I am LOVING it...we are off to the Finger Lakes for the day soon....the point of the peninsula of Keuka Lake...a stop at the Keuka Springs Winery, my personal fav, and then gorgeous lake views, dinner with friends and family and a long drive home late at night. Fun in the sun. Tomorrow is the fam reunion at the BIL’s.

You know, the odd thing is how right it sounds to say
“Toby Keith was on Sean Hannity Friday...”

I don’t know, but It’s impossible to find him....

Searching him out is how I found that little gem above.

Was he any relation to Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo? Was he a poster or just an icon?

I dunno, sounds like an antique automobile, the Shtanley Stumer but foreign words are tricky, maybe that’s where the Stumer Troopers got that “SS” thing. Could be.

Now if it’s slang you gotta remember slang is past participant of sling and also that former sharp looking acteress Jessica Slang, the one with the monkey in the movie, Kink Kong (this was before the Vee-ate Kong and all that) but not too much anymore. stumer!

Interesting! Xsjr’s class back in 9th grade found some Russian fairytale that was princess and poo or something similarly bizarre. Will have to look for it later. Handicapped bc I’m poolside operating via iPhone. Gorgeous day in Hershey not humid and nice temps.
