What An Interesting Soapbox

It looks granulated
Like a pile of sawdust
Oh yes, I took a chain saw to my standing

Then how does it support you
In your mountings?
I saturated the sweepings with epoxy

So latter-day chemistry
Saved your candidacy?
It would appear so

Then whence does your backbone
Derive its stiffening?
From a red, white or blue Argo box

You appear electable
Yes, the hardware and laundry
departments put it all together for me

[D. Zep Dix 2002 ]

Something beautiful now:
S'wonderful

A remarkable table


KD goes on the table
forbidden
and has the gall to lay down
right next to the NO-NO mister
until we pick it up to spray her
then she hastily departs.




Original notebook draft
carved in tabletop when our children 
were little.
They grew up with it
and it still serves us at the Odd Fellows now.
 Reads:
"AROUND THIS TABLE
EBB AND FLOW
THE FRIENDS OF THE DIXES
COME AND GO
WE WISH YOU WELL
WE LOVE YOU SO
DO PLEASE COME BACK
AND HAVE SOME MO'!
AROUND THIS TABLE
WAX AND WANE
SPECIAL FOLKS GATHER
WHETHER ILL OR SANE
I'LL HOLD YOUR WEIGHT
AND BEAR YOUR PAIN
FILL YOUR HEART AND GUTS
MAKE YOU RIGHT AGAIN
BUT IF PERCHANCE
A CURE'S NOT FOUND
TODAY FOR YOUR AILMENT
YOU'LL REBOUND
FEEL FREE ON THIS SURFACE
TO RAIL AND POUND
AT A PLACE SUCH AS THIS
YOUR SPRING IS REWOUND"
~
A sumptuous dinner was served on this time-worn table night before last.
The menu in our downtown locus of the Odd Fellows hall
was eggplant parmesan with a spaghetti side
and the dessert was a home-baked apple pie.



How could we resist this eggplant at the Waukesha farmers market?

Dee's pies!
This apple pie made of apples from our daughter Erin's in-law's orchard
ELA ORCHARD, ROCHESTER WI
go check it out
a step into the past.
Best apples and cider
and remember ~ 'Money Cannot Buy'
the Raccoon's endorsement






Best apple pie I've ever EVER had!

Around this (all-purpose) table, wax and wane...
