Good Things Happen to Him/She Who Waits

Rabbit!  Rabbit!  Boy howdy!!  You say this rabbit rabbit thing on the first of the month and you'll have swell fantastic delighted monstrously good luck all month long.  According to the Pez Family -- and me.

And not only that,  Oct. 1 is the first of my two birthdays.  See, I was born on Oct. 2, but my doctor (yes, we had doctors in the 1930's) put it down on my birth certificate as Oct 1.  I love it here in America.  You can say Happy Birthday to me today and tomorrow!!!!

AND, AND.....This is also when we honor our tragedian of the month.

This is the date we select someone to recive our Perfect Post, meaning the one b**g we have read during the month that is the one best b**g we have read.  This is the dream-child and brain-child of Momma K and Lucinda, who are dream-children of the first order.

My Perfect Post goes to Peggy of Kayak Paddle Tales.  Peggy is a fantastic camera-person who takes pix ( mostly of birds in Florida), and they are fantabulous.  According to me.  A truly great photo is at the last in this b**g -- a tree giving birth to a tree.  You gotta love it.
