I am running late this morning. Had to make a stop and it took a little longer than usual. Teahea. Momma said, "you could take the girl out of the country, but you couldn't take the country out of the girl". Well, I suppose she is right. I know the Queen has so many fancy teapots and I wanted to take her sumpin' special to her shindig. I knew she would not have an outhouse teapot so I am taking her this one as soon as I get done here. I am going to put it in this purty red box it is sitting on and I am sure the guards will surely look, wondering what is in it, cuz they like red.
Sorry, Cindy, once a goof ball, always a goof ball, can't take that out of the girl either.
I will make a fancy card for this occasion, a little later.

An outhouse teapot! I bet even Cindy doesn't have one of those...Ummm - I just hope you didn't use the water from that water barrel to make the tea. Maybe I'll give it a miss, just in case. At least it's one step up from a house I stayed in in the Auvergne in France, where it was just a little shed over a stream.

Hey what the heck! I don't even have an outhouse teapot! I am gonna hire Bertie the thief to make off with your outhouse teapot and then I can feature it one week and you can re-use your Windsor Castle card! Snort!
Oh Shirt, I know you struggle with the country in you! Wearing boots to the red carpet affair was my first clue! But, I must say, at this point, the Queen can no longer be shocked. As a matter of fact, I hear there is a press conference in a hour, something about the guards from Buckingham Palace being shamed by laughing on the job! Did you send them a fax from one of these out-houses???
You know I love you coming today! I will look forward to your fancy card but I will also make you show me the inside too because knowing you, that's where the *goofy* will be.
You know what they say, birds of a feather..........

Hey, everyone! Shirt the Squirt is here, and she brought the Queen an outhouse!!! What a hoot! Only Shirt. I wanna know where you buy gingham toilet paper. Don't let Mutnik see your cute card, though. I'm askeered she might try to make this a new jail cell for poor, sweet Anne Ryan.
