Booker-T's Happy Day

“Diddly dee, diddly dee,” sang Booker-T as he hurried along the sidewalk to Jake's house. “I'm so happy, diddly dee, diddly dee.”

Booker-T bounced up the porch steps to where Jake sat on the swing. “You are in a really good mood this morning, Booker-T,” said Jake.

“I know,” said Booker-T. “It is a wonderful day today, don't you think?”

“Yes,” said Jake. “The sun is out and the air is warm. I love the quiet mornings.”

“Me too Jake,” said Booker-T. “Today is especially a happy one.”

Midge Remembers

“Fiddle Dee Dee,” sang Midge as she skipped up the walkway to the porch where Jake was sitting in the swing. “Fiddle Dee Dee, the fly has married the bumblebee.”

“What are you singing?” laughed Jake.

“I heard my owner's sister singing that to her little boy,” said Midge. “Isn't it cute?”

“It is different,” smiled Jake. “The fly married a bumblebee. Now that is different.”

“Yes,” said Midge. “I think a lot of the little kids songs and fairy tales are different. But they are cute.”

Hello Friends

  "Hi,  I'm Midge.   Hello  to all my friends around the world.  I am hoping you are enjoying my little stories with me and all my friends.   We enjoy sharing our little adventures with you all.  Sometimes we make new friends along the way.  New friends are so much fun, don't you think so?  Jake is my best friend and we always like to go to the park to play with our friends.  Sometimes I get excited about things I have never seen before.  Remember my adventure where I thought the aliens had landed in the park?  Jake thought I was funny.  And how about Booker-T? 

Gabby Has Sad News

“Hello Jake!” called Midge as she strolled up the walkway to the front porch where Jake was laying on the porch swing. Midge noticed his eyes were closed as she hurried up the steps. “Hey Jake! Jake! Wake up Jake!”

Jake slowly opened his eyes and smiled a litttle. “Hi Midge. What time is it?”

“How long have you been sleeping?” asked Midge.

“I don't know,” said Jake. “Depends on what time it is now.”

“I think it was about 7am when I left my house to come here,” said Midge. “But I don't know for sure.”

“It only takes you about 10 minutes to get here from your house,” said Jake. “Did you walk straight here without stopping off to talk to anyone?”

Randy Joins the friends

“Hello Randy,” said Midge as she approached the tree beside the pond. “How are you?”

“I am good,” said Randy.

“We haven't seen you around here lately,” said Jake. “What happened to you?”

“I was a few blocks away with my brothers,” said Randy. “This is first time I have been to the park in long time.”

“I know,” said Booker-T. “We missed you.”

“Have you seen Snappy this morning?” asked Jake.
