I am getting ready to go on a short road trip

I am headed out tomorrow to one of my favorite places. It is the Kingdom of Edisto. I will look for rare sea treasures to send to Arabella to fashion her most prized invitates with. Only the richest of brides can afford these so it will be of great benefit to Arabella. I will be taking my dear friend, Tawanda with me. She also suffers from horrible headaches so I try to take her to the peaceful seaside when I can so she can languish in the salt air and listen to the sea breeze. It can be healing in itself. It is a short 1 hour or so drive from my kingdom and I will be driving my miniature house so we will have a nice warm place to camp. We are far too old to be staying in a tent. We also need the comfort of a stove as we are far too fat to go hungry for very long. You know one gets used to certain things and eating is one of these things. They have no french orange donuts here- or anything even close to them so we will have to improvise.- with cookies, cakes and such. I hear they may be selling Girl Scout cookies at the local market. There is a local market that we pass that has home made key lime pie if they are open. They also have a pluff mud pie that is to die for. It is a seasonal market so it is probably closed this time of year. It is seasonal for fruits and veggies- these treats are just extras that they carry.We will partake in some local seafood while we are there- shrimp. UMMMMMMWe have caught blue crabs before when camping with Lady Sunshine and her family. The grandboys love to crab. It is an art that I was taught as a child by Queen Gertrude and King Carldean (our parents). You must tie a chicken neck to a string and weight it down. Toss it out during low tide and wait for a crab to start nibbling on it. SLOWLY pull the line in and net the crab. What a feast these make.

Not To Worry, I have all the answers because I

am the wisest of the sisterhood and the oldest but just how old is a mystery, but that's another story. Arabella was not run over by the bus.I checked the news reports.No bus run overs that day.And Bobo was not in her kingdom that day, so he couldn't have her phone . He has opened a BBQ eatery in Be Dehlia's kingdom.He is taking advantage of  all that wild hog Be Dahlia has hunted .I saw this in the news paper article she sent. So why hasn't  Be Dahlia heard from Arabella since the moment her bus came????  Well, the moment the bus door opened Arabella saw a large box next to the driver with her name on it. The driver smiled at her and said special delivery for you,Arabella '',designer of all things wedding invites.'' The box was toooo big for her to carry to her design studio by her self. so she had to find someone to help her. the bus kept driving around the block until she  found a trust worthy person to carry the box, you know, someone that wouldn't grab it and run because the box  smelled really good .She was finally able to secure help from a extra large cowterpilla she spotted sunning himself on a building roof. apparently  a few of his  many legs were hanging off the side of the building and she spotted them . Cowterpillars are known for their strength and helpfulness but they only provide it to people they like.Arabella owns a tiny cowterpilla so the extra large one really liked her and was willing to carry the box to her studio. all this took 4 days. 1 day to locate the help,1 day for the cowterpilla to climb down from the roof top.1 day for the bus to get gas because he ran out circling the block and 1 day for the cowterpillar to carry the box to the studio. ok, we are at day 5 , Arabella opens the box . SURPRISE !! on the top sat many pumpkin skins just waiting to be fashioned into invites.but wait, what about that delightful smell,hmmmmmm.Arabella carefully removed the pumpkin skins to discover 17 rubber boots each one stuffed with Bo Bo's BBQ ,it was still warm ! and you wonder why you haven't heard from her... she is eating BBQ and  designing invites. Now that we have cleared up this mystery lets move on to Arabella's question on the brides names. First, the mean bride - allow her to see the mug . then tell her to close her eyes and then bonk her on the head with it and tell her to open her eyes. after this  she will either be nice or leave, either way you win.  . and anyway anyone with that name other than you has stolen it. you can have her arrested . Next , the beautiful bride BoBo.did she smell like BBQ? show her the Be Dahlia mug , if she loves it ,you have much bigger problem !
