"The summer night is like a perfection of
thought."
--Wallace Stevens
Hi all!
I hope you're all enjoying the beginning of June and
staying safe! Please let us know if you're in any of
the storm-hit areas so we can pray for you.
I'm having a
bit of a lazy summer day so here's another short one for
ya.
God bless,
Jenni
Ask
a Stupid Question, Get a Stupid Answer: The Summer
Edition Part II
(Yeah... So I pretty
much free associated myself through this. Kinda
more into the Author's Cut and Photo Gallery
today. Oh well! -Jenni)
Q: Every night there are a bunch of small, glowing
things flying around my yard. Are they tiny
angels?
A: Yep! That's exactly what they are.
And you can see more of them this summer in the hit
blockbuster "Honey, I Shrunk the Celestial
Choirs." Coming to a theater near you!
Q: I'm flying all the way to Europe for my
summer vacation this year. How can I get a seat
next to Andrew like that Meg chick did?
A: Simply tell your travel agent that you'd like
to travel with an angel of death. Then listen to
them laugh and laugh.
Q: I heard Andrew went to the Wizarding World of
Harry Potter recently. Do you think he'd go to
Disney World with me?
A: Sure. Just don't blame us if he insists
on riding "It's a Small World" over and over, claiming
it gives him peace after all the junk he sees.
That song will be stuck in your head for weeks.
And now it is all ready. Haha!
Q: So a bunch of us are going on an Alaskan
cruise with Andrew, courtesy of Raquel and Nico.
Since Andrew can change clothes in the blink of an
eye, does that mean he never has to pack when he
travels? If he doesn't, can I put some of my
stuff in his suit case? Not digging the two bag
limit...
A: Sure. And then we can
all have a good laugh when TSA opens his bag to find
it packed with your cosmetics and slinky cocktail
dresses. NOT! That is absolutely not a
Dyeland-approved way of making Andrew blush. And
besides, Andrew does pack and needs his own suitcase
for his jeans and flannel shirts.
Q: Does Andrew get sunburn if he's in the sun too
long?
A: Flannel shirts...
Q: Really, I'm seriously asking.
A: Andrew in flannel shirts...
Q: Really now... Pull yourself together!
A: Sigh... Fine. Yes, he can get
sunburned. Let the fight over the sunscreen and
who gets to apply it commence.
Q: Why didn't TBAA ever air
in the summer? Was Andrew too busy?
A: Yep. He was off giving dance lessons at
a resort in the Catskills. While there he met a
young girl named Frances and...
Q: That's the plot of Dirty Dancing.
A: Oh. Right. But it's fun to
pretend...
Q: Yeah...
A: ::sigh::
Travel
Bingo: JABB Style
So many of you might be doing some extra driving this
summer as you vacation. I created this travel
bingo card so you can have some fun during those lengthy
car trips. However, for those of us who won't be
road tripping, this card could be used locally or for
other types of vacations, I think. Enjoy!
And if any JABB member actually gets a bingo, let me
know. I'll send ya a little something.
:-) For added fun, you can try to guess which John
Dye projects inspired each challenge.
This newsletter is dedicated
to John Dye for making vacations a whole lot more
fun. Between Andrew County-inspired giggles, visits
to the South, dreamy moments on the ocean, and amusing
imaginings in Orlando; the guy inadvertently worked his
way into nearly every trip I've taken since the 90s!
May he know that, wherever we travel, we take memories of
him with us.
