Of Olde Tomes and Cajuns

First, the cool contest concerning the antique book~~

Author lady, friend, mom o' eight, fairy princess Jenni James is hosting a blog contest over at her place. Now, y'all know how I love books, and olde ones in particular, right?

So you're gonna help me win it, oui? All ya have to do is pop over to Jenni's loverly blog HERE and leave a comment telling her Angie sent ya.

Best part? By commenting, you're entered in the contest too! Sooo...if receiving an antique tome in the post from dear Jenni from Jolly Ol' England appeals to you, then "git ta gittin'!"

BTW, the SpellChecking function detests me! LOL

Now, about the Cajun-ness of it all [Insert Niecy Nash's voice here. And if you don't know who she is, you should!], here are just a few of the wonderments produced by my home state:

Ledbetter Lunacy -- "Dad Does NOT Always Know Best"

TGIF, and hope it's a good one fer ya! Today's episode of family insanity has to do with the way children sometimes take what they hear very literally. [You'll understand by the time you see the last frame.]

So, without further ado, we'll crank up a little Cajun Zydeco music for today's edition. Can you hear the chank-a-chank, the whine of the fiddle and the wheeze of the accordion? Hope you enjoy today's...

~~LEDBETTER LUNACY~~
