ReplyDeleteMy DH and I were singing that same Band Aid in the car the other night and my girls thought we made up the song. LOL Um....no....Then, it came on the radio on Christmas Day and they finally believed us.
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it!
I just love Bert.
ReplyDeleteBoth great choices.

Nicely done MMs. Love the pun.
ReplyDeleteI went to school at Brighton Beach only it's here in the states, in Brooklyn, NY

Very clever, Madeleine.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
Michael
Thanks for the laugh, Madeleine! I love the pun.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.

Galen
Those were great!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was once a victim of one of those successful bombings and it was such a spectacular hit (I was in my kitchen whites and too "unclean" to return to work), that I've no doubt my story lives on in pigeon folklore.
ReplyDeleteSpeak pideon no prob fo me, sista. I stay Hawaii t'ree year.
I think your captions for the photo are adorable, the first one better than the second.
ReplyDeleteI love anything that includes Sesame Street or the Muppets.
The Feed the World song brought back memories and tears (can you believe the hair, too). I can't believe how long ago that was and how appropriate it still is for Africa and many other parts of the world. Thank you for reminding us.
Looking forward to your selections next year. HUGS and happy new year to your family!
Ha - those tall tails of guano bombings
