Yes, today is Fun Monday, and that will come in just a minute after
THIS MESSAGE FROM THE EMERGENCY SWAMPCAST SYSTEM !
May I direct your attention to a valiant young man in our community named Jordan.
CLINK THIS LINK to see a smile that the VFC-13 Saints out of Fallon flying those F-5's put on his face just the other day.
Believe me, it's well worth your time. I know most readers don't have time to go to every article linked on a post, but if you do, you will leave there with a smile on YOUR face, too.
Be sure to leave a comment on that post and where you are posting from so Jordan knows that these comments are coming from all over the World.
Jordan underwent another chemo-therapy treatment this weekend. His dad told me that as soon as he returns home from the hospital and feels well enough, he will read this post. Your words of encouragement will be there waiting for him. And, maybe a thank you or three for the pilots, too !
REQUEST: Any bloggers who want to put this link and information on their blogs concerning Jordan is MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO SO ! It would be interesting to see how many words of encouragment from ALL-OVER-THE-WORLD he could receive. Be sure to tell your readers to include where they are posting from.

Today's Fun Monday Hostess...Jo Beaufoix who is like Kate Moss, but not, has this NEWS FLASH:
I want to know about your first ‘celebrity’ crush. You know, the one you fancied from that band, or that film, or who read the news, or who won Gold at the Olympics.
Did you have their pictures on your wall or in your locker?
Did you dress like them, style or colour your hair like them, follow them, meet them, marry them? (It could happen.)
Photos of THEM would be good, photos of YOU at the time you liked them would be even better.
Also, if you have time, I’d like to know whether they had any influence over your life, the person you became, or if they were just an embarrassing blip you would kind of rather forget about.
Okay?
OKAY! Let's turn back those clocks several decades.
Some fundamental requirements:
You will need some paisley velour hip-hugger pants, a wide belt...a VERY wide belt, platform shoes (the same color as the belt, of course) and a slinky knit blouse (shirt)
Here goes:
There was this guy:
And then there were these guys:
And then, later, there's this guy:
I must say, that was a Blast from the Past for me.
My daughters have now slinked under their desks and are thinking, "OMG! Please, no one visit our mom's blog today !"
And just when they thought it couldn't get any worse, it did...
Jo did ask for a photo of us taken at the time, so here's one:
Swampy circa: 1969
And no, those eyebrows are NOT painted on, they grow there...and have now begun to sprout on my chin.
I had a BLAST with this Fun Monday. Now, excuse me while I go find a
surf board,
a tennis racket,
while ***hummmming***

Have a Happy Happy Week !
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for information about another Shin-Dig here...this time a BABY SHOWER ! Yup, that's right, it's going to be raining babies. Sh-h-h-h. Don't tell KarmynR. You're going to want to be in on this.
