Quote of the Month: Open the window in the center of your chest and let the spirits fly in and out. Rumi
(My theme for this year’s A to Z Challenge is Open.)
Millie and Willie, a sock puppet creation, are here to tell you their story during the April A to Z Blogging Challenge.
Open to Excursions
Millie and Willie Cottonpoly checking their calendar
Millie: Willie, just look at the calendar. We’re in for a busy weekend.
Willie: Let me see here. A poet is coming to the college today.
Millie: We’re invited to a mystery themed birthday party on Saturday afternoon.
Willie: Mr. Happy wants us to come out to his place sometime this weekend to see what’s cookin’.
Millie: Uff da. I think I’ll need to take a nap.
Willie: Want me to join you?
Millie: A good foot rub does relax me so.
Tillie: Woof (scratches on the door)
Millie: Someone will need to take Tillie for a walk first.
Willie: I’ll do it, Millie. You go put your feet up. I’ll be up to rub them in a few minutes.
Millie: You’re so good to me.
(Willie gets Tillie ready for a walk while whisting I’ve been working on the railroad.)
Go. Create. Inspire!
Journaling Prompt: Be open to excursions and you might find inspiration. Do something new and exciting this weekend! Write about it in your journal, or if you’re in the A to Z Challenge, maybe it will help you with the rest of the letters/month!
Sock puppets needing to put their feet up. That’s so funny!
Hi Mary,
Was Willie named after Boxcar Willie?
It’s fun to see what the puppets will do next.
Hi, Willie and Millie. I like your relationship.
Yes. I saw Boxcar Willie at the Fertile Fair when I was younger. Bought the hat and everything. When I saw this fabric, I thought of him, and poof Willie was created.
When they’re out walking Tillie, please have them stop by and pick up Jazzer. That way it won’t look quite so ridiculous. Two sock puppets walking one real and one imaginary dog draw less gawkers than two sock puppets walking just an imaginary dog.
She has him trained with those foot rubs! Come to think of it, my wife has me trained as well…
these guys really get around–wonderful piece of advice—do something fun!!!
I could use a foot-rub too! What nice man Willie is 😉
Millie and Willie are stars. They should really have their own show!
Foot rubs and walking the dog. Life of leisure for sure
Mary, these two need their own weekly series… or their own blog!
