For many, many years the White House has asked the states to send in decorations to represent them in the White House during Christmas. Apparently, I didn’t know this before, for just over a decade, they’ve done the same with Easter eggs.
Click here and then click on the picture of Mrs. Bush in front of the display to see the eggs from each state. They’ve got a wonderful collection of whimsical, pretty, artistic, humorous eggs and, well, they got Wyoming. Be sure to check out Wyoming’s egg. LOL! This Chicago Tribune article explains the egg-travagant mess. (If the link doesn’t work, go to the extended entry where I’ve inserted the full link.)
If nothing else, the White House State Eggs, are finally getting some attention…thanks to a crack up with Wyoming!
…well, a few of them that is.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are coming to the U.S. in May of 2007 for the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, Virginia. The Queen made the announcement Tuesday during her annual address to Parliament and the White House confirmed it Wednesday. This will be an official state visit, but no specific dates have been announced.
Her majesty’s first visit to the U.S. was in 1957…on the 350th Jamestown anniversary. I guess that means it’s a double anniversary; one for Jamestown and a 50th anniversary for her visit.
Tea time, darling; who’s got the crumpets?
Clarence House says that Prince might join the Blues and Royals in Iraq.
Confused? Let me decipher: The Prince of Wales, a.k.a. Prince Charles, who lives at Clarence House in London, has announced that his youngest son, Prince Harry, will be joining–after he graduates from military school–the Household Cavalry, a.k.a. the Blues and Royals, and that means he, Harry, might see active duty in Iraq.
Now, wasn’t it easier to say "Clarence House says that Prince might join the Blues and Royals in Iraq?"
It makes me think that I should name my house. After all, if it’s good enough for the White House and lots of homes in the U.K. have names…so why not my home? Particularly if my home will then start speaking!
Think about the possibilities! Maybe my house would speak to me:
- When I enter a room it might say: THIS ROOM HAS REACHED DUST TOLERANCE LEVELS. COMMENCE DUSTING IMMEDIATELY.
- Maybe it would alert me to repair needs: WATER PIPE IN EXTERIOR SOUTHERN WALL IS ABOUT TO FREEZE. PREPARE TO BAIL.
- Helpful hints might be expressed: YOU CAN’T WEAR THAT IN PUBLIC!
- Perhaps it would greet me when I come home: AND JUST WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?
Or, maybe instead of talking to me, it would talk to everyone else about me…
- AT 2:00 P.M. MONDAY, MISSYISMS DITCHED WORK AND TOOK A THREE HOUR NAP.
- MISSYISMS IS, OF COURSE, GREATLY DISTURBED BY THE PALESTINIAN ELECTION NEWS COMING OUT TODAY. (Need to have some reality within the humor.)
- MISSYISMS ENJOYED A DINNER OF ICE CREAM AND CAKE, FOLLOWED BY A SLURPIE KICKER. INDIGESTION FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY.
But, we need a name; something solid, something artful, yet authoritative…after all, it’s going to speak! I have a few ideas. Click the link below for possible names.
