A Pleasant Surprise

It’s always growing a smile when an invitation drops into your mailbox. No matter if it’s a real one that clacks in the wind or one in cyber space with a ping. Although this invitation has come to me with delay, some hiccup along the Yellow Brick Road I guess, I surely appreciate the gesture. How can one refuse a nice cupper from such a charming couple of elderly ladies who seem to appear from an Agatha Christie’s novel. At first glance, that is, because what’s that mushroom cloud doing there in the background of their site’s header... it’s not the first and obvious thing to expect. Intriguing combination to say the least. Go to margieandednasbasement if you like to have a look yourself. A basement sounds ominous too, like the name Jericho... Wasn’t that the city which walls came down? Then I realized it’s Kansas we’re talking about: Tornado Alley, if I’m not mistaken? Basements down there are a safe place to hide, remember what happened to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz? The good thing of her amiss is that it gave us a wonderful story, and the believe there’s something await for us, somewhere over the rainbow. So, all things considered, there’s nothing to worry about. Thank you dear ladies, I accept your invitation....erm... where did I leave my red shoes, and I shouldn’t forget the home made cookies that go well with tea. I’m not so sure about that Special Tea though, perhaps a bit too strong to my taste. But I might try a sip to your good health...
