Now a question for you - Who is the owner of the following words "Am I right? Am I right?" I will toss these imploring and expressive words over my tentacle, back at you, in hopes of one of your precious gold stars!

If you look very closely you can see me and the Mr. Slug waaaaay up there on the scaffolding to get a closer look! My optic tentacles tend to get dizzy at that height!<br /> Thanks for stopping by Slug's Rest, I had alot of papers to grade before I could show my face back at the class! I hope you didn't give that substitute teacher too much trouble while we were out sliding and/or crawling about the garden! I hope we didn't cause you any worry with our temporary sabbatical. <br />Please note:***I want all of your dear readers to know that you, Owen, should be very proud of yourself for successfully completing your current course of study and will be graduating Magma-goo-loudly from the advanced math program over at SRU, Slugs Rest University!<br />For anyone wondering what all of this means, suffice to say that by visiting Owen, you are rubbing tentacles with a very special slug who corresponds with an upwardly mobile group of slugs located on the Central Coast of Oregon, a location with a high water content and high population of slugs, which reflects well on all of you.<br />I would also like you to know that your poetry in a previous post was excellent and not to be missed. I had alot of reading to catch up on here at Mr. Toad's whilst I and the Mr. S. were absent! Magnificent. :) <br />Love,<br />Mrs. and Mr. Slugbabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485788524901242655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-63543483907134872412010-07-29T03:04:32.135+02:002010-07-29T03:04:32.135+02:00What a great ode to life and beauty.

Now it is my mission in life to see a Baobab tree in my lifetime. <br />What you said about pock marked walls is so true. It could be anywhere. But (and this is the great cynic saying this)as much strife and hatred as there is in this world, there is as much goodness. It just doesn't get noticed as much because the strife always creates the bigger impression.pRiyAhttp://theplumtree2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
