A barn dance with candy sounds like a dandy time! Our golf caddy is planning to meet his sweetheart there.
CADDY1 -
Oh what fun we will have at the Barn Dance eating Candy and having a Dandy time. It will be nice to meet our Golf Caddy’s Sweetheart there. However his sweetheart isn’t allowed to go to these Barn Dances with out Her Daddy who oversees that her new sweetheart behaves responsibly!
DADDY0 -
That is a wonderful Daddy to oversee the Caddys sweetheart's behavior. I heard the sweetheart's name is Madeleine but she goes by "Maddy". He name is the same as the cookies we will be eatting.
MADDY1 -
The Daddy of Maddy wears muddy boots as a message to potential suitors that he will run through the swamp if necessary to protect his daughter!

The only word I could come up with is "Biddy" which is what we called the chickens growing up or it also means "a woman, especially an elderly one, regarded as annoying or interfering". This definition certainly does not match any of us! I will use the word but I can not think how to use this in a sentence about this annoying person that would match our story. My brain is tired.
BIDDY1 -
Biddy is a word that was used often in my childhood as an unflattering description of an old woman. I have also heard of a biddy hen but can not remember what it means so I guess we could just call it a birdy!?
BIRDY1 -
To us a biddy chicken was a baby chicken. Maybe it meant a "little bitty chicken". Birdy is a good word because it encompasses a lot of flying birds - and yes chickens do fly! They would fly over the fence and put themselves in danger of getting eaten by other animals unless we clipped their wings so they could not do it. They loved to peck and scratch in the ground to get worms. When they did that, they would get their feet "dirty".
DIRTY1 -
Yes those chickens are great escape artists, we sure need to clip their wings or they sure will get their feet dirty, and oh what a mess and a smell from the swampy water and mud. So while we clip all those wings let’s listen to a DITTY (music)
DITTY0 -
Thanks for explaining the biddy chicken!
The thought of dirty chicken feet and smelly swamp water is not very appetizing with my morning coffee but a ditty song was a witty followup to the mess and smell.
WITTY1 -
How fun to have a witty ditty. It makes me want to dance and swirl around but the only dance partner in the house is my "kitty". I need someone a little taller for a dance partner.
KITTY0 -
Yes JC that is a better plan having a witty song instead of the mess and smell. And the witty song will keep the Kitties away from playing in the mud!
KITTY0 -
Does anyone remember the witty, bitty song “little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky”....I think we have used most if not all of the common double T words! Finally, this song came to mind after kitty! Now I will be humming it all day! I hope you sing it with me!
TICKY
1 -
I had forgotten this song but now remember it now that I googled it. It is true we are put in identity boxes by the world and they think we all look the same. I'm did not know what ticky-tacky was but but google helped with this too. Ticky-tacky means 'inferior material". I am going to use it as my next word.
TACKY1 -
Linda, thanks for sharing the ticky-tacky definition with us as "inferior material”. Very clever to use tacky for your next word! The definition reminded me of some discussions I have heard through the years regarding the materials used for the school track & field and how certain materials can affect performance.
TRACK1 -
Yes Judith, the materials used for track and field can affect performance. My son had a huge "truck" when he was in highschool that was so heavy it made grooves in our pavement ouside the house. I think the material in the roadway was not very strong that they used.
TRUCK1 -
Yes and I will look in my Trunk for more ideas,
TRUNK0 -
Your son had a very heavy truck indeed to make grooves in pavement! I have an old trunk that I emptied over the weekend...it smells like burnt marshmallow!
BURNT1 -
I do not know how I would feel to have an old trunk that smells like burnt marshmallows. Is that a smell you like? When anything "burns" I have a tendency to dislike the smell unless if it is a floral smelling candle.
BURNS As a sideline, Burns was my maden name and I wanted to get rid of it because people teased me about it a lot. They would say things like "do you cousins called first degree burns, or second degree burns"? It was expecially bad when a new girl started at our school with the last name Sparks who became my friend. Sparks cause Burns, etc.1 -
Oh my that would cause quite a stir two school girls Sparks and Burns, wonder what adventure you girls went on each semester when you began a new school year! I am sure you felt a “Burn” coming on! However, that would of causes a turn in the road! So let’s see what Turns next?
TURNS0 -
The childhood burns from taunting can last a lifetime. I am glad to know you had a special friend named Sparks...and isn’t it interesting that we all met each other as part of a Spark Team! As the world turns, so do our lives. A compassionate nurse understands the pain caused from bullying. We send the young girl inside you warm hugs and pray blessings into your life.
NURSE1 -
Purse1

Thank-you all for your kind comments. I was a shy and quiet girl who easily blushed and they thought it was funny. It did not happen a lot but I feel your hugs! The burns caused by the name calling is only a distant memory now. I think it helped me as a nurse to be more careful with the word I used as I worked with my patients. It I can remember language arts, maybe I could "parse" out the sentences they used against me.
PARSE1 -
Yes bullying is so destructive, and getting away from the Surname Burns, I remember as a Nurse seeing many patience in such agony from being in a fire and having more than 50% of their bodies burned. I wasn’t Nursing at the time but was on holiday at a Christian Music and Teaching seminar. I took my both kids very young, we all loved camping and my husband loved it too, we had a huge tent and took it that weekend. I had gone to the Nurse Station to get some Tylenol as I forgot mine and needed to get rid of a headache, while there our cook was brought in with burns to half of his body, in all my years as a nurse that experience was the worst I had ever experienced. We treated the burns until the ambulance came, never have forgotten it.
I wonder if we can get a Spare Trailer and have a weekend away to rest up and see where our World will turn next!
SPARE0 -
Once you parse out the bully remarks inflicted upon you, I think you will find the scars have made you stronger and that you have abilities unique to yourself to help other people...beauty for ashes.
The story of your Chef saddens my heart...that headache of yours had a purpose...you were able to help someone with first-aid and comfort and prayers. We can be on the look out for a spare trailer and go back to the aspen grove to rest in God’s creation.
ASPEN1 -
Judith - the story of the cook is so sad. I am glad you were there to help out. I worked in a unit that had two rooms specifically for burn patients. The treatment the doctor did was very painful and the solution we put on the dressings after the treatments would stain our white uniforms gray. A spare trailer to go back to the aspen grove would be nice. The shade will keep us cooler. Resting under the trees sounds excellent. Are any of you a "naper" (yes this is a word it is one who takes a nap)?
NAPER1 -
Thank you Linda, my Nursing was mainly in Rehab and Paediatrics but that camping trip was my first experience of treating a Burn patient!
I agree think we all need to find the spare trailer and go to the aspen grove and rest, yes even Nap, and yes I am a naper 💤😴
And as we find our way to the aspen grove let’s stop at the country store and pick up a Paper to read all about their news!
PAPER0 -
I love power naps, so yes, I am a naper.
Good idea to get a paper for local news. There is a summer opera house nearby with famous performers. Maybe the paper will have a schedule.
OPERA1 -
An opera would be fine to go to but I also am a bit of a country girl too. Do they have any horse shows in the paper? I would like to watch them use their "ropes" as they lasso animals.
ROPES1 -
As a matter of fact they have horse shows and they have the Musical Ride put on by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Academy! It’s a very popular ride, you all would love it! The Horse ride is spectacular.
