Twitterfy!

 

H.G. is stirring up the dust in Miss App’s parlor again!

 

 

H.G. dropped in today and took Miss Applesassy back in time for lunch.  He kindly offered introduction to a charming gentleman by the name of Samuel Morse.  Apparently on this day of January 6^th, 1838, Mr. Morse invented Twitter.  Of course in its early stages the device was referred to by the name of Morse Code.  Pity the previous name was unable to withstand the test of time, but Miss Apps assured the good Mr. Morse his concept remains just as much the social rage today as it was when he announced his texting invention to the pre-weebinized world.

If you are not availing yourself to the use of this tapeless tickering wonder, Miss Applesassy suggests you Twitterfy forthwith.

Miss AppleSassy Scores!

Miss AppleSassy Scored big today by snatching a pair of Bruno Magli’s for a mere twenty bucks!

In these troubled times, we must all tighten our belts, and do so conscientiously.  Therefore Miss AppleSassy is proud to have found a way to save a few dollars and support a local merchant at the same time.

She was just going about her chores, picking up a pair of shoes from the cobbler, when there they were; a lovely pair of size nine Bruno Magli’s sitting on his bench, basking in a little ray of sunlight, just begging for love.

The price tag said 19.95.  What!?  Unbelievable!  Bruno Magli’s are one of the finest Italian shoes in all God’s creation. How could this be?

So Miss AppleSassy put on her spectacles and inquired.  It seems, my dear Cobbler explained, that a patron left them over a year ago to be repaired and resoled, but never came back.

“Dey are a fine shoe Miss.  De Finest in da world, and I fix dem real nice. They like brand new.” He said in his rich Russian accent.

I of course took a moment to admire his craftsmanship before digging out my childrens milk money to adopt the little darlings.

They are a fine shoe indeed.  Comfortable, stylish, and eco friendly!  After all, by purchasing these peds Miss AppleSassy has avoided any patronization of big box retail stores that ruin our economy.  She has also helped a local business, and recycled too!

If this is what going green is all about, please count this spendthrift fashionista in!

Now I just need to handle that little milk money issue…

A Life Saving Exchange

A Life Saving Exchange

My fourth grade daughter was in CRISIS!!!!
She was supposed to memorize the poem “Too Many Amanda’s”  by Loris Lesynski.

She forgot the poem, and left it at school.

“MOTHERRRRR, WHAT am I going to DOOOOOOOO?”
She cried, (at eight pm Sunday night.)

“You could e-mail the author.”

Thus began a charming exchange:

My child sent her flowery, hopeful, pleading request.
Ms. Lesynski replied right away and saved the day.
Little Shelby wrote back, her dramatic and heartfelt thanks, typed in three colors of bold mix matched fonts:

“Thank you, Thank You, YOU’VE Saved
MY LIFE !!!!!!!!”

To which the author and poet, responded:

“Oh that’s great! I like saving lives with poems !!!!!!”
