use to read this to me.

Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay,
An' wash the cups an' saucers up an' brush the crumbs away,
An' shoo the chickens off the porch, An' dust the hearth, an' sweep,
An' make the fire, an' bake the bread, an' earn her board-an'-keep;
An' all us other childern, when the supper-things is done,
We set around the kitch fire an' has the mostest fun
A-list'nin' to the witch-tales 'at Annie tells about,
An' the Gobble-uns 'at gits you
Ef you
Don't
Watch
Out!

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Getting things ready to pack up for our weekend trip to PA. Our daughter-In-Law's baby shower is Saturday.
Our arrangments we made last month fell throw.....GRRRRR.....I don't know why people can't come right out and tell Ya, instead of ignoring you. It's not like we are asking for the money she owes us, or care about the three months her and two daughters lived with us for nothing. Just another family member we can't count on....Oh well!
Now to find someone to keep Princess and Angel and get a motel for us. Boy do I ever hate to make last minute arrangments!!!
