Hark, there is a word I know - QUACK. I love baby ducks don't you? Now when I thought of QUACK, I remembered my Aunt Gertrude which we affectionately called "The Old QUACK". Now she thought she was a lady of QUALITY. A lady of high rank. All because she had been invited to the Queen's annual garden party. Following a very old British custom, she wore a hat that the Duchess of York wouldn't even wear. She thought she had a QUAIL on her hat but in fact it looked more like a sick seagull. But I guess you would have called her QUAINT!
Having said all that, I decided to put a QUADRIFOLIATE on my page for good luck. And then I decided I needed more than one so I used six more - a girl can never be too careful!!!
Enjoy!!
I do hope this makes you smile! And Anne - I am thinking about you Sugar.
Thanks for visiting and leaving such smashing comments!!!!!!

Sandy, that is so sweet and FUNNY!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your story and images-don't you just love those stamps?! I wish I had more of them. And yes... I do LOVE ducks, especially baby duck. When I was little and was on a farm, I thought they were "drawning" in their little water dishes-I was saving them, by swaddling them lake little babies, and walking them in a baby stroller. I couldn't understand why they didn't wanted to cooperate, and trying to wiggle their way out of swaddling and run away... :(
Good choice! For a fun page
I cannot stop laughing Sandy, but I cannot be humourous about my comment. All I think about are Q words in french, and I must call it quits, cause has nothing to do with your post !!! that I love very much. Imagination, and the talent to put all this together, with a story to back it up! You made my day. Hugs. xox

ReplyDeleteLove your page and 'Aunt Gertrude's hat looks wonderful to me!!!
Have a great weekend.

What a Quipster you are with this Quirky post today. I had so many Questions about a lot of the "Q" words you used, but I sure loved the one about your Old Aunt Quack, who was a Quality lady. I am still Quivering with chuckles after reading this Quotable post (oh yes, I hunted up the scrabble dictionary on Google, cause I'd have been in a Quandry to come up with all them words! Hope it's nice up in the hills. It be gloomy & cool 'round here, but none of the rain yet. Still got hammering & framming in our attic, and stuff being tracked through the house. Will be glad when this be done! TFS, Hugs & thanks for sharing.

ReplyDelete"what the QUACK ordered" (although I am a bit funny about the use of that word!)
This post is such a tonic Sandy, I am sure so many of us are sitting here with sore ribs from all our chuckling.

ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO! This is fantastic, you rocked this one girlie!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, what a fantastic page, and I've been laughing like a drain reading your story. All those Q's you are very witty and clever.
ReplyDeleteLove the bit about Aunt Gertrude, I think it must have been her that was sitting beside us at a wedding reception the other year, this lady had a facinator with white feathers on her head, and my hubby kept giving it queer looks as he got more drunk as the evening went on. I just knew what was going through his mided and willed him not to say anything, but no, he did in fact asked the lady why she had a dead seagull on her head. I was mortified, thankfully, she took it in good spirit, as Alistair was filled with it, the alcoholic kind.
Wonderful Post Sandy, hugs Kate x
Hi Sandy... This really did make me LOL...your pages are fabulous are always.... Love the Aunt Gertrude Story...Bless her... Hugs May x x x
