Lincoln Laughs!

These folks came
 ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA.
 CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

 Here we are at the Lincoln Craft Fair
in
THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

This is Fred and Mrs. Fred who
were

SO EXCITED TO SEE MY BOOK!

When they realized that

I WAS BORN IN GEORGIA,

it was like

THE CHERRY ON TOP OF A ICE CREAM SUNDAY.
YUM, YUM .

SWEET!!

We met so many happy people at our little booth.
We listened to my song.
Read my book!

YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE
CAME TO VISIT
AND
STAYED
FOR A WHILE!!

It was fun.

HEY FRED AND MRS. FRED,
DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL US
AND LET US KNOW
HOW YOUR TRIP BACK HOME WAS.

Anyway,
the days were not terribly warm there in Lincoln.
On Saturday Mama bundled me
in a sweater of hers,
that she put on me like a doggie sweater,
then she put on
a wool plaid blanket from Scotland
that old friend Victoria
gave to Mama at one time,
and finally I was wrapped
in a insulated blanket that was like a jacket.

It took me a while to get warm.

MY TOES WERE CHATTERING.

I was so bundled, people thought

MAMA WAS HOLDING A BABY.
HA.
Once they saw my little nose sticking out,
they were always interested in visiting.

What a great picture this is.
This is Patrice,
LITTLE STELLA,
and Marc.

Stella is four years old,
JUST A BABY.
Patrice is a retired teacher,
JUST LIKE MAMA.

They are all from
Walden Vermont,
part of the
North East Kingdom.

We had a great visit.

And don't we all make a great picture.
Thank you
to
STELLA  AND HER FAMILY
FOR CHECKING OUT
OUR LITTLE BOOK.

Stella  made me think
about my o'l bro Stoney Wall.
COUCH POTATOES THAT WE WERE.
All the times that
he and I and Mama
slept on the couch.
Mama would line up on her left hip,
Stoney Wall would lay across her right hip,
and
LITTLE OLD ME
WOULD CRAM MY WIGGLY BODY
BETWEEN MAMA'S BUTT
AND
THE BACK OF THE COUCH.
JUST THE WAY I LIKED IT.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!

And so,
many  little kids came by
and read my entire book
while listening
to my song
which was
JUST
SO PRECIOUS.

So many wanted to pat me
and well
I guess
I never
got so much attention

IN THE WHOLE OF MY LIFE.

We finished our time in Lincoln camping at the Hancock camp site at the White Mountains National Forest. It was such fun. Brother Merlie really enjoyed hanging out by the fire, as did I. You can see just my ear sticking out here. The second picture was of our back yard at the camp site. It is the Swift River. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL.
