Hanky Panky

Going through files and found a couple of word games Grandma had sent for back in 1939 and 1940. Hanky Panky is where "the quizzer gives the contestant a definition containing an adjective and a noun. The contestant must answer with a two-word phrase similar in meaning to the original definition, in which the two words rhyme." Here are the first three. Any takers?

inebriated polecat

naked rabbit

fleshy rodent

Brrr!

It's cold out! Around 11 degrees F. It's a great day to stay in and purge files and take stock.

Brrr.

Happy New Year! and another Quiz Swiped from Roscoe!




You Are a Sonnet



There's no way we would write a whole sonnet for you

So you'll have to just believe that our love is true



You are a romantic at heart with a beautiful spirit

You should embrace who you are and never fear it

And so it was Christmas!




Your Holiday Wish is Being with Family and Friends



The holidays are near and dear to your heart. You don't need much to make you happy this time of year.

As long as you're able to be near the people you love most, you are content. It's really that simple.



You want nothing more than a full house of people celebrating the season. It doesn't matter if it's your house or not, just as long as everyone is there.

And if someone doesn't happen to be around during the holidays, you think about him or her often. You get very sentimental this time of year.
