From Warner Bros. and Looney Tunes stars Witch Hazel. It's a song that got stuck in my head this morning when I read the word prompt....CUP.

Good Morning Sweet Annie...
ReplyDeleteHere is a cup of happiness for you for the day, with a spoon full of lovin to stir it with. Don't you just love Witch Hazel? Until you showed her, I had forgotten about her. She was so fun to watch.
As always you have posted a lovely post. You taught me about a ship's bollards which I did not know. I always learn something new here each and every day.
Have a beautiful day my sweet friend. Please know that you are so loved. Country hugs and much love...Sherry
Oh dear. I guess I'd have to turn down an invitation to tea here. That's the 2nd time today.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that was a fun post. Thanks for sharing it.
