We go for a little walk on the day of today – with the birds and the dog and the construction . . . and then, we find a note!

Then we invent something!!

Howdy Tuesday world!

How was your weekend? Mine was ducky – but – more on that later!

This has been on the “Pals made some stuff” pile for a week and a half – and – so – now I am sending it out into the world. It is absolutely – positively for older eyes to check out – so – don’t let your babies go and peruse – Also if you feel like you might be in a mood where racy things might get you into a knot – then also – you shouldn’t go – either. Thank you.

I’m using their words that they sent out.

My pals Ed Greene and Jeff Sims have been working on a new comic book series for a bit now… and here’s a link to the blog where you can download the first issue!

Link (just paste it into your browser if you want to see):

It is slightly naughty and strange and we hope you like it! And don’t be afraid to become ‘followers’ on the blog. Then you won’t ever miss Peony’s wacky adventures (and we can pretend that we have an audience…)

go comics! cheaper than movies!

Basically – It is a story about loves lost, random happenstance and unforseen endings that has really great illustrations. I was thrilled when I got the link, thrilled to go to the site and to check out my friends work . . . I really like it when people that I know (and like a bunch) get to make stuff.

Making stuff is a treat.

Friends are a treat.

Yep.

There is a fountain of goodness that is flowing into the world . . . and you should hurry quickly to take a sip before it disappears. Maybe forever.

I am, of course, talking about the absolutely tantalizingly delicious treat known as the Cherry Limeade Sparkler at Taco Bell. Seriously, I can see it in your eyes that you don’t even believe me for a moment . . . but I’m not kidding. I’m not joking. My tongue isn’t anywhere near being in my cheek. There is also not a single twinkle in my eye. I just love it that much.

I’ll try to calm down a bit – now – so that I can give you some sort of moderately subjective description of my (current) favorite beverage.

It is pretty much either a Sprite – or – a 7up that has been expertly fountained on top of some cherry goopy goodness in a clear plastic cup so that you can actually see the sparkling happening in real time! The cherry is sweet – but – has a tiny bit of tart, of tang, that gives the drink a nice balance. And don’t even get me started on the fact that nestled down in the ice – there is a wedge of lime glistening an luscious green . . . like a tiny emerald lighthouse beckoning me to drink more and more and more.

This is the best drink in the universe, at least until we explore all of space and find other planets with other drinks. I suppose that – then – there is the possibility – no matter how slight – that there could be a better drink out there . . . somewhere. Maybe it is the Classic Limeade Sparkler – which I haven’t had yet – maybe that is the drink that will know the Cherry Sparkler off of it’s throne – which is on top of a pedestal – maybe – maybe.

I mean – come on people. It is a mixed drink at Taco Bell . . . that has the added benefit of potentially being healthy (don’t forget that there is that piece of real fruit at the bottom). I would like one right now.

Act quickly – because on the Taco Bell website – I found this coupon for a free Limeade Sparkler . . . so now you can tell me what you think of it.

Goooooooooooo and drink!
